Kell Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 I saw these in the Craft Gossip and thought they were incredibly clever. First, there's a dress made out of a book (OK, so it's a coupon book, but I still thoght it was clever!) HERE. And you can see it being worn HERE. And then, there's this library reception desk made of books HERE. Then I remembered I had once seen something about books being turned into planters. Take a look HERE. Much as the idea of destroying a book or rendering it unreadable, I couldn't help thinking these were all pretty cool and wondered if anyone else had seen bokos used in an unusual way? I'd love to see them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easy Reader Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 I'm not so keen on using them as planters, they will get wet. I did see one of those home make over shows where they did themed bedrooms for the children and one of them had a library room with lots of library style shelves places to sit and read and a four poster bed where the posts were made of books and the steps to get into bed were made to look like books.

Echo Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 One of my favorite artists/photographers in the entire universe, Hilda Grahnat, makes these amazing book clocks. You can find them here. As soon as I can afford it, I'm definitely getting one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
