I like to use vintage paper on my art pages and hubby has given me 3 of his old math books. The top one was published in 1960! Their pages have that yellowish vintage tone and lots of formulas and diagrams. I really want to torn them apart, but I’m not brave enough to do it. I think they were only moved from one shelf to another one!
What would you do? Keep them intact or have fun with them?

That’s a hard one. I’d probably leave them intact.

It was a difficult decision, but at the end I ripped one of the pages, it felt good! 🙂

Better to use old books for art rather than throwing them away. 🙂

You are right! He knows I like to add vintage pages to my art! Maybe I’ll try a few pages this weekend!

A wonderful arrangement and selection of book colors … and the blue linen book cover is perfect for the flower. 🙂 Well done, Elizabeth!
