Accordion - Removable Spine - Green - The Garden We Grew

Since the 1st one I created was for a client and I really loved this structure and poem... I had to make one for myself.

Created the text on I believe copy paper that I had pre-cut eons ago... so thought I'd use more of it.
Wrote out the text using a Zebra pointed nib and two colors of green gouache (Holbien Terre Verte & Cypress Green) in "Bullet Rider Typeface" style and trimmed down to 5"w x 4"h.
Cut several strips of this pale green colored Mi-Tientes paper to create the accordion giving me a border of 1/4" all around the text piece.
Created the covers using some of my gelli print paper (front and back of gelli print) around some white cardstock, then slipped the ends of the accordion into the cover and held everything closed with the spine insert (the whole thing is removable if desired)

The removable spine is an interesting concept. I like it!
