The Library Phantom Returns!
by Robert Krulwich

He? She? It? Whoever it is, the Phantom Sculptor is suddenly back!

As I recently reported, somebody has been dropping glorious little paper sculptures into libraries and museums all over Edinburgh, Scotland, and we've just heard (thank you, alert reader Paul Smith) that there are now three more.

And they will be the last.

In mid-November, someone at the Scottish Poetry Library spotted a fresh, handwritten entry in the guest book, which said "I've left a little something for you," at the shelf marked "Women's Anthologies X."...


Read More the link. Here are some pictures of their work.

Thank god you are over that weird spell Steely....these are awesome. Incredibly time consuming (the feathers at least) are amazing. I love books and museums and reading but alas I do not have that kind of talent. What a great little mystery!
 
What strange and awesome talents people have!

This is really cool, thanks for posting.
