I was lucky enough to scoop up a full pristine collection of "I Want to Know About" children's encyclopedias 1955 edition. The illustrations are just fantastic and they couldn't stay bound up forever. So I carefully ripped a few out and framed them. The frames were from Big W (white border matting included) only $5 - cheaper and nicer than the ones I nearly got from Ikea :) I love a good find!

Aha! I saw these in the background of one of your quilt photos and was trying to work out what they were. They look fantastic! I don't know if I could bring myself to pull pages out of a book though.
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous. Such a great idea.
