Book du jour - tunnels

Playing with "tunnel" books - concertinas with a hole in the centre, and various things going through that tunnel.

Though the plan was to use the printed sheets, I found myself punching little squares out of tube maps, all along the District line, in fact. The remnants make a kind of mad city-scape -
A sheet of A3 paper becomes a five-section tunnel concertina, and catches the early sun -
Another sheet of A3, folded over before punching, is sturdier but less successful -
It was too early to start sewing the little squares together (my sewing room is right over my neighbour's bedroom) - something for tomorrow?
