Altered Books Made into Wearable Art and Other Musings

I've been finding some wonderful works pertaining to altered books at various blogs and web sites lately. Here are a few favorites.

This link goes to a great photo on Flickr. It shows a Halloween themed tag that someone has made for an altered book.

This page has a number of truly exceptional book sculptures and other works of paper arts.

On the link directly above, one particularly stunning example is a piece of wearable art made from a book.  I confess that this is the first time I have heard of an altered book that could be worn.  I've seen pictures of purses made from old books, but that's as far as it goes.Has anyone else made wearable art using an altered book?  Please leave a comment about it if you have.
