Audrey Ruby is a great artist that turns old books and vinils into unique pieces of art and sell them on RetroGrandma Etsy shop.I talked to her and she told me how she does it:
Handmade objects always have a story. They have a real character and charm over mass-produced items.
I've been crafting
for years and loved every minute of it - it's my relaxation time. Some of the
crafting I've done in the past involves sewing, ceramics, crocheting, knitting,
plastic canvas.....and now I love to make unique items out of books and
records: book purses, IPhone docking
stations, hollow book shelves, invisible bookshelves, book lamps, record clocks,
book tablet device covers, record handbags, record bowls and containers, and
record bookends.
My favorite are the
book purses. I have made a large number of
them over the years and never got tired of making them, as each one is
unique. How cool is it to walk down the
street with one of these and see heads turn in amazement!
I love searching for treasures at garage
sales and thrift stores and this is where I pick up all my gently used records
and books.
All of my unique items will spark
conversation! I’ve been creating these
items for 8 years now and have had an Etsy store to share my creations since
then. I’ve done many custom orders for
customers as they send me their special books to create one of my items for
them – mainly book purses.
My shop name tells you I'm a Grandma and I also
love retro. I have a vintage shop also on Etsy:
