5 out of 5 starsThis is too cute! Perfectly made and perfectly packaged! Such a unique design. Love all the individual pieces and how they can be rearranged to suit. 😄😄😄

5 out of 5 starsThere was a mishap with a few books separating in the shipping. I should be able to fix it.

5 out of 5 starsMalena Varcarcel's art is amazing and I loved being able to add dressed for business to my collection,it looks so good in the cloche. In the cloche they are also sage and protected. Although I dont have animals or small children in my home. Her work is magical and it's a complete mystery to me. It's also precise and perfect in every way. Thank you for the careful shipping and excellent service
Forever you fan, Shar -

5 out of 5 starsThis little owl is delightful. It's so detailed and carefully crafted. I combined it with another piece from Malena's shop (review below) and am so happy with how they look together.

5 out of 5 starsI am delighted with this piece--it is so charming and whimsical. I overlooked the note in the description that the books are all free standing and can be rearranged, and the detail in each one is exquisite. I combined this with the owl I purchased at the same time and love how they look together. The shipping was pretty quick, given the number of delays there are at the moment. (The tracking information is a little hard to use--it showed the package as being accepted right away, but then there were no other updates, even now after the package was delivered. I was starting to worry it had gotten lost in transit, but all was fine.)

Working on some "Trees of Knowledge"
I transform books into a new story in a way to make people stop and appreciate, if just for a moment, the magic of books.
My name is Malena Valcárcel.
I live in Alicante - Spain, next to the beautiful and warm Mediterranean Sea. I was born in Tenerife – Canary Islands where I grew up without losing sight of the sea.
I love books and I have been an avid reader all my life.
I´m a paper artist and I tell my own stories using books as my canvases.
I create these sculptures from books that have been thrown away for one reason or another. Sometimes I rescue them from refuse bins, secondhand shops that can't move them, and even libraries that incinerate unwanted or damaged books to make room for new ones. In fact, I have developed such a reputation for repurposing books that friends bring me books they no longer want or need.
I give them new lives as beautiful, incredibly unique works of art.
I can be inspired by a book I read, or maybe a specific passage of that book can inspire me to create a Book Sculpture.
My art allows you to look at books in an entirely new light and may even inspire more visually-inclined people to start reading again.
Of course it would be wonderful if more books stayed on people's shelves rather than landing in refuse bins. But for the ones that do, I transform them into a new story in a way to make people stop and appreciate, if just for a moment, the magic of books.
Please, enjoy.
