Book Art Is Awesome: Folded Edition

If you dig some sacrilege with your books, check out these amazing artists who are going way beyond the dog-ear with their folded book art.

I don’t hold books sacred. My shelves are a sea of dog-eared pages, top AND bottom. Those top dog-ears note where I am, of course, and the bottom folds highlight pages I want to go back to. When I’m really jiving with a book, I’ll even pull out the double-fold dog-ear for those passages that just get me. Now, if the thought of all those dog-eared pages made you shudder, don’t go further. If you dig some sacrilege with your books, however, keep on. There are amazing artists out there who are going way beyond the dog-ear with their folded book art. Note: Support your book artists! When I could find them, I’ve included buy links. All images are from the artist websites linked to before each collection.  Rachael Ashe (Buy) Book art from Rachael Ashe's "Altered Books: Owls" collection Book art from Rachael Ashe's "Altered Books: Owls" collection Book art from Rachael Ashe's "Altered Books: Owls" collection   Pam Langdon Folded book art by Pam Langdon Folded book art by Pam Langdon Folded book art by Pam Langdon   Claire Ranson (Buy)  Folded book art by Claire Ranson Folded book art by Claire Ranson Folded book art by Claire Ranson   There’s also loads of book artists on Etsy who are selling their pieces of art or templates for you to learn the craft.
