Miniature Books Listed On E-bay

Aesop’s Fables illustrated by Arthur Rackham

Songs From Alice In Wonderland And Through The Looking-Glass;

The Resident Patient, Sherlock Holmes

Walter Crane’s Goody Two Shoes

I finished listing newly made books to e-bay this morning.  They were replacements of books that had sold out previously: Walter Crane’s Baby’s Own Aesop and Baby’s Opera; Pre-1900 Red Riding Hood Green and Fairy Tales From Anderson; Andrew Lang’s Violet Fairy Book; A Scandal In Bohemia, Sherlock Holmes.

After I list any books on e-bay, I try to remember to update my listing inventory spreadsheet and my books to do spreadsheet.  Recently I spent quite a while going through my e-bay listings and matching the totals to my inventory on hand.  I found a few books that supposedly were listed on e-bay but were not actually there.  So, this morning I added them to my listings: Songs From Alice In Wonderland And Through The Looking-Glass; Walter Crane’s Goody Two Shoes; The Resident Patient, Sherlock Holmes; Aesop’s Fables illustrated by Arthur Rackham.

LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE MINIATURE BOOK IN FOUR SCALES

This morning I realized that I had ignored the fact that I make a number of miniature books in four different scales.  Rather I make more than I thought I did.  I was updating my Face Book Business page album for Little House books by Laura Ingalls Wilder when I noticed I had not included the 1:3 scale version of Little House On The Prairie.  I finally made a template for showing the four different sizes.  This way it will be much easier to make a picture of the other titles I make in the four scales.

1:24 scale measures 5/8 inch high by ½ inch wide

1:12 scale measures 31/32 inch high by 25/32 inch wide

1:6 scale measures l and 11/16 inch high by 1 and 5/16 inch wide

1:3 scale measures 3 and 3/8 inches high by 2 1/2 inches wide

1:24 scale is also termed half scale.

1:12 scale is also termed one inch scale.

1:6 scale is also termed playscale.

1:3 scale is also termed American Girl scale.

Latest Batch of 1:12 Scale Miniature Books

Today I am working on replenishing my book inventory.  I sometimes get rather behind with this as I get ideas for new books and can’t wait to try them.  Yesterday I gave myself a stern lecture and went to my “Books To Print and Make” spreadsheet.  I was shocked at the number of books that needed doing.  I got the missing titles printed out so I could start cutting today.  I am doing Red Riding Hood Green, Fairy Tales From Anderson, Walter Crane’s  Baby’s Own Aesop, Walter Crane’s Baby's Opera, The Violet Fairy Book and Scandal In Bohemia all In 1:12 Scale.

Miniature book comparison scales 1:24, 1:12 and 1:6

I found some other size comparison pictures I made a while ago.  I am a terrible photographer, but these types of pictures seem to work for me.

Remember:

1:24 scale measures 5/8 inch high by ½ inch wide

1:12 scale measures 31/32 inch high by 25/32 inch wide

1:6 scale measures l and 11/16 inch high by 1 and 5/16 inch wide

1:24 scale is also termed half scale.

1:12 scale is also termed one inch scale.

1:6 scale is also termed playscale.

MINIATURE BOOKS IN 1:24TH SCALE

I keep telling myself that I will keep posting on a regular basis and then too many other things take over my schedule.  But today I am starting again and can hopefully keep going this time.

This little book is The Secret Staircase in 1:24^th scale from the Brambly Hedge series I make in Miniature.  I also make Spring Story, Summer Story, Autumn Story, Winter Story and The High Hills.  I handcraft all six books in 1:24, 1:12 and 1:6 scales.

I have a Facebook page just for my miniature books:  Lee Ann Borgia Miniature Books.

I have been working on adding albums with all the miniature books I make. I’ve noticed more and more interest in 1:24th or half scale miniatures lately.  I’ve added more of that scale to my miniature book photo albums. 

I am also making more of my miniature 1:12 scale miniature books in 1:24 scale.  I plan to make the Nancy Drew series and the Trixie Belden series in 1:24^th scale next.

Miniature Book Video 1:12 Scale Video

I am so pleased with myself.  I learned to use Power Point to make slide shows of my miniature books and then convert the slideshow to a video.  I have posted them to YouTube.

I hope this all makes sense.  I am still learning how to do the technical things available to me.

My newest project is adding to my collection of 1:6 scale miniature Christmas books. Here are a few I have already done. If you are interested please visit my facebook page for further information at
