In this day of the Nook, the Kindle, and the Iphone – books are feeling threatened.
(not in our house though. But I’ve heard about it!)
This week the challenge is to do something with a book.
You could just hollow one out to keep special secret things in it.
Or you could go for ART.

Here is some clever folding
That is Marcy from Recycled Reads
How about a slice of Book cake?
By Artist Robert The, actually, showing at the Walker, for you Minneapolians.
Now, let it be said that part of this challenge breaks my heart. I love books. And cutting into one seems like a sacralegde. But, I do have one, and I enjoyed it, and I tried to sell it so that someone else could enjoy it too, and I was told that the store would not take it. They have given up on hard bound books almost entirely. (and this is no great work of fiction… not a collector’s item by any stretch.) So I feel safe to use that.
Have fun. I cannot see what you come up with.
