The pages are all trimmed in red. This would make a great paper wreath. I may have to make one. Our church is constructing a new building. Maybe a gift?
Double click the photo to get a better look at the text. It is really gorgeous. I just love it! I can't wait to create with this.
I also found a few vintage hat pins for just a few dollars. I'm so glad I stopped in this local store on my busy Saturday! These always come in handy. I hope you are having a great week. Drapes for the studio and living room go in on Thursday! I can't wait to show you the before and afters. A few little projects to share too. Ready to make something? Well, click follow and come on back by in a few days. Take care! Linking to -
Cool find as always you have the eye!
ReplyDeletewhat a precious find, i too love foreign text and that it is a Bible is extra special!
ReplyDeleteI love old Bibles. I have my grandmother's, grandfather's, and my great-grandmother's. They're very fragile, but I couldn't do anything like this with them. Too much sentimental value :-) I'm looking forward to seeing what you create.

I love deconstructing books but I still cannot do it to religious ones, no matter how gorgeous..I guess my Grandma put the fear of that in me when I once wanted to donate some old bibles. Her screech at me about never letting a bible leave my possession, or I think the wrath of the ages would descend... Anyone else ever have/heard that happen..or am I just wacko? lol

I collect old Bibles, so this one had me at hello. You're right that would make a great wreath with the pages trimmed in red.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful treasure you found ! !
ReplyDeleteThe text is beautiful, and so are the red-tinged outer pages. Can't wait to see what you do!
