Many people, other than the authors, contribute to the making of a book, from the first person who had the bright idea of alphabetic writing through the inventor of movable type to the lumberjacks who felled the trees that were pulped for its printing. It is not customary to acknowledge the trees themselves, though their commitment is total. ~Forsyth and Rada, Machine Learning { t h i s s c u l p t u r e } was made from books that would have otherwise been thrown away, no longer enjoyed. But look! They can have a second life...as something utterly captivating. When you hang this art installation in your home...people will gravitate towards it. Is it fabric? Is it water? Woodland mushrooms? What IS it? They'll want to touch it, to make sure it is real. No one has ever seen anything like it. Whats that I see? Pride and Prejudice? Is that a handwritten note on a page? Its the most amazing thing to look at from afar as well as up close. This custom order piece was roughly 6 feet high x 5 feet wide x average 6.5 inches depth and was created for a specific place in the client's law office in Georgia. The client requested that the sculpture be made of law books! You may send me the dimensions you would prefer. Although the buyer allowed the artistic process to direct the shape and flow, you are welcome to direct otherwise (i.e. if you don't want it pointing at the end, you want more protrusions, etc). I can use your old books or look for specific titles as well. Each piece is one-of-a-kind. I cannot express to you the size of this sculpture, it was huge! And so so cool not only because it is unique but because of its size! It was wonderful to watch this piece continue to grow and expand and take on its own shape, its own personality. When I step back now that it is completed... I am completely bewildered on how it all happened. And of course fun and hilarity was had using law books and law etiquette books made this project delightful. Right before my very eyes....this art installation was born. nickliovich Featured In: http://www.ruemag.com/home-tour-2/an-eclectic-greystone-in-chicago http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/fashionable-new-york-style-collides-with-traditional-chicago-architecture-in-a-couples-dreamy-forever-home-238873?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=managed#comment-form Copyright 2012.

Situationen, in denen wir unseren Kleinkindern nichts recht machen können, gibt es viele. In solchen Momenten spüren wir manchmal eine Distanz, die da vorher nicht war. Sie belastet uns und fühlt sich richtig fremd an. Wir Eltern sind für die Qualität unserer Beziehung verantwortlich, nicht das Kind. Aber der Anspruch, jeden Wunsch erfüllen zu können, ist illusorisch.

Starting over with a new beginning is always difficult. Check out my story and how upcycling projects helped me see things in a new light.

I was so happy on Friday to notice, as I was paging through my Blogger Reading list, that my Folded books had been featured on Oh Joy!My Book Art collection has grown substantially since I took that pic, so I thought I would update you...I did promise to do a tut on these some time. So I must put this closer to the top of my to-do list! I can really recommend these book creations as great coffee table items. My guests are always intrigued. They engender great conversation - What are these, Did you make them, How did you make them - You use no glue or pins? Have a look at my Flickr for some more pics and watch out for the tut sometime soon!
