Mini Midori

Voici mon inspiration du week-end: le challenge  d'A Vintage Journey, mon goût pour les livres et les miniatures,  et l'approche de Noël. Et voilà le cocktail: un mini carnet Midori plein de bonnes choses pour l'Avent.
This is my inspiration of this week-end: A Vintage Journey's challenge, my taste for books and for miniatures, and Christmas coming. This is the cocktail: a mini Midori book full of good things for Advent.

 Evidemment il est ancien et un peu usé par le temps.
Of course it is ancient and a bit time worn.


 A l'intérieur, deux carnets reliés aux couvertures par deux élastiques. Un troisième assure la fermeture du tout.
Inside, two signatures, binded with two elastic cords. A third one closes the whole book.
 Dans l'un, des pages de notes et des chants de Noël.
In one, note pages and Christmas carols.

 Dans l'autre, des images et des recettes de biscuits de Noël.
In the other, pictures and Christmas biscuits recipes.
 Voici la reliure côté tranche.
The binding on the spine side.
 Quand je vous dis mini, voici l'échelle:
When I say mini, this is the scale:
moins de 3 cm de haut.
About one inch height.
 Au départ je voulais le faire plus grand, mais j'ai choisi comme couverture de mes carnets des papiers Tim Holtz qui m'ont imposé leur taille!
At the beginning I wished I made it taller, but I chose these Tim Holtz papers I had in my stash, so they decided the size!
 Alors j'inscris ce mini midori aux challenges de
A Vintage Journey: "Mini Marvels"
et Mini Album Makers challenge: November challenge.

A bientôt!

Lys

  1. Oh my goodness - what a miniature masterpiece, Lys! So tiny and so perfect - this antique tome would be right at home in a dollshouse. I love the Christmas papers inside - so festive - and the distressed, weathered look of the covers is perfect. So glad you showed us the picture with you holding it - even with the dimensions, I would never have visualised it being this small! Thanks so much for joining us on A Vintage Journey and for playing along at Mini Album Makers.

  6. Il est génial !!!!!
    Absolument délicieux ce mini-livre, et extrêmement bien fait...
    Il faudrait que j'en refasse à mon tour, et peut-être dans ce style, vraiment très réaliste.
    Si un jour tu reviens me voir dans mon petit atelier... on pourrait peut-être tenter de se fabriquer d'autres mini-livres toutes les deux, qu'en dis-tu ??... :D ça me dirait vraiment beaucoup !

  8. SQUEAL! Wow, Lys, when you say mini you mean MINI! (or micro!) I'm not sure I would have been able to see that paper that inspired you, much less whipped it up into this amazing little book! Really a treasure you've put together here with so much detail in one tiny spot! Love this! Thank you for playing along at A Vintage Journey Hugs!
