As I was browsing in Anthropologie one day, I was drawn to the display they had set up featuring Playing With Books by Jason Thompson. Intrigued but not fully convinced, I flipped through the pages of the book while a salesperson watched me from nearby. I didn’t buy the book (or anything else for that matter), but I did go home thinking about it. Thankfully, my local library branch had a copy because I needed to look at these book art projects more closely without someone watching me while I did it.

And if I ever actually try to make something out of a book I’ll be sure to blog about it so we can all make fun of my attempt at crafting together.
