Scale changes the object.
It never limits the story.

Yes. Every piece is individually handcrafted, altered, assembled, curated or finished by hand. Depending on the piece I may also incorporate repurposed objects, vintage materials, found objects, artisan papers, ephemera, beads and charms. Some pieces begin entirely from scratch; others begin with an existing object that I transform into something new. Each product description identifies the materials and processes specific to that collection.

Transformation is central to my studio practice. I am interested in taking materials that already have a history and reconsidering what they can become at a different scale. Vintage books become leather folios, old miniature publications become tiny pottery, comic pages become miniature comics. Whenever vintage or repurposed materials are an important part of a piece, that is noted in the description.

1:12 scale means one inch in miniature represents approximately one foot in the 1:1 world — one of the most common dollhouse scales. Many pieces are designed for 1:12, but scale often depends on how an object is used: a 1:12 journal might become an oversized art book in a smaller-scale setting, and tiny pottery works across several scales. Where scale matters, dimensions are included in the listing.

That depends on the listing. Many pieces are made from materials with natural variation — vintage leather, handmade papers, ephemera, washi tape — so pattern placement, color, shape and imagery may vary. Some products are sold as the exact piece photographed; others are part of a collection, curated theme or randomly selected assortment. Each listing explains which applies.

Bookseller’s Choice means I do the selecting for you. Your pieces are chosen from available inventory and may include an assortment of colors, patterns or designs — essentially a tiny surprise curated by The Little Bookbindery.

No. small. mini. micro. products are miniature art, collectibles, display pieces and accessories for miniature environments. They may contain very small parts and delicate materials and are not intended as children’s toys.

Custom and commission availability varies with my studio schedule and the nature of the project; when commissions are open, details are posted on the site. I also participate in selected miniature shows, conventions and exhibitions — see the Events section for upcoming opportunities to shop or see the work in person.
