I LOVE YOU
This Little Book Sculpture is adorable! It is the American “I Love You” in ASL, but it has become so popularly used by the International Deaf Community worldwide.
It was inspired by a customer who is deaf and who found me at The Finders Keepers Market in Melbourne. She saw a little hand that I had carved out of a Famous Five Book called Helping Hand and immediately said…”but could you do…?” and so I drove back to Sydney and gave it a go! and the answer was a resounding YES!
Carved from 238 pages of a Danielle Steel novel called Beautiful by request as her favourite romance author.
All the information of the book it was carved from is on the base so that its’ history is always kept with it.
(The cloche measures 6.7cm in diameter and is 10.5cm tall.) Note. I managed to carve 4 hands out of the one book. The singular one in the photo is sold, but the other 3 are ready to be loved and are similar except for the wording on the pages of course! If you prefer one over another just let me know in the message section!
When I make the Secret Vintage Booksafes I try not to waste any of the paper i carve out and re-use it to make these endearing three dimensional book sculptures for the bookish amongst us. They are a delightfully dimensional addition to bookshelves and mantles and great gifts for the book lovers.
