When I read about Seth Apters latest collaboration idea I loved it!I have tons of books….both ones I’ve created and vintage ones.
Of course, being the procrastinator that I am…I didn’t even start to gather anything until about 25 minutes ago. Boy, was I in for a surprise… I had way more books that I ever realized.
My stack on the coffee table had to be moved to the buffet where I could use the wall to prop them up!
My book arts stack is very colorful…and fluffy.
I tend to make books that don’t have a chance of
ever laying flat.
They must sit splayed open inviting a passerby to pick it up.
The edges of altered board books are probably my favorite.
With the ripped papers hanging slightly over and the different colors of paint grazed
across the edge by happenstance.
I also use stacks of books in decorating my house. This stack currently sits on the mantle.
As a little lift for a plant to get it some much needed sun.
For some height on a shelf.
And lastly the set of books
I refuse to stack.
I refuse to stack.
They are the first thing you see when walking into my house.
I have my Grandpa’s medical books and his Norwegian Seminary book, my dad’s Bible plus some poetry books from the 1800’s.
Thanks for stopping by today.
Now I must set my house back to rights…geesh…what a mess I made.
