So this is an idea I saw on etsy, and decided to make one of my own. I chose The Silver Chair cause it's my favorite of the Narnia books. This is basically finished. I may add some more pages in the back to make it thicker, and then it will go in a shadowbox. (Sorry about the glare on the close-up pictures.)

Lovely! I wish I had the patience to do something like that!

I don't think there could be any other word to fit this but---WOW!
Shi, that is amazingly beautiful and certainly looks like you spent a great deal of time putting it together!
About how tall is it?

Thanks Albero

Thank you Ella! It didn't take too long. Most of the process of cutting and ripping I did at a few different times (I bought two books specifically for this purpose) and when I sat down to put it together it took me a few hours. It's about 7 1/2 inches tall. (As tall as the books was.)

*gasp* Love!!

Thanks Ariel!

I'm sure it would have taken me much longer than a few hours to create something like that. So I applaud you for that. Anyway, it truly is a great piece of art but as beautiful as it is I don't think I would be able to cut up any of my books to try to do something similar...

Thanks.
Haha my sister was kind of upset (not seriously, but you know) watching me tear it apart. But I bought them specifically for that reason, so I didn't actually take a book I had and do that.

Oh, and I had put it together once before (without glueing or anything), and had taken a picture, so I used that as a guide when I actually went to stick everything together. (I used glue and some little pop-out adhesive things.)

@Shi: I would have been right there with your sister on that. But the result is so cool, I don't think I can really complain.

yeah
