It’s time I started sharing some of the things that I am working on for myself. To start, here’s a new project – a book with pencils and pre-cut pieces. Colour in the parts and slot them together (no glue required) to create a harbour scene.

Here’s an old model I created for a Jurassic World book. Comes pre-cut. Just push out and slot together. No glue.

Here’s another Totally Glueless automata from a while ago – The Magnificent Marble Machine. Made from slot-together cardboard. I recently assembled one to show at the London book fair and I would completely change parts of it due to learning so much more since designing it.
