I love the word “read” also. And I love what some creative artist did with that old. book. I’ve seen similar creations. This past weekend I suggested to an artist friend that she pick up some “material” at a local used book sale to use in her planned collages. Me? I brought home an entire bag to books for myself, my mom, the Little Free Library in my hometown and for a young girl I am mentoring in poetry.
i did not know you took the picture but I recognized it right away. It was made by my friend, Paulette who is such a great artist and makes all kinds of artistic articles. She is the one that taught me how to do “Irish” folding and now I am addicted to it.
This reminds me of a project we made out of my granddad’s Reader’s Digests. They weren’t nearly as elaborate, all pages folded the same way, the covers glued together to form a circle, then they were spray painted gold and hung. Someone put a lot of effort into this.

Thanks, Hilary!
Wow – that is absolutely mind boggling. Someone used their paper folding talents to amaze us!
It is pretty coo, isn’t it? I think a resident at Copeland Oaks (retirement community) did it but I thought it was amazing!!! Thanks for stopping by!
That was the word that came to my mind….WOW! The creative mind knows no limits. Thanks for the ‘share’……hugs, D
Don’t you love it??? I thought it was so neat!

Of course you did!!! I can see the bag brimming to the top!!!
I wasn’t originally planning to purchase this many books. But they had a “bag sale” and I had to fill the bag.
So, how cool is that?
I thought it was pretty cool. Someone with a lot more talent than me!
What a great eye catching visual!
It definitely caught my eye!
That is simply amazing! Love it.
THanks, Susi! I just happened to see it when I was at the library with my mom the last time—I don’t think she even knew I took a pic of it!
HI BethAnn, I wonder how long it took them to do this awesome art! Interesting piece.
I don’t know! I should have asked my mom some questions about it—I imagine she will read this later today and let me know about it!
I hope she reads this later! Have a wonderful and colorful day Beth Ann! http://www.segmation.com
very cool. Would like to see how they did that.
I know!!! I can not even begin to think how to do that. I need to do some research…..hey—I bet I could ask my mom since it was her library!!! 🙂

OH okay!!! I did not make the connection that she was the one who taught you the Iris folding technique. I thought it was pretty neat!
