I'm scared of miniaturizing myself into oblivion .........

There's pros and cons in the making of tiny things.

The materials are cheap.
They don't take up too much storage space.
...and the biggest pro, as far as etsy is concerned is that "tiny" is cheaper to ship.
...and as 90% of my little dolls head off to the USA, that's pretty important.

I'm making these miniature volumes now.
They feature 32 images of the amazing and obsessive work of Ernst Haeckel.
....... They will be selling in my little book shop
probably from tomorrow 15th July









Here's a picture of the man himself




...and the cons of too tiny?
too anal
too fiddly
and the fear of miniaturizing myself into oblivion.
