Description

This is another book of fairytale silhouettes. It is a commission, so slightly larger than the last one and fairytales are arranged in different order, with one new addition and changed last one-page illustration. All in all, thirty stories, plus two decorative illustrations and a decorative first page. Take a full view, every fairytale has a title above the illustration :)

Book is 1.4 x 1.8 cm big (0.5 x 0.7 inch). All is hand made, mostly from the scratch. Paper is hand cut and dyed with "Earl Grey". Same with the endpapers, but they're colored too, later. Book is bound by saddle stitch.

Hard covers are decorated with gilding (gold paint and PVA) and to tell you the truth, look much better in reality (smoother...this camera picks shadows as uneven areas a bit, which is especially damaging for the gold paint :( ). Stones are hand painted too.

Decorations are more or less similar to "Royal Book of Oz" [link] , as customer requested that way, but are not the exact copy.

As always, hope you like it :)
