I got the idea to do this from watching 'The hairy bikers'. They went to visit a place and this was one of the things they did. So i got an old book and thought I'd try it out for myself. Its meant to look like a Christmas tree however from one angle i think it looks more like a mushroom!
Initially i left the book cover on for the first few photos but then took it off to reveal a cone effect.
This is the image i think resembles a mushroom!
I really like the colouring of the pages, at the top and the bottom where the book has aged it has a richer warmer colour. Its also very effective where the book has been folded making it brighter towards the outside compared with the inside layers.
