FROM LITTLE THINGS BIG THINGS GROW
This miniature book acorn is carved from a 1972 edition
of Heidi by Johanna Spyri
Re-imagined by Foolhouse
This handmade book sculpture is carved from 188 pages and has a little secret squirrel nestled between the pages.
A unique gift for a bookish treasured friend or a collectible addition to your home.
Each sculpture turns inside-out a little differently, sometimes the sculpture captures the blank edges and sometimes they are carved through the lettering giving each one an individuality of tones. No single sculpture is alike.
All the information of the book it was carved from is on the base so that its’ history is always kept with it.
(The cloche measures 6.7cm in diameter and is 10.5cm tall.)
When I make the Secret Vintage Booksafes I try not to waste any of the paper i carve out and re-use it to make these endearing three dimensional book sculptures for the bookish amongst us. They are a delightful addition to bookshelves and mantles and great gifts for the book lovers.
