Quote Books

These are individually painted and handwritten, so although each book has the same quote, the paintings vary slightly from one to another. I pattern each group on a model, but since the paintings are all done freehand, there are, understandably, some differences from one to another. The decorated papers used on the covers vary as well. Completed books are 1.75" square and a ribbon is used to close the book.
