Book Sculptures

It’s been a week of books and art. Here are some of the things I’ve appreciated most:

The Design Files: Interview with Nicholas Jones
I love these stunning sculptures made of beautiful old books.

Daily Imprint: We Heart Books
I want to hang these flash cards on the wall. L is for Ladybug.

Another book loving artist is Cara Borer.
The photographs are as wonderful as the sculptures.

And everything in this Fun Forever post is amazing!
I especially like the George Russell cutouts. Alice in Wonderland is one of my favourites.

And please go look at Rachael Ashe’s altered book series on Flickr. I want to buy some for my office.

Don’t forget this incredible stop-motion animation from the New Zealand Book Council:
