Recycling the covers of ex-library books

I have written about
paper created with the pages from ex-library books,
but I haven't talked much about what I do with the covers.
Depending on the condition and size, I usually strip the boards.
I cut the boards and rebind them.
After binding them I paint them.
Touch: I am interested in the textures and feel of these books.
These covers are being prepared for an upcoming exhibition at a local bookstore this summer.

| Red book created from covers of ex-library books |
Created from ex-library books, each will contain an original story in the form of a poem with linocuts/illustrations.
This is a detail photo of the cover of the Red book.
There are about 10 more steps before each book is complete. I will post them before the opening of the show.
