Artist/writer Lisa Occhipinti's love for books has inspired her to reuse them in an artistic way.
Occhipinti gives old books new life by transforming them into beautiful works of art, manipulating the shapes of the pages, and turning them into beautiful wreaths. She also customizes books for everyday use, with one book having been transformed into a photo album.
Lisa Occhipinti's artwork is inspiring, beautiful and amazing to look at. She will be releasing a book with pictures of her work entitled 'The Repurposed Library' due out in Spring 2011.
