A Mini Book...

"Every Joy In Life Is A Gift."

I started making mini accordion folded books years ago to show case my calligraphy quotes. I used handmade or decorative papers to make the covers but they were simple and understated. My art focus has changed to include much more than calligraphy. Creating this butterfly theme mini book was a joy.

    This is so precious. Adore it.
    Thank you for your lovely congratulation message. Yes, aren't their magazines so expensive, also moreso for me in Scotland but the quality is second to none.
    Have a lovely day.
