Wow...those are incredible. I just gotta wonder, though, how or when one gets the idea to do something like that. One day, they suddenly say, 'You know what? I have all these books just sitting around. I think I'll make them into sculptures!' I wonder how long it took to work up the skill to carve such detail into the pages. What planning those things must take! The reader in me is appalled to see old books used like that, but the artist in me is fascinated.
