Book Art You've seen book art like this before, I'm sure. I love it! Etsy had a shop featured today with tons of prints for sale that I absolutely thought were so fun. If I could, I would buy these and cover my walls with them: As I was drooling, I realized that we could make these in like, five seconds! If you don't already have an old book to use, check out a yard sale or thrift store for a large dictionary or something like that.

Oh, how happy they make me! I'm planning to cover the walls with different photos of that lovely, maritime nature. I really love the bold look of frame-covered walls!
