Vintage centrepieces

These vintage books have been used to display table numbers for a wedding setting. The romantic titles in bright colours have the striped numbers placed on them in tape. A great DIY project for any booklover wanting to number tables for a themed event, and placed on a stack of similar volumes they make a great alternative as a centrepiece to flowers.

Space fuels imagination

Oskar was looking through his I Spy Fantasy book that I have posted about finding before and wanted to build a scene like this one.

It is a space scene, made of kitchen items. So, I took a range of stainless steel saucepans and utensils out from the cupboards and he started to recreate it. I love how books fuel imagination.

Sculpted book jewellery

These rings, made from books, are by artist Betty Pepper. I love how the rings fit back into the pages of the book. She has other, more intricate works in her series called book keeping, but these sculpture-like ones are my favourite.

In a previous post I also featured jewellery made from books, by artist Liz Hamman, and I have since found another beautiful image of one of her pieces, somewhat similar in simplicity to the rings above.

As you probably know from a range of posts, I am a fan of Ladybird books, so the fact that this bangle is from the Ladybird book "Goldilock and the three bears" is a bonus.
