Carved Books

Novel Art Recycling

Recycling books you are finished with is a noble thing to do. Most people bundle up their unwanted books and donate them to a charity organization for re-sale so that someone else can enjoy the storytelling as well.

These amazing creations give second tier enjoyment of books a whole new meaning. Here, the books have been refashioned into artistic creations, each telling a very different story than the author intended.

The intricate detail in these painstakingly created pieces is incredible! I can’t imagine how long they would each take to create. It’s clearly not a pursuit to be undertaken by the impatient though.
