Miniature Artists Books by Elsa Mora

by kate on February 9, 2012

We’ve received an overwhelmingly positive response to Issue No. 6 and its cover, created by paper artist Chloé Fleury. If you haven’t seen the video of how the cover was assembled, you can check it out here (or in the column to the right). It’s so fun to watch the paper elements come together to form the room. We have more fun things cooking for the next cover as well, so stay tuned!

In the meantime, I thought I would celebrate another of our favorite paper artists, the phenomenal Elsa Mora, aka Elsita. We featured some of Elsa’s work last year, but I stumbled upon another project she’s been working on: these incredibly intricate miniature artists books. Each pint-sized volume is unique, and comes elegantly presented with a tiny and beautiful sleeve, box, or bow. I just can’t get over how elaborately detailed and finely crafted these pieces are—so clearly a labor of love by the artist.

You can see all of the miniature books Elsa has made here on her site; to check availability for purchase, visit her Etsy shop. I’ll leave you with a few of my favorites, although it was hard not to share them all. I definitely recommend you take a quick trip to her site and see the rest!

I’m a huge fan of Elsa’s work – unfortunately I’ve never been able to take hold of one of her beautiful, poetic books. They are always sold so quickly!

This is so unique and wonderful. Would make great gifts for memory-driven events such as weddings, showers, etc.

These are exquisite little books. I would love to publish something like this, but fear the charm of the petite, handmade object would be lost.
