Tiny bookshelf part 1

Going to fill this 2 compartment wine box with tiny books.
I imagine it will take some time.
Used some encaustic pages today.

Henry Cutler

This book is made from old library borrowing cards. Its name, Henry Cutler, comes from one of the names written on the cards.
The books were discarded from the north curl curl primary school.my aunt used to be a librarian there .she gave me a few books that were destined for the shredder.
I covered the cards with tissue to form a concertina. The cover is cut from one of my encaustic pieces from January.
I cut some pieces out of the cards and the cover to make it lighter.
Added a few buttons for decoration.
And a ribbon to close.
