Discarded books can be remade into works of art. Though we like that “Linda Reese of Penfield used buttons, rubber stamps and stuck twigs on the outside spine to change the composition of a discarded book about handcrafts,” the bit that sounded the most interesting and fun was this:

“There’s even an encyclopedia on insects with the corners of its pages cut to look as if they were actually chewed by bugs.”

Cool.

It’s unfortunate there aren’t more pictures with the article. But, it is a rather neat idea to coordinate the content of the book with the modifications done to it to make it into a unique art piece.
