Book carvings

I learned about book carving by watching the inspiring TED talk Old books reborn as intricate art by Brian Dettmer.

Drawing, painting, and collage add material; book carving, like sculpture, removes it. I was very curious about the process, so I tried, and here are my first book carvings.
