For these projects, Lisa Occhipinti rescues and repurposes orphaned and outdated books from flea markets and library sales and turns them into new art objects and practical items for the home. Her creations range from artfully constructed mobiles, wreaths, and vases, to functional items like shelves, storage boxes, and even a Kindle "keeper" for those who want to replicate the sensation of holding a "real" book while reading from an e-reader. Projects utilize every imaginable part of a book--from hardback cover to individual pages--and are a DIY celebration of a new way to view a book's potential.

I cannot imagine being so bored that I would choose to "repurpose" tattered old books into something else besides "firewood". Many of these projects are so flimsy that when they get dusty--and they will--you will destroy them trying to clean them. If you have tattered old books to get rid of, give me a call. We heat with wood.
