I have been collaging for a while now...I feel the need to use the copious amount of books that I have been collecting. These new works are themed "Love" and will be at the
Con Artists Handmade Market this Saturday.
Made of recycled wood (very old Norco pine that is an inch thick and without any knots...beautiful) they are solid enough to be placed on a surface or hung on a wall.
I am a bower bird, and in addition to all these books I keep all the scraps of books I cut up for garlands and banners. I have to re-use it some-how...god forbid I actually throw anything away!
Pop over to
Kootoyoo to see how others create from their collections.
Throw anything away???? Never!!! :)
