I like nothing more than a bit of a personal challenge.
So when I asked in my last post about making books "I wonder if I can go smaller", the answer is yes I can. Quite a bit smaller...
Can you guess how small?
Small enough to hide in my palm...
In fact as small as a matchbox.(Less than 3 cm square)
It has been a while since I made a book in a matchbox and I think of all the dozens I made last year this was definitely the trickiest.
I think I might keep this one but I fancy making some more miniatures for my shop. I'd forgotten how much I enjoyed making them.
Although I'm definitely not going any smaller!
Awe they lovely all piled up! :)
ReplyDeleteMaking little things is fun!!!

Not sure whetber my first comment will appear - Blogger ate it before I'd finished. Love this little book and your earlier matchboxes - is there someone somewhere making models with all the matches from the empty boxes?
ReplyDeleteThese get more appealing as they diminish in size! I saw some time ago now that someone had made necklaces with tiny books as the charm. Very cute. Wendy x
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're making these tiny books again, they're just so appealing.
ReplyDeleteSo cute!
ReplyDeleteJee made me laugh! Your book is lovely, don't your fingers hurt, making things that small?
ReplyDeleteIt's exquisite and perfectly made.
ReplyDeleteThat is absolutely perfect - and doesn't the display of them all look gorgeous too. Cheers
ReplyDeleteSmall but perfectly formed.(Just like you)I said it before you did...
ReplyDeleteWell done.
I really like the different sizes and the tiny one is so exquisite.
ReplyDeleteIn admiration of your book-making skills Gina!
ReplyDeleteI always intend to make my paper offcuts into sketchbooks... but somehow never get around to it.
I love the tiny book, well done!!
ReplyDeleteI have just been catching up on your posts for the last week - the pumpkin soup sounded gorgeous and I love the books - the patience to make those small books - they all look so good.
ReplyDeleteLove it! I used to make quite a lot of books so I really do know what a challenge something of this size will have been. Keep em' coming Gina ... I loved seeing your matchbox book project last year :)
ReplyDeleteGetting better and better... and smaller and smaller.... I bet those girls on the course are getting nervous about what challenges you might just set them!
