Be inspired by the work of Evan Lorenzen > https://goo.gl/jM7aEL . Trying to compress the history of Earth into a single book is an especially daunting task, the difficulty is compounded when the book you’re writing is the size of a nickel and is limited to just a few pages. Oh, and it needs lots of pictures. Lucky for us, illustrator Evan Lorenzen was up to the task and identified a few pivotal moments in history which he turned into this extremely tiny hand-bound book. You can see more of his miniature books over on his Tumblr.
Be inspired by the Miniature treehouse sculptures by Jedediah Voltz > https://goo.gl/qplcBw . LA-based artist Jedediah Corwyn Voltz constructs miniature treehouses wrapped around common house plants or bonsai trees in his new sculptural series titled Somewhere Small. Voltz relies on over a decade of commercial prop making for film and other projects to craft each structure from scratch using small bits of wood, silk fabric, miniature artworks, and semi precious stones that are hidden throughout. To-date he’s produced some 25 little habitats that resemble everything from tiny watchtowers in secluded forests, to large bustling windmills or water wheels.
Be inspired by Tel Aviv-based artist Shay Aaron > http://www.facebook.com/ShayAaronMiniatures who constructs incredible miniaturized food sculptures at 1:12 scale that look almost completely edible. You can see more photos on Flicker > http://www.flickr.com/photos/shay-aaron/sets/72157618675112894/ and he also makes miniature food jewelry which is availble over on Etsy > http://www.etsy.com/shop/shayaaron
