Vintage Photo Slide Journal (by thebiglittlelunch)
A tiny photo slide journal using vintage photo slides, and mini blue graph paper pages. On the front slide of this particular book, there’s tranquil ocean-and-beach-scene, and on the back, there’s a medical slide of a pixelated brain.

Miniature Alchemy Book (by Maylar)
It took me some time to make this saddle stitch bound book…it measures 2 cm x 2.5 cm with 36 pages including endpapers. There is an alchemical symbol/sigil on every page, including it’s meaning/name in English above it. Pages are made of paper dyed in Earl Grey tea, to give them special coloration, and carefully made “dirty” so the book would looked used. Covers are real leather ,and had to be carefully prepared and given the same look of age/usage as the inner book has …numerous use of alcohol, mineral oil, turpentine and acrylics to accomplish this, but I’m pretty satisfied with result. After that, I did the gilding. Finally, the book was burned a bit (using ember, rather than open fire and even like that it had to be done very, very carefully, avoiding any real damage!)
