The USPS used to auction off boxes full of old books years ago; not sure how they ended up with them, but we got lots of neat stuff at a couple of their auctions. Thanks for sharing these! New to your blog, but love it!stellalunahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17493541915695097581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7256701150345340217.post-72824907282429643842012-06-28T12:18:19.996-07:002012-06-28T12:18:19.996-07:00Gorgeous projects!

I have been looking for a table runner, and would love to do this too, but I have two cats that just love to ruin paper projects. <br />I found my first paper quilling project shredded, and they found my paper quills for a project, and I found them spread around my living room. <br />Would just love to have your book. <br />teddie_grams@hotmail.comTeddie Seeleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04775179516817822852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7256701150345340217.post-8556323890097576662012-06-24T21:04:21.138-07:002012-06-24T21:04:21.138-07:00For years I couldn't bring myself to cut up or...For years I couldn't bring myself to cut up or alter a book but once I finally did a whole new world opened up.

ANY PAPER. I found a piece of paper on the road once that had probably been run over a kazillion times. The texture was amazing. I took it home and spray painted it silver and made it look like rusted metal. I used parts of it in a shadow box display for my husband's Fallout stuff. The only thing I've done with old books so far is to cut out the inside of one about UFOs to use as a secret hiding place. One of these days, I plan to wrap the entire story of Edgar Allen Poe's "The Raven" around a tall lamp. I'll have pics for sure. ;)Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08804343741678280754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7256701150345340217.post-30790255648688353282012-06-24T16:24:09.960-07:002012-06-24T16:24:09.960-07:00Amazing projects!

I have found that children's books are great because they are generally safe- you don't have to worry about what is printed on the page. ;)<br />http://inkyscrapper.blogspot.comHaley D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04461831597066228970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7256701150345340217.post-67597108280801499702012-06-24T15:27:05.984-07:002012-06-24T15:27:05.984-07:00Oh,my these people are so talented.
