Bookboard Surprise
When you work mainly with recycled materials like I do, once in a while you find a little surprise. For my map/travel journals, I recycle bookboard from unwanted books for the covers. Sometimes I pick up a few covers at my local ArtsJunktion, a place to pick up some great supplies for free! They have stacks of book covers with the insides already removed, like these:
After I cut off the spine and peeled off the bookcloth, look what I found:
My guess is that the person who made that navy bookcloth was a recycler too, and used some advertising posters as the backing. Isn't that hilarious?
That's quite a surprise! Even funnier that it's for laxative, I'm sure that brightened your day!
ReplyDeleteYes, it did! I wonder if the person making the bookcloth ever thought that they would be found out?
Deleteit's very moving!
ReplyDeleteOMG! That is so exciting. And what a great story to tell about how the book you were making has now been upcycled TWICE! Fantastic! :D
ReplyDeleteI still think it's fantastic! Can't wait to find more surprises!
