The Old Lady loves books and treats them with respect, cringing when she finds where careless readers have dogeared pages.
So it seemed odd that she would be drawn to a display of books that have been carved in various ways.
Dana Durwin is the clever book carver. Her daddy taught her how to use a scroll saw and “with a lot of time and patience” (she laughed) she developed her techniques for transforming old hardcovers into works of art.
Her A New Chapter Art collection includes books carved into letters of the alphabet and animal shapes as well as books with images carved inside them that correspond thematically with the title of the book.
What charming decorative items for a booklover’s bookshelf!
