{dee.i.y} vintage book cover art


i'm pretty much a total sucker for art that is combined with text somehow. 
so when i found this old school atlas (i think i vaguely remember these...you young'uns won't have a clue! heh~) i knew straight away that i was going to tear the cover off, paint our flag over the front cover and use it as wall art.
and i did.
and i love it!


so go ahead, find a musty old book, tear off the worn cover and paint over it for wall art. 
(some colourful,geometric art would look pretty ace i reckon)
and show me if you do!

PS i might do a lil outfit post and introduce #5 / 20-week tummy to you tomorrow.
