Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, Page Classics Edition
As for the one of a kind paintings themselves, Mandy Howard begins with clamping the book between two pieces of wood, followed by painting wildflowers along the edges. Wildflowers are a symbol in Austen’s books for freedom and simplicity, as well as being the bouquet Mr. Darcy presents to Elizabeth in his first proposal. The ombre design continues along the top and bottom edge.
Using watercolor paints and spraying each painting with matte varnish, the completed artwork is protected from dust. Due to the pressure from the clamps, the paint does not seep past the edge of the page.
While the pages can still be turned, this is recommended to be purchased as a decorative addition to your personal library, rather than to be read. This is due to the fact that the oils on our hands can damage the painting over time.
