I really like how Jeremy is using the originating book as display/storage. The actual jewelry designs are ok, but I do love it when books are used in any form of art. I get what Ronna is saying about that twinge (which is probably why I have never "destroyed" a book like that), but I also really love old books, and I think that if someone isn't gonna read it, it should be "used" in any way possible. Heh... old books are awesome. Sweet idea! I really like how Jeremy is using the originating book as display/storage.

What is it about books that it seems like they maybe have a little soul ... or something? On the other hand, I recently saw a museum exhibit of books transformed into other art and it blew me away. If you see an exhibit at a local museum or gallery, go. You'll love it. I love May’s jewelry, and at the same time always feel a little twinge when a book is repurposed.
