Su Blackwell has done a series of book-cut sculptures, slicing the pages of old books and bending, folding, and gluing them to create miniature scenes on the surfaces of the books themselves.  Su says:

As I become more involved in the making, I feel like I am creating small stage sets, inhabited by characters caught up in their own magical, whimsical and sometimes haunting journeys.

They are all very beautiful, and the flights of birds are particularly impressive, but the bibliophile in me says, "But you've ruined the books." Oh well.
