As well as being great fun to create, the concept of a concertina sketchbook promises endless permutations that cannot be achieved with a standard one, which is limited to displaying at most just two pages at a time. It has the advantage of allowing you to view as many or as few pages at one time as you wish.
As with any sketchbook, you can use it in any way that you want. It can be a place for experimentation, a travel journal, a personal diary, or a stand-alone piece of artwork. Each page can be unique, or sequential, or the whole image a continuous painting or drawing. You can introduce collage, use mixed media
