As a daughter of an author, I grew up with an appreciation for books. In an age of tablets and smartphones, more and more books are taken to landfills. I wanted to find a way to give these discarded books a longer shelf life. That is when I discovered the art of book folding. By using different techniques, I transform the book pages, creating images, words, and logos into hand-crafted custom art, all the while, telling a story. The tools needed are a ruler, pencil, and a small pair of scissors. It also takes patience, accuracy, precision, and time to execute the intricacy of this art form. It is a great way to upcycle and give new life to used books
