Tiny Book of Art

People always ask me if I ever sell my originals...

I do occasionally,
but I'm mostly saving them for my boys.

They might be worth something
when they're old men ;)

Anyways...
I made this accordion book that holds 12 tiny originals
& it will be for sale at my Etsy shop
as soon as I'm finished with it.

I still have to make two tiny originals
to complete the collection of 12.
They were painted
on handmade Twinrocker paper
and measure 1.5 x 2 inches.

Minnie said...: Beautiful, what a unique piece of artwork. Your kids are so blessed with such a talented mama. You've inspired me to do a little book of of my own but of my kids' drawings/paintings. They are only two and three-years old but this seems like the perfect way to encourage them to develop their artistic skills. Thanks for the inspiration.; 7/17/2009 9:01 AM

one little acorn said...: Ohhhh... I have been hoping another of your tiny books would make it to your store and now I am heading away for a few days. I will keep my fingers crossed I will be back before they go on sale (as I know they will sell out so so fast!)

;); 7/24/2009 2:25 PM
Rubbertaster said...: Hi Geninne
Maybe I'm a bit weird but the way I see it, the boys would be better off if you sold more of your art work. That way, you get famous and command huge prices for your work. The boys may have a few less pieces in their collection but what they have is worth heaps!!!; 7/26/2009 9:20 PM
Rachel said...: I was just wondering, where did you get the inspiration for these pieces, particularly the format? I have been inspired by Persian Miniatures for a long time and have been painting tiny 2-inch square paintings in gouache for a little while now. It's so interesting how when you make something "tiny," it becomes precious as well.

(Anyways, I came upon your site by chance, googling "String of pearls succulent" images, and saw the succulent container plant you made--very nice!); 8/03/2009 8:40 PM
