Book art

Posted by lea at 1:42 PM
I love books. Not just reading books, but books themselves. The weight and smell of the paper, the stitching, the binding... all the details that go into the craft of making a book.

I also love the things people make from books. Check out this book origami by artist Isaac Salazar:







He says:
I see my work as a way to display a meaningful piece of art onto a book that would otherwise sit on a shelf and collect dust; it’s also my way of recycling a book that might otherwise end up in a landfill.  The words or symbols I use are drawn from anything that invokes inspiration or encouragement, such as “Read”, “Dream” and the Recycle symbol.  If my work also makes people look at a book and even art in a new light then the piece has done its job

Awesome, eh?

Over Christmas, I also espied (I don't think I've ever used that word before! What a first) a Christmas tree made from books at one of my favourite stationery stores in Surry Hils, Paper2. I took this photo on my phone:

I don't know why the image is appearing on its side, but just imagine the tree upright.
Gorgeous.


Can Kindle do any of that? I don't think so.

Hi, I believe your blog could be having browser compatibility issues.
When I look at your blog in Safari, it looks fine however,
if opening in IE, it has some overlapping issues.
I simply wanted to provide you with a quick heads up!
Other than that, great website!

Have you ever considered about adding a little bit more than just your articles?
I mean, what you say is important and all.
Nevertheless imagine if you added some great visuals or video
clips to give your posts more, "pop"! Your content is excellent but with pics and video clips, this blog could undeniably be one of the
best in its niche. Amazing blog!

When I originally commented I clicked the "Notify me when new comments are added" checkbox
and now each time a comment is added I get several e-mails with the same comment.
Is there any way you can remove people from that service?
Thanks a lot!

Very good blog! Do you have any hints for aspiring writers?
I'm planning to start my own site soon but I'm a little
lost on everything. Would you suggest starting with a free
platform like Wordpress or go for a paid option?

There are so many options out there that I'm completely confused .. Any suggestions? Thanks!

With havin so much written content do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright violation?
My website has a lot of exclusive content I've either written myself or outsourced but it appears a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my agreement. Do you know any methods to help protect against content from being ripped off? I'd definitely appreciate it.
