Artist creates incredible pieces of art from old books

I have a new book to review shortly but in the meanwhile I wanted to share something very cool. Su Blackwell, an artist in London, England, takes second hand books that have been sitting on the shelf for years and turns them into paper models. She waits to be inspired by the books themselves, and I think that her model from Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking Glass is just amazing. And according to the article, she never cuts up first editions or rare books.

Check out the Telegraph.co.uk website for the full article and a pictures of her work.
