Despite recently abusing a paperback book to make a 3D tree,
as a book lover and hoarder, I'm still not entirely sure what to think about cannibalising
books for crafty, artistic purposes. Even
though I used a battered, thrift-store,crime thriller that I’d read in the
tent on our summer trip without worrying about damaging it, I felt guilty. I simply
hadn’t been able to throw the book away and because it was too tatty to donate,
I decided to turn it into a folded, paper Christmas tree. Although it’s unfinished, it looks effective and
yet I remain feeling discomforted!
