Handmade books in miniature
Today I spent some time putting together books for the fireplace bookcases. Some were scanned from books in my personal library, but most were cover images I found online.
I used bass wood in various thicknesses to create the pages, painting the edges in white, grey and yellow-browns for some variety. I tried to not be too careful in making them since I wanted them to look like a nice collection of gently worn and well-loved used books. :]

Very real looking! Your Spring Fling house is going to be awesome!!
These are great! I love the colors and modern style to them. Books are my favorite, and I want to learn how to make some. I can definitely see myself investing in some readable mini books too, later. Thanks for the inspiration!

How funny - “Dreaming of Sweden” is in my mini book collection I made a few years ago too!
Thank you all for your kind comments! Annina - that is funny…I love that cover. Maybe I should read the book. 
You did a great job with these books. Lovely collection.
