I saw this link from Sallie and couldn’t believe it. I’ve never seen anything like this.
Honestly, I don’t like it at all. There are so many people in the world who would love to read a book — and seeing people cut up books as “art” bothers me.
Plus — what do you DO with these weird papery creations? They’ll just gather dust. I know what FlyLady would say!
What do you think? I’m curious — do these people cut up books as a hobby, or is this a job? Who has time to do things like this? I’d rather read a book than cut one up as art — but that’s just me.
Have to say they look cool, in a Matrixy sort of way. But yeah, someone’s book. Hmm. Don’t know what I think of it overall, except that there’ll never be one in my house! Dust magnet it is!

I really liked some of them – most of them really. Some were amazing. I am so often amazed at the creativity of some artists.

OK … well, I admit the Alice in Wonderland tea party did look pretty amazing. I just can’t imagine how much TIME that took. (maybe these people have a maid and a live-in chef!)

I’m with you…I’d rather read the book. The book would have to be seriously damaged and throw-away-able before I’d destroy it into something like that.
