Upcycled Book Art

Here is how I started. I have a ton of books. I love to read -- thanks to digital I know have thousands in one device. What to do with all of those old books--this is my first idea. I covered old canvas paintings I had stored (I didn't really like the painting I did on them). I used Acrylic medium and "glued" the strips over the surface of the canvas -- including the sides.

After they dried. I did two coats of clear gesso.

Now only my imagination and some paint can lead me to the final product.
More to come..........
