Old Books Repurposed Into Paper Cups And Saucers By Cecilia Levy

Cecilia Levy has found a novel use for old books and comics. Instead of throwing them out, the Swedish artist transforms them into beautiful works of paper art.

Novel way .. with books! Brilliant!

Also great art

she's an artiste!! She is also using wet paper techniques to get those organic shapes. Something I push much on this forum. If people were willing to paint their models instead of counting on the printed graphics, a more realistic object could be made, certainly a more rare. Of course that then gets into one off models, which can be duplicated, but it would take more work.

Good point Zathros, for me the printed versions help to keep costs down

Printed version also take a lot of the hassle, and with printed ones, like Revelle-Fan's Viper, gives you the whole package in one file.
