FAQ

Out of a commitment to sustainability and recycling, I make a point of working exclusively with unwanted books that are destined for disposal.

Due to the nature of how they are collected, the books vary greatly in content, language, and size, and the inventory is constantly changing. To learn more about the selection process and the philosophy behind using these books, you are invited to read our "About" section.

I believe that books carry deep personal meaning, so I do my best to accommodate such requests.

However, there are technical considerations that influence the choice of the right book, such as page count, paper tone, and thickness. If you would like to check the suitability of a specific book in advance, please contact me or leave a message, and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

Absolutely! I am open to bringing any idea you can imagine to life.

As an artist, I strive to weave your personal vision and message into the work, so that when you receive the final piece, you feel a deep connection to it—almost as if you had created it yourself. Please send me your idea along with your contact details using this form, and I will get back to you within three business days with a price quote.

No, a stand is not necessary at all! Once the book is finished, it will stand independently and remain stable on any flat surface you place it on.

However, if you would like to display the book tilted at a slight upward angle, a special stand is available to order. Please note – the stand is not listed on the website, so if you are interested, please contact me directly to place an order.

To ensure your piece remains at its best for years to come, it should be placed in a dry, shaded area, away from extreme temperatures.

For dusting, a gentle pass with a feather duster is all it takes—and your book will look as fresh as the day you received it.

Absolutely! A book sculpture makes the perfect gift.

All you need to do is check the "Gift Wrapping" box on the product page. The cost is 40 NIS for home delivery, or free of charge if you choose to pick it up yourself from my studio in Herzliya.

To ensure your piece arrives in perfect condition, we offer door-to-door delivery. Alternatively, you can choose local pickup from my studio in Herzliya. For more details, you are welcome to read our full shipping policy here.

שאלות נפוצות

מתוך מחויבות לערכי הקיימות והמיחזור, אני מקפידה לעבוד אך ורק עם ספרים ללא דורש, המיועדים להשלכה. בהתאם לאופי האיסוף שלהם, הספרים מגוונים מאוד בתוכן, בשפה ובגודל והמלאי משתנה כל הזמן. למידע נוסף על הבחירה בספרים ועל הרעיון שמאחורי השימוש בהם, תוכלו לקרוא ב"אודות".

אני מאמינה שלספרים יש משמעות אישית עמוקה, ולכן אשתדל לענות על בקשה זו בחיוב. עם זאת, ישנם שיקולים טכניים שיכולים להשפיע על בחירת הספר המתאים, כמו מספר העמודים, גוון הדפים, ועוביים. אם תרצו לבדוק איתי מראש את אפשרות השימוש בספר מסוים, אנא צרו קשר או השאירו הודעה, ואחזור אליכם בהקדם.

בהחלט! אני פתוחה ליצירת כל רעיון שתדמיינו. כיוצרת אני שואפת לשלב את המסרים והחזון האישיים שלכם ביצירה, כך שכשתקבלו את היצירה תרגישו חיבור עמוק אליה, קצת כאילו יצרתם אותה בעצמכם. שלחו לי את הרעיון שלכם ופרטים ליצירת קשר בטופס הזה, ואחזור אליכם תוך שלושה ימי עסקים עם הצעת מחיר.

לא, אין צורך במעמד כלל! כשהספר מוכן הוא יעמוד באופן עצמאי ויציב על כל משטח ישר עליו תניחו אותו.
עם זאת, אם תרצו להציג את הספר כך שיוטה בזווית קלה כלפי מעלה, ניתן להזמין מעמד מיוחד. שימו לב – המעמד אינו מופיע באתר, אז במקרה כזה אנא צרו איתי קשר ישירות להזמנה.

כדי להבטיח שהיצירה תישאר במיטבה לשנים רבות יש למקם אותה באזור יבש ומוצל, הרחק מטמפרטורות קיצוניות. לניקוי מאבק מספיק לעבור בעדינות עם מוט נוצות – והספר ייראה רענן כמו ביום שבו קיבלתם אותו.

בהחלט! ספר מפוסל הוא המתנה המושלמת. כל שעלייך לעשות הוא לסמן את תיבת הבחירה "אריזת מתנה" בעמוד המוצר. העלות היא 40 ₪ למשלוח עד הבית, או בחינם אם תבחרו באיסוף עצמי מהסטודיו בהרצליה.

המשלוח מתבצע בשירות מדלת אל דלת, כדי להבטיח שהיצירה תגיע אליכם במצב מושלם. ניתן גם לבחור באיסוף עצמי מהסטודיו שבהרצליה. למידע נוסף, אתם מוזמנים לקרוא על מדיניות המשלוחים שלנו כאן.
