Items related to Eco Books: Inventive Projects from the Recycling Bin
Here are projects for the pages”: 40 innovative book-making ideas using recycled and green materials! More than just earth-friendly, they’re also beautiful, clever, and witty, stitched with traditional binding techniques. Egg cartons, wood, beer cans, and cassette tapes morph into covers, while brown bags, coffee filters, and discarded newspapers are transformed into pages. Create a boxed set of cereal box books, an exposed stitch sketchbook out of cardboard and remnants, and even a faux leather journal made from teabags.
In addition to how-to drawings, close-up detail photographs, and simple stitch diagrams, a gallery of eco-books from an international roster of artists provides inspiration.

About the Author:
TERRY TAYLOR is the author of 18 books published by Lark Books, including Altered Art, The Altered Object, Artful Paper Dolls, Button! Button!, and The Artful Storybook.
From Booklist:
With so much emphasis on preserving the environment, it follows that crafters want to do their part to help. This book, an amalgam of projects by different designers, presents imaginative variations on the art of bookmaking. After setting the tone with some alarming statistics about how much paper we waste, Taylor explains the tools needed to transform that paper trash into treasure. A scattering of thumbnail drawings visualizing some of the more detailed procedures accompany step-by-step guidelines, and an appendix clarifies basic information about sewing signatures and building a text block. Also appended are templates crafters can enlarge on a copy machine. The projects, which range from over the top to beautiful and practical, make use of everything from old books and maps to Styrofoam egg cartons, cassette tapes, and dental floss containers to create journals, notepads, sketchbooks, and more. This isn’t your run-of-the mill craft book, for sure, but that’s the attraction. --Stephanie Zvirin
