The book-of-the-week for Week 10 is titled Foot Paths. This book is a pop-up book about shoes. It's housed in a hard cover case with a green Japanese silk bookcloth spine piece, Italian print paper, and a hand-lettered title plate in Magic Marker® on heavyweight Stonehenge print paper.

Inside, there are six page spreads...also using heavyweight Stonehenge® print paper. Each page spread is laid out
landscape style with two triangle-supported pop-ups across the centerfold. To learn more about making triangle-supported pop-ups, see Carol Barton's book,
Pocket Paper Engineer, Volume I. Each pop-up is a
pair of legs... with a different type of
shoe... Watercolor paints, hand lettering with Magic Marker®, and hand drawn illustrations with Sharpie Marker® fill each page and tell the story... where the shoes represent different points in
life.
