Pretty Pages.
Lisa Occhipinti is a New England-based artist and designer, with a beautiful series of book arts, specifically these fabulous book mobiles. The book mobiles have garnered much attention, leading Lisa to be included in a soon-to-be-published book on them, and other book crafts, with Stewart, Tabori and Chang.
Lisa's beautiful book mobiles are made from old, unwanted books and feature a swag of curled pages set within their covers. Each one is individually made, and currently they are available at her etsy shop, The Shop House. For more incredibly re-purposed book art, check out Lisa's shop!

I love this concept. I love books and what better way to show your affection than with these unique items? also, recycling is good:)
so pretty!
my mom always got mad when I did this to my books in grade school. :)
Oooooh, the rebellious ex-librarian in me is squealing with delight.
so in love with these - don't they remind you of the window displays in anthropologie in downtown sf a couple months ago?
yes! i remember making similar books in grade school!
natalie - yes! exactly! i loved those too and had taken some photos of the store windows.
Oh, I love this! I want to learn how to this... I have soooo many books I need to get rid of but nobody wants them. (...And I don't like to throw things away, so I'd rather make something wonderful like these!)
Books are my favourite thing in life. These are amazing. Thank you for sharing.
Victoria, I love these! Thanks for sharing -- the artist is new to me.
I like it very much, thanks
