Book-Lover Turns Her Massive Library Into Art, And Her 140k Instagram Followers Approve

ADVERTISEMENT

Some people like to read art books, others enjoy making art from books.

'Bookstagrammer' Elizabeth Sagan has been sharing her love for books with her 90k followers for several years, and never ceases to amaze everyone with her creative scenarios. It all began with sharing her favorite reads, then interactive shots with a bookcase. As she became more and more involved with the idea, photos got steadily more complex and creative. Today she creates intricate and inspiring artwork from her massive collection of books.

If this art form seems familiar, it's because Elizabeth brainstorms and creates literary scenes with her good friend James Trevino, whom we featured in Bored Panda earlier this year.

From a mermaid to a warrior fighting a dragon, scroll down the page and check out her cool Bookstagram gallery!

Fascinated by music, movies and sitcoms, I'm passionate about social media and can't live without the internet, especially for all the cute dog and cat pictures out there. I wish the day had about 40 hours to be able to do everything I want.

Harrumph, let me clear my throat to declare my suspicion that the only love of books this person possesses is equal to their capacity as things to add to her followers on Instagram. Being so busy having photos taken of herself there can hardly be any time left over to actually ever read any books. In my world, having a vast library is not the same as having bought a lot of books to use as props.

Because OF COURSE you know her personally and know that all of the book reviews she's posted on Goodreads and other bibliophile sites for years are completely made up and fake, yes?
