Why limit yourself to reading the little blighters?
I had a lovely customer email me yesterday asking for a nice copy of Jane Eyre which she wanted so that she could make a piece of art as a wedding gift. Oooh - at this my ears pricked up. My interest was piqued. You see I am not a purist -oh no - not for me the fixed idea that all books are completely sacred and must not under any circumstances be used for anything but their original purpose, and after all I have a tonne of books here waiting for recycling because the penny-sellers on Amazon have made them all but unsaleable. But I have to admit, folded-book art is a new one for me, so I asked her what it entailed exactly. And this is it! How gorgeous is that? I LOVE IT! Her friend is getting married and her friend's favourite book is Jane Eyre - so she making one of these - with their wedding date as the folded bit. How fabulously thoughtful is that? Of course, I also now know that there is a new business opportunity for me with all my worthless old rejects. Fold, fold, fold - make adorable - that'll be £30 please! Now if only I were arty - I'd be onto something :
