A miniature blank book in a tiny box

I love making miniature blank books to use as journals, give as gifts and to play in. I have made these little books for several years. I add in a lot of pages, so it is hard to share all of them in photos, and that’s why I haven’t always shared them. I should make a video flipping through a finished miniature blank book or one that I’ve already filled with art, don’t you agree?

But first let’s start today with a look at a blank book that fits in a tiny paper box…

I thought I’d start with this cute mini notebook that I made to fit in a tiny palm-sized box that I already had on hand. I made it as a gift for my mom last year, so a lot of the pages are blue (her favorite color)…

The cover is a marbled blue-green paper that is just lush, like a jungle…

Inside this small notebook you find mostly plain pages, patterned paper on one side and white on the other side – but I also added in some stickers, images and words as inspiration. Here area few of the many spreads

I really like the combination of patterns in this miniature blank book. You could use it to doodle a bit, collect quotes or simply glue in word poetry. Every notebook has so many possible ways to be used – miniature notebooks as well as big chunky journals. The blank page is an invitation!

If you too like miniature notebooks, let me know and I’ll share a few more on the blog soon. Do you make your own, or would you like to try? And if you like mail art, sign up for the Postcard swap that I posted about during Easter.
