Remember these open books that I shared several months ago? I just got an exciting email the other day, from Robert Off of Miniature Rooms Company. We met last November at the Philadelphia Show, when our tables were situated across the aisle from each other.

Bob builds and decorates gorgeous miniature room boxes, so I was very flattered when he purchased a few little things from my table. The other day, he emailed me some photos of his latest room boxes, and pointed out that my open books were in both!

Here's a close up of the built-in cabinet in "The Captain's Table" where my book is displayed. I'm dying to get a closer peek at that dining room set as well! This is actually the second incarnation of this room box. The first room box, which had a similar layout but was decorated differently, had to be rebuilt after some significant water damage!

This "Lighthouse Keeper's Office" is the second room where Bob used one of my books, on the desk. I love the tranquility of this room, and the playfulness of the dogs!
The rest of Bob's work can be seen on the Miniature Rooms website.

Hi Eliza! Your books are exquisite and so are his rooms. Thank you for introducing him. I, for one, did not know of him.
ReplyDeleteYour open books are fantastic. They're perfect in these rooms.
ReplyDeleteBye, Faby
The books are gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteI keep trying to find a tutorial, even of just the basics, for making an open book...but no luck. I don't even know where to start! (Do I just make a regular book and press it open? It doesn't look like that's how it's done.) Would you consider posting a tutorial, even if it is just the very basic steps? ANYthing would be greatly appreciated!
ReplyDeleteHi Eliza! I LOVE your open books and I also would like to encourage you to consider a possible tutorial for how you have made them. Regardless, I want to comment on how pleased you must feel to see something that you've made, in pride of place within a collection of a someone whom you also respect and admire! Nothing feels as good as the nice warm fuzzy feeling that comes from a job well done!

Eliza, your open books are amazingly realistic, just as the room boxes are!
ReplyDeleteI don't know him either, thanks for sharing the link to this site.
Hugs, Ilona
I love your open books - beautiful quality. It must be so exciting to see something you made in a miniature artists rooms.

They're really wonderful so it's not surprising they've been chosen to go in these special projects. Thanks for the link to Bob's work, it looks pretty amazing from what you've shown us so far.
