Description

Offered for your consideration is the opportunity to secure your handmade, customized "book sculpture," made by me from Christian, motivational, inspirational-related books! As a published author myself, I understand the argument of repurposing books, but I find this medium a tribute; not anything otherwise. I purchased a large book collection from the historic McKenzie Church library in Clarksville, Texas several years ago, and much of the material is repurposed from that. The collectible, antique material has, for the most part, been liquidated. What I am doing with the remainder of this post-World War II (and a select number of pre-War) book collection is this type of sculpture. The way I like to have these commissioned is either have you, the buyer, suggest a book subject, according to the above-mentioned categories, or possibly a special date like a birthday, or anniversary, and I will make the sculpture based on that year, coinciding with the book's publication date. These are exceedingly difficult to ship; it can be done, but I prefer in-person pickup in Clarksville, Texas, if at all possible. If you choose to have shipped, please allow a couple of days for handling, so I can take proper care in packaging. $14.95 s/h for one, and additional actual shipping on multiple. I do not profit from shipping. I am longtime Paypal verified for ordering. I have a list of available book titles with dates. If you have a favorite word, i.e.- "love, faith, family, Jesus, Christmas, etc...," I will make every attempt to make that "word" visible throughout the sculpture. Please reserve, as these are garnering some interest, even though I don't consider myself an artist. Perfect Christmas gift for the Christian household! Thanks and all best! Direct message me. I respond quickly! Happy Autumn and Happy Holidays!
