Books in Denmark. . . . . . . .

Last year I found intricately folded books tucked into displays in several antiques shops 

around North Carolina. I took some time to look at how they were fashioned, photographed 

some, then came home and made a couple of my own.  It was fun and not too difficult, 

click HERE for directions - I used inexpensive vintage hardcover books from the used 

book store.

Above is a very simple folding job - my first ever and something even 
children might enjoy creating.

The reason for another post on folding are the following books. In June, I found 
these amazing creations displayed in the window of a small gallery in a 
Copenhagen, Denmark side street as we were strolling off the main 
thoroughfares during our day in the lovely city.

I think you will agree that this artist has brought paper folding to another 

level with these folded books - I think they are truly awesome.

The one above is my personal favorite and I think I will have to try 

my hand at creating something similar.

I photographed these through the window. I like the idea of framing folded books 

and hanging them on the wall for a three dimensional piece of art.

My folded books and vintage books.
