Description This is a commission work for who ordered two micro alphabet books for his kids, Emma and Wade.
Books are done with perfect binding, every page is hand written/drawn with ink and watercolors and fixed...the same is done with the inner sides of covers (silhouette of jester lying under tree of alphabet).
In agreement with David, I used trees and jesters, a slightly odd combination, but worked well here. Middle of the book is two-pages illustration of complete alphabet, set in colored shapes.
Books are covered with striped velvet in brown tone.
Complete books (all the letters and general look) could be seen on a YouTube video:

Bit blurry but hopefully visible…done everything possible, but this is clearest I can. Blame it on my equipment, it was shot with a cell phone camera, my usual camera wasn’t available at the time

In my experience, children love things that are tiny or scaled down. We have a phrase for it at the nursery I work 'miniature miniscule' & anything, from dolls to books they adore. The detail & the jester theme suggested by David work really well as there is also a very medieval feel about them not only in style but the whole concept altogether.

Really lovely!

No, truly, Maylar.........the art you create, and your imagination and what you do with it, are very special ) You know, the pages with the alphabet tree remind me slightly of your riddle painting, which I never did figure out totally....lol. Be well......hope the days are treating you kindly. Mary

Maylar, you are very welcome. Truly, when the words come to me, they are meant entirely, and from my heart. It is oftentimes a struggle for me to express that path, from what I feel inside, to placing it within a written vocabulary, so, hopefully, I can clearly show my appreciation.

Fantastic work. Couldn't be better. I love them. The illustrations are terrific. You make such cool things and have the personality to match.
