Sculpture Mysteries

October 24, 2011

Happy Monday! How was your weekend? Did you get all your pumpkins carved or painted or wrapped in stockings? I had a busy, productive weekend with a little baking and a lot of time with friends.

This morning, I have the little sweetest little mystery to share with you.

An artist has been leaving these intricate sculptures at libraries around Edinburgh. No one knows who the artist is, and the sculptures appear as if by magic.

The artist does leave a little note for the recipient, making it obvious he or she is a lover of books, words, ideas and imaginations. The sculptures almost seem like the artist’s crusade to show everyone the importance of books and reading and writing.

Aren’t they incredible? They make me want to hop over to Edinburgh to get a really close look at the details.

In the meantime, you can see more pictures, and read all about the details of the mystery sculptures here.

Found via this cool chick.

    “Incredible” doesn’t say enough. The intricacy is mind-boggling. How whimsical and fun! I hope someone identifies the artist soon. S/he deserves some recognition for this work. Wow.
