Book pages in craft
Posted: Mon Dec 27, 2021 2:07 pm
Hi, I have a few questions and wondered if anyone could please advise me?
I make frames using papercraft by punching and cutting shapes from paper. I was wondered about using pages from books as an alternative to craft paper. The intention would be to then sell the finished artwork.
My questions are:
- would I be allowed to cut up pages from books I own to make into art or would this infringe copyright?
- would using older, classic novels (e.g. Bronte/Dickens) be better to use, due to the age of the books?
Many thanks in advance.
