and 
Congratulations Jessica in the UK :-)

 

 Recently a friend sent me the May 2013 American Miniaturist that I had forgotten all about. It is packed full of artists and there wearable miniature art. I had donated a book necklace for a prize in that issue. I have not seen that issue yet so I will have to keep an eye out for it.. Below is a scan of my article,

 

 I thought I would go ahead and have my own giveaway for the new year. Here it is below..

The leather is very soft eel skin. All you have to do to win is leave a comment below or email me at evminiatures@msn.com. The journal does open. It is blank inside so you can write something in it if you wanted to.

 

 Some of my other books available below.

These little cases were created by me for my curiosity shop at first.

I have some other larger displays that I will blog about later.

They turned out just as I hoped. Kind of dusty and old looking.. LOL

A new batch of small buterfly domes that everyone keeps asking for.

They can be purchased on my butterfly link above.

 

 



Been thinking about making the book case above for a long time.
