"I have collected miniature books for over 30 years. Among the more than 2,000 editions tiny treasure, are mini volumes of all ages, countries, styles, bindings, genres ... But I can rarely get manuscripts, both ancient and contemporary. The minuscule codices or conventional formats rarely found outside of museums or the great national libraries and almost no artists "mini", paint or write by hand at 1 / 12 scale. The booklets that performs
Rosa Gascón not follow the pattern of medieval scribes. Needless to find it. Hers are real "artist books" exactly what she is and have personalities. Each page is hand painted with such detail and beautiful, astounding, and in a size so tiny that it seems incredible that so many can appreciate fine detail. I have the luck
having built his first two books in my collection and I hope to have the opportunity to acquire a lot of work to do on, because they represent a treasure rarely found elsewhere. "

BOOK OF BOTANY 
LEAD SOLDIERS 
SMALL BIRDS 
After making many booklets "minis" such as those already on the market photocopied and reduced in those already published and with what I supposed to do the binding, I thought, why not painted them is that I really like it. There are no text books, drawn and numbered page by page. The binding try to do it with the same materials and techniques that the other books of more action. That if, adapting it to these sizes. The skin for example is batty to be very thin or eel skin is pretty well the thinner. The guard always try to be perfectly combined with caps to make them as beautiful as possible. When you do your hollow back or waist so that the book opens without any problem. The leaves are sewn booklets liencillo put them to strengthen the union and hide the wires. I usually leave a few sheets of courtesy. Booklets are unique to give to their certificate. Rosa
