For years I have been interested in the art of turning old books into sculpture by making exact repetitive folds in the pages. The examples I have seen are truly spectacular - little works of art. Mary Engelbreit's Home Companion had an article full of beautiful examples of book sculpture along with some basic instructions. If there was a link, I'd share it, but no such luck!Someday when my library has a book sale, I will try to find an old copy of Nancy Drew and make one for myself. Yesterday, for the first time, I saw some of these sculptures for sale...price tag $500 each.

In kindergarten we made a turkey out of folded, spray-painted editions of Readers Digest. I loved that thing, no matter how much glittery junk it left on the Thanksgiving table. Thanks for reminding me of an early love. It's always fun reading your blog.
