Miniature handmade book - Japan SOLD



This is another of the miniature hand-made books given to made4aid by Pat - you can see the first here, with a bit more info. about Pat.

These delightful and whimsical little miniatures are made from recycled materials as much as possible - old maps, stamps, bits and pieces of paper, ribbon and beads.
They are perfect for little gifts or keepsakes, with or without words which might be added - poems - lists - messages - photos.

Some of them might be a suitable guage to be used as doll's house "coffee table" books.

If you would like a custom-made book for yourself, a friend, or a doll's house please let us know - Pat has offered to make custom-designed books to your own requirements.

The paper which covers front and back of this book shows a line of kimono-clad ladies



with 3 little translucent-pearly hearts stuck onto the front.

This is one of the smallest books and measures 2 inches/5cm approx. wide and tall.



The end papers - inside the front and back covers - are from paper covered with chinese calligraphy



with a little label "whispers of my heart" in the front, cut from remnants of a shopping bag.



The pages are all blank and stitched together by hand, and the book has a ribbon bookmark which is navy blue, with an ornate little metal bead at the end.
