It's Craft Time! - Paper Book Vase Part Deux

Remember my post about my lumpy paper vase made from an old book? I just couldn't get mine to come out anywhere near as pretty as Sweet Paul's inspirational pieces (how did he do that?). After my brother said mine looked good, I decided to embrace it and rejoice in it's clean, modern lines. A traditional vase (even if it was paper) wouldn't look as good in my place anyway.


I completed two more to keep the original one company. Remember the rule, decorate in odd numbers! They aren't perfect and I can't keep the tall one glued together in back  (I'll just put that side facing the wall), but I think they turned out like, well, contemporary sculptural pieces of art! Yes, I'm calling my craft project Art. 

Linking up to several blog parties. Be sure to check out the listing here.
