The thought of chopping up a book can make some of us booklovers break out in a cold sweat of book-massacring horror, but as ever a crafty artist comes along who helps change your mind.
These Dissected Books are the work of Julia Strand, a Minnesota-dwelling artist, who uses "knives, rotary cutters, tweezers, rulers, custom cut panes of glass, and lots of glue" to create her awe-inspiring chopped up book masterpieces.
Julia also has an Etsy shop where lucky folks can get their paws on one of their own.
Upcycling brilliance with a new life for old books.
