Little and Smol Book Carving / Altered Book Cheshire cat if you put a catLittle and Smol is the title of this book carving. I came across this small slim book called Hoppus's Measurer for timber, stone and iron. Its a small ornate book that had some minor damage to it. The book has been cleaned and the damaged has been highlighted with acrylic gold guild to emphases the beauty in the damage, similar to the Japanese art of Kintsugi. The title of Little and Smol comes from the children's illustrations that are in the inside.
