Book wrap at the Jaipur Lit Fest

The no-fuss, no-wastage, smart book wrap. What we liked about this one is that the gentleman in the picture has used the program schedule of the Jaipur Lit Fest (where he is) to wrap his notebook. Via, Wearabout.

Lotus Queen.

The Lotus Queen book box. Inspired by the kaavad, this little vibrant wooden cupboard opens up to reveal the book. Kaavad is a craft native to Rajasthan that uses wooden boxes as portable story-tellers. The insides carried more illustrations arranged to form the outlines of a story. They also served as shrines.
