Don't be upset at any negative feedback regarding your lovely creations. I'm a total book geek and always said I'd never deface a book. When they're stuck on shelves, gathering dust, turning them into something beautiful is a gift and should not be ridiculed. Keep doing this..... Your ideas are delightful. I've made candles from some of my old paperbacks and my family and friends love them 😀
This is a fabulous way to recycle unwanted books. I buy many from my local library sales...it helps them and I make gifts that friends LOVE. Thank you for more ideas for book gifts. PS. With so many people on nook and kindle we need to make ART. Love and Hugs
Our library has many books that we have to discard - outdated encyclopedias, damaged books, etc. Kids turn them into AMAZING art! I think it's a great way of giving a book that would have a less than distinguished end a magnificent new life!
I am taking my computer to a senior group for a Christmas craft workshop and am planning to let them watch your clear and wonderful instructions. Thank you so much for producing this!
This is beautiful work, you have increased the inherent beauty in a book and made it more beautiful, i can't wait to make one, thank you for sharing this
I love this - the demo is so helpful, thank you! Detailed measured pattern-based techniques are fun, but I especially like your approach and encouragement to be creative, vs. follow a detailed pattern. Thank you for generously sharing your ideas.
So cool!! And the local library always has old books for sale. The only problem I had watching the video is that I am very hard of hearing and could barely hear you talking even with the volume all the way up. I look forward to seeing more videos. Thanks!!
I am sitting here gob smacked, i love it, i will never look at another book quite the same, well done love it , thank you for sharing, i had to sub to keep you for more amazing things , love sent dede xxx
People like you should sell books online because in my middle school all the 6th graders have to make book art and h could probably make a lot just by selling these things
Thanks Kerry! For this type of project, I'm not particular with the age of the book as long as the pages are flexible (won't crack when I fold them) and the right thickness (not too thick and not too thin) and that the spine is not brittle either so it won't breakdown on me when I'm folding. I find though that the older the book is, the better the paper quality is.
thanks Johwey, I am on the hunt for old books for a couple of other projects as well :) finding them without it costing the earth and a kidney is a challenge though
A library's used bookstore is a good place to hunt for old books. I usually have good luck at my local library and I usually just pay $1-3 per book. Flea markets and vintage stores will usually have super bloated prices. A few times I'll even get free old books from Craigslist from people who just want to get rid of their stuff. :)
after the renovations of our local library are done I will be able to go check out their books and have a couple of church book shops to visit as well, and I think I will put up a 'wanted' in a couple of places as well - this is a lot more difficult towards the end of the book than it appears :) I have a greater respect now for all these artists like yourself who do these
sally sanders I work in a public library bookstore in one of the 10 largest cities in the US. Do you know what some library systems do with their withdrawn books? They throw them away or recycle books because they don't have Friends groups or the resources to sell them. Publishers and bookstores are guilty of the same thing. Would you rather have a book wind up in a landfill or be given a second life as a piece of art? Go ask your local library and the used and chain bookstores you frequent and ask what they do with their unwanted books.
Monica's Whimsy But those aren't the only books being used. If the unwanted books that were about to be thrown away were the only books being used, I'd be fine with it, but this seems to be a fairly new book being folded.
Pablo Fawkes ......that sound sad to me not over dramatic......and if Sally Sanders thinks it's 'sick' to re-use a book into something beautiful, then she obviously doesn't get out much and see what's REALLY sick in this world!......
And this is beauty? Really? Excuse me, but i can't understand really this type of art. To kill, something created with imagination, helping to your own imagination to develop. To kill this and make from it just simple thing, who will make more beautifull somebody`s home, but not himself.

There are also a lot of books you really don't need or nobody would otherwise ever use.... so at least you can do something beautiful with them! :)
A book is more than a collector of dust ! ...and if you fold'em they just gather more dust !!

Books are beautiful forms of art...and I love how they have transformed them😲
Great video! It's nice to know that I can do something creative with the books that the library won't except as donations. Thanks so much!
Thanks for sharing your talent. Beautiful. Looks like it'd be therapeutic.

This is beautiful work, you have increased the inherent beauty in a book and made it more beautiful, i can't wait to make one, thank you for sharing this

Bonsoir pouvez-vous me donner le nombre de pages du livre merci
how do you do the different names in the book?
These are really great, thanks for sharing these. I was wondering is there any particular 'age of book' or paper you prefer to work with?
Thanks Kerry! For this type of project, I'm not particular with the age of the book as long as the pages are flexible (won't crack when I fold them) and the right thickness (not too thick and not too thin) and that the spine is not brittle either so it won't breakdown on me when I'm folding.

That is sick! How could you RUIN a perfectly fine book!? What a waste. Sick.

Elaine Barker I like books more than I like people.
That is over dramatic.

you can make art with anything. it has no limits. don't cry about it.
+Kailee Guvara well said 😊
It's called art you make art with anything
And plus it's not your book
