Flexagon "Endless" Book

$5.00

This little “endless” book form may look complicated, but I’ve reverse engineered this flexagon book design to make it simple for you to create!

I created this piece to accompany my essay, “Yarn For Grown-Ups.” I wanted to play with the idea of creating something, taking it apart, and trying again; and the “endless book” form, also called a flexagon, seemed like the perfect form for this idea of making something that is continually taking shape.

First I made four watercolor paintings with varying loose, abstract marks. Then I scanned these paintings into Procreate, where I hand-wrote a few lines of text from the essay. Then I incorporated these images into a flexagon design that you can print to create yourself!

I also made a blank version, so you can write your own text on it if you like. Instructions and a password to this demonstration video are included with the download.

I hope you have fun playing with it. Thanks for giving it a try!

Please note: printables will likely show some variation when printed!

Printers are all a little different, and they’re all a little moody (I recommend singing to them while they print to stay on their good side). Printed colors, tone, clarity, etc. may vary from screen to printer, and from printer to printer. Unfortunately my superpowers do not extend to every screen and printer in the world, but I hope you’ll still enjoy the spirit behind each piece even if inconsistencies occur.
