My first idea I have was book burning which I wrote about earlier on my blog made me look into book burning, I burnt books and wood to see what happens when the book goes to ashes. I tried painting with the ashes that didn't work so I looked at more of a variety of it. I decided to burn quotes for book on to MDF which looked like a success. Firstly I created a few samples.
I used MDF word and a wood burning iron to created the words/quotes.
First quote is “A book without words is like love without a kiss; it's empty.” Andrew Wolfe
My second quote is ''A real book is not one that we read, but one that reads us.  Auden, W. H..
My last quote is There is no mistaking a real book when one meets it. It is like falling in love. Christopher Morley .
I think these quotes are lovely as wall hanging and I put them all into my sketch book hanging for rope and ribbon to make them look even more better.

For my final one I used the same method but a different quote, I lovely quote by William Shakespeare.
 "Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind, And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind."
 I like this quote because it really does sum up love. I wanted the ribbon to be white like Cupids wings.
