The Land of the Living

Recently, I've been looking at Cyber Monday sales, modern art, and WWI literature. Modcloth- that lovely store I'm want to talk about- is having a 20% off sale. My local art museum has a new mid-century to early 2000s modern furniture exhibit. And, lastly, the poem "Dulce Et Decorum Est" is running through my head, mainly the Latin. World War I changed literature dramatically, and this line certainly helped things along: the idea that "dulce et decorum est pro patria mori" isn't true at all.

A Sneak Peek

Though my book sculpture is not entirely finished, I did feel as though a bit of a peek was necessary. I snapped a few pictures just for fun, and though you lovely readers might enjoy them. Keep in mind that this is not the finished product!

With ever so much love,
the eclectic authoress

It Just Feels Wrong

I've recently been introduced to a new form of art: book sculpture! There are thousands of pictures and tutorials available (easily accessible via Google!), and I'm finding them to be quite beautiful. Books are, as a whole, one of my favorite things. Here are a few I'm quite enthralled with, all credits to their creators:

I'm also currently making my own, though it's nowhere near as complex as Alice in Wonderland. I'm using a short story collection of F. Scott. Fitzgerald's. Hint: my theme goes along with "The Diamond as Big as the Ritz". Really an incredible story- it feels almost sinful folding and tearing it!
