Just a quick note here about a home decorating item that writers might be interested in: Gartenkulter‘s book pots for plants. These are old hardcover books that have had their center removed and placed with a sealant that allows the book itself to serve as a pot for growing a plant at home.
Writers seem to have mixed feelings about this product. On the one hand, we love books and the idea of using them in home design isn’t new to many of us. Plus there’s a link between the growth that you get from books and the growing of a live plant. However, some writers hold books so dear that they don’t want to see them altered or defaced in this way.
I’m an altered book fan myself. I think books are great but I don’t think that they’re sacred. In fact, I think that writing in them and altering them and turning them into pots are all terrific ideas.
What do you think?
