Cool Bookish Stuff

I come across a lot of neato stuff that I feel like I should have been sharing with you all along (bad blogger!). So now I'm going to. ^_^
It's a complete mish-mash I like to call Cool Bookish Stuff.
These posts will be completely sporadic, as I'll share them whenever I'm so full to bursting with cool bookish stuff that I simply must.
If you've seen something cool and bookish you want to see in an upcoming post, email me!

 Cool and bookish #1: Ball gown made out of Little Golden Books!
For realsies.  How incredible is that?  It was constructed entirely of used and discarded Little Golden books + pure genius by Ryan Novelline.  You can check out the entire process here - and trust me, you want to.  It's gasp-making.  I LOVE THE BACK!


Cool and Bookish #2: this a-maz-ing branch bookshelf!
Created by French designer Olivier Dolle for all of the quirky book freaks in the world.  Now, I would need an entire tree, it's true, but OH MAN, I want this!  Can you imagine having bookshelves like this in your room as a kid?

Cool Bookish Thing #3: DIY Chopstick Bookshelf:

You know, for if you can't afford a book branch, or just really like Chinese.  Talk about upcycling!

  6. LOVE the dress. It's so pretty. And cool. The creative process is incredible.

    I like the bookshelves, although I wonder if they really provide optimal shelf space. I'd need a forest.

  8. Yeah, that book branch is flippin' awesome. I see my dad's next wordworking project. =) After he finishes my end tables.

    I'm not so sure about the chopsticks... seems sticky and a little gross (being used and all).
