Friday Favorite: Louise Annable

3/18/2011

7 Comments

 
This Friday’s Feature artist is Louise Annable and more wonderfully repurposed cartography!

Louise lives in Reading, United Kingdom, and writes that her process:
…began as a way for me to recycle books that no one wanted – ones that suffered from unfortunate coffee stains on the pages or were just hopelessly out of date.  I make sure that I never use books that are rare or valuable.

I use these books to create unique and beautiful gifts and decorations, ranging from paper garlands to book handbags.  I love old combining illustrations, cheesy book covers, aged brown paper and beautiful fabrics.

I am always looking to innovate and to come up with new product ideas and designs.

TGIF!

This is a great way to recycle! The garlands and great and with my daughter's penchant for all things hanging I know she would love these in our house.
