Look! Book Art with Binder Clips

050108_bookhang.jpgOne of our favorite children's books is Ezra Jack Keats' The Snowy Day, and a huge part of it is the awesome cut-paper illustrations. While we've contemplated getting some of the drawings blown up and framed, here's another solution to displaying book art (as long as the book itself is thin!): Hang binder clips on the wall, and clip the book open on the top and bottom.

Ha! Whoops, sorry, the book I happen to love is Ezra Keats' The Snowy Day (although Jennie's Hat is quite good too).

unrelated - but thanks for posting the stockholm easy chair in action; i have one with that cover (half off for a measly little chip in the back leg!!) and it's GORGEOUS with that blue wall!

I've been looking for a blue like that for my walls. Any color suggestions?

Ugg... once again - violence against books. Why is it so difficult to just appreciate a book for what it is? Part of the fun is being able to open it up and flip through the pages, the sequence, the illustrations.
