Book Vases by Laura Cahill

After you're done making that table out of old magazines, how about a few vases out of some unwanted books?

That's what designer Laura Cahill has done using nothing more than a band saw, unwanted books, and a few test tubes.

Now, we generally prefer to loan unwanted books to friends, or donate them to a library; however, we actually think these vases are sweet -- they'd look great on a bookshelf or a mantel.

Of course, our cats (after eating the flowers in the vase) would surely rip the thing to shreds ....

Personal opinion? Extremely ugly.
There are MUCH nicer things to do with old books, and much nicer vases at Op Shops for a couple of dollars.
