Defacing a book


It is either strangely appropriate or incredibly WRONG that I am cutting a book in half on the eve of beginning a bookbinding course. Weight and space being of utmost importance, I decided that there is no point in carrying on the last half of "Pillars of the Earth". Bought a used copy at the Farmers Market this morning. I am almost finished "Eat, Pray, Love" so will need something to read while traveling.


Back to packing (and hacking at a perfectly good book). More from Italy! :-) Oh, for those of you that don't know: I'm off to do a semester in Florence at the SRISA (google it) in book arts, Italian and other art courses. Breathe.....
Note: Gorgeous journal cover handmade by mon amie Nicole. xo

PS. Both halves got left behind due to space issues!
