Why: Wondrous little curiosities...tiny books made using traditional bookmaking techniques, merry mini mermaids and mischievous wee bears. All a reflection of Joy's obsession with creating collectibles on the smallest of scales. I don't know how she does it...she must have the hands of a world-class brain surgeon and the eyesight of a hunting hawk, not to mention oodles of imagination! Oh, and visit her website and blog for all things different but equally mesmerizing...illustrations, photographs, artist books, woven textiles and more curiosities of all kinds.
Like Alice in Wonderland but better.
