This year the music room at
Longwood Gardens,
transforms the way we look at trees and books.

It's here where creative paper and book embellishments were transposed into stunning

This intricate paper work and book art is created by local artists
Dannielle and Lee Vincent.
Dannielle has handmade dozens upon dozens of folded book art, book sculptures,
framed book art and paper ornaments for the Music Room!
An entirely self taught artist,
Danielle learned her craft watching on-line tutorials.
She watched videos for about a month before she tried her hand at her first piece,
which was a simple heart...
over the years, her designs have become quite elaborate.
Each piece handmade, Dannielle dexterously folds each page according to exact measurements.
What's stunning about her work, is the precision and patience that goes into every piece!
I hope my pictures do it justice, it is extradorinaiy, to say the least.
I think this room was my favorite this year!

There is certainly a good deal of creative flair at work here.
Oh my goodness - music and books - 2 of my most favorite things. I'm always a bit amazed by the creative ideas that people come up with. I love the garland made from book pages, and the tree made with stacks of books! Oh yeah - and the butterfly is amazing!
Stunning, what more could one say. The books carved into art are amazing...love, love, love them and such creativity with the paper poinsettia's from old books. What a special treat to be able to go there.
WOW!!
Fantastic! Though the individual art pieces are amazing, it is the Christmas Tree made from stacked books that is my favorite.
Thanks for your help with positive ID of the Lesser Scaup.
Have a wonderful day!
awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!

Well I'm staggered at such amazing book art and I really appreciate seeing this Debbie, thank you. The artists are brilliant.
As an earlier commenter mentioned, you have a particular skill at capturing these considering the lighting :D)
I’m sure this would be my favorite Christmas room too. Mainly, because i love books and am always reading something. What an extraordinary artist; it’s all amazing. I can’t imagine how one would make this kind of lovely art. I was drawn to the tree with all the books. I’m sure I could spend a long time enjoying looking at the details of all of this one. Thanks for sharing this very unique room.
Loving thoughts and hugs for you!
That is a special gift. I think it is gorgeous.A friend of mine does some of this as well, but ai don't have a clue how to do this.
What a beautiful tree! The snowflake books are fantastic! I've never seen that done before.
Love
AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow that is just so amazing!! I can't imagine the thought and time that goes into these, such wonderful works of art! You did a terrific job of capturing them, I imagine they are even more impressive in person, thanks for sharing with us!
Oh man I was so excited about the book art that I forgot to say how beautiful the lit up tree looks and that tree made of stacked books is very cool too :)
Isn't the book art amazing - loved all of your photographs.
All the best Jan
