Day 13, Freaks and Geeks
Day 13 of #ArtAdventCalendar on Bluesky, I was really into popup books when I was a kid, so naturally, I throw them into my scrapbooks from time to time. This one was uses an accordion fold w/intertwined strips of photos from an old yearbook. Why do people sell their yearbooks? Freaks & Geeks Mixed

Day 6: Ready to
