I suddenly feel the urge to cut up a bunch of old books… PERFECTLY. Sigh. Original bits of maps, landscapes, comic books, and vintage ladies cut into triangles, circles, diamonds, and hexagons. So simple, but oh, so striking… this is the lovely collage work of UK Artist Amelia Coward.

Wow love these, particularly the first one. So beautiful.
Oh beautiful! I have a bunch of old books with maps and photos of plants and mountains. I use them to make birthday cards for my friends and this is great inspiration!
I love this! I use old books, magazines, and maps in my work, but sometimes I have a fear of commitment to cut them up because it’s “one and done.” This is an inspiration!
that’s exactly what i was thinking desiree… true commitment to the ‘cut’! ; )
There is real therapy making a whole new life for the old books. Don’t be scared!!
