"Old books carry a history, not only the story written on the pages. Dog-ears, stains, a dedication on the flyleaf, a doodle in the margin..."
-Cecilia Levy

Today's artist, Cecilia Levy, creates all of her work out of old book pages and glue--nothing else! Her work is beautiful in a very subtle, very unexpected way, and of course I'm drawn to it because of my complete love of books, paper, and all things unique + different ;)

Some of my favorites are below:

Calming and serene, isn't it?

You can view more of Levy's fantastic "Paper Art" on her website.

Namaste!

La la love this! Have you seen this craft book by Lisa Occhipinti: The Repurposed Library: 33 Crafts That Give Old Books New Life. Amazing stuff than even the budding artist could create. I hate to part with a book of any kind.
