Vintage Photo Slide Journal (by thebiglittlelunch)

A tiny photo slide journal using vintage photo slides, and mini blue graph paper pages. On the front slide of this particular book, there’s tranquil ocean-and-beach-scene, and on the back, there’s a medical slide of a pixelated brain.

This is a single point binding that explores the social acceptability of sex. Done for my Artist Books class at MICA in the fall of 2010. The pin up girls represent the acceptable form, but these ladies have a secret. Drawn in invisible ink on each pin up (visible under black light) is a illustration of a fetish. From Bondage to Pony Play, these ladies have done it all. Definitions of the fetish are written on the back of each card for those that want to learn more.

Black light photos to follow!

DIY Mini Milk Cap Accordion Books (by Monica Holtslaw)

Milk caps are like a perfect little slice of vintage pie. Each one reminds me of an intricate poster and what better to do than find two that match and sandwich a special note in between! I’ve started turning my growing collection of vintage milk caps into a delightfully functional series called Milk Mail. Once you have your note written just put it in it’s milk mailer and send it on its way!
