Books: Repurposed and Recycled

Creativity for repurposed books strikes again. Daniel Lai with Kenjio has been playing and experimenting with folding book pages since he was a kid in school, and lucky for us he did!





This piece below would be great in a meditation space if you happen to have one. I think the figure is quite calm and confident in his pose.





A big blog hug to Ann Martin at All Things Paper who shared her recent discovery of Daniel's work - you'll definitely want to visit and check out some of her great tutorials.

Late addition: That Clever Clementine also led me to more book works of art in Scotland. Enjoy!

Until next time...
Mike

    I don't know if you've seen these amazing paper sculptures that have been popping up around Edinburgh? It's worth taking a minute or two to peek at this site: http://community.thisiscentralstation.com/_Mysterious-paper-sculptures/blog/4991767/126249.html

    I've seen some wonderful sculptures made from book pages, but these are truly unique. Thanks for sharing.

    That Clever Clementine - no, I hadn't seen those and thanks for the link. It was worth the time so I made a sub-note to the blog post. Thanks!

I'm listening! And responding - so let's create some buzz together for recycled and repurposed arts and crafts.
