The internal part of the book was falling apart but the lady salvaged the hard cover and made very quirky bags from them.

I love books and have a large collection and have a book on the go at all times but I can still see that it is very clever to be able to re purpose like this. What a clever guy. Your title - maybe- Book Lock as apposed to PaddLock.

Tearing them up is a shocking waste of a resource that someone will appreciate in the way it was intended. Some of us have obscure tastes and do want apparently old and 'past it' books. I wish more of them made it for sale so I could read them, but in our cosmetic world too many get thrown out by charity shops. That too is not good and is wasteful. I watched someone ripping out a page of a beautifully illustrated book the other day (online video) in order to collage a single sentence. The whole book was destroyed. I would mind anyway, but the 'art work' is often pretty ugly. I like to make art but not by being destructive.

Dip each in some kind of exterior acrylic (seen something like) or such, and use the dipped books to build a shed. Spines out, or maybe out and in, for a double layer and book spines to read on exterior and interior. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-58134548468304239032016-09-28T19:32:16.858+01:002016-09-28T19:32:16.858+01:00A Closed Book?A Closed Book?Attilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15916442932314835859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-26300830853089361222016-09-28T19:27:21.217+01:002016-09-28T19:27:21.217+01:00Locked and Secured?

Have you checked out the folded book art on Pinterest? I wish I had the patience to try some type of book folding. Can't wait to see what you have called your art piece. I appreciate it when you find things that I may not know about, and take the time to share.
