art from upcycled books
******** ALL ART BUY 2 GET 1 FREE!!!********
Did you know that books are thrown away by libraries, donation centers, schools and people everyday? While they may no longer be in the best reading condition anymore - the weathered book pages make an excellent medium for our art.
Book Page Art is handmade and created directly on upcycled book pages of old, discarded and rescued books.
We love to give books new life by creating original art on weathered old book pages.
No two pieces are alike.
Q: What page will my art be on?
We match our artwork and quotes to the books that correlate. We take special care that art work represents the book that the pages are from.
Q: Is the example page I see on the listing the same page I will receive?
The book page that the art is on will vary from the pages shown in photos.
We use all pages possible from each book to create our art. Each page is different and unique. Art is done directly on the book pages of upcycled books, not photo copied.
Q: Can I request a Specific page or passage from a book?
**************CUSTOM PAGES AND COMMISSIONS ARE CURRENTLY CLOSED***************
This is called a custom order. (please see custom order below)
If you would like a specific page please contact us to see if we have it available.
Q: What Size is the Book Page Art?
Because books vary in size so does the art. We mount each page onto a black mat backing that is 8X10. So it fits perfectly into an 8x10 frame.
Each art page is mounted to its backing with an acid free removable adhesive and can be removed if you would like to frame or display it in another way.
Q: How will I receive my BookPageArt?
All art is shipped in a protective casing with a sturdy cardboard mat to protect it from bending in the mail. In the unlikely event that your art is damaged in the shipping process Please send us an email with the subject line “Damaged Order # ______” and put your order # in the subject line so we can help. Please attach photos of the damaged shipment.
Q: Do you take requests?
Yes, we are happy to receive suggestions of books to add to the current art library.
Requests will go onto a list of books that people would like to see made into BookPageArt. The more people that request certain titles the higher priority they become.
Q: Do you do Custom Orders?

Q: How is Book Page Art made?
