A Mushroom ABC. by Peter and Donna Thomas

For the beginning of summer, MiniMondays is going to have a series focusing on a small fraction of the lovely artists books by Peter and Donna Thomas!

For our book after a long weekend, we have some lovely illustrations of mushrooms in an ABC accordion book!

"Printed watercolors on one side of an accordion folded handmade sheet (50 x 150 mm.), shaped to resemble a mushroom. First and last folded leaves mounted on two paper boards, covered with gray paper, and also shaped as a mushroom. Title paper label on front cover. Issued in a slipcase covered with paper and with a mylar front cover that reveals the shaped binding."--Catalog

Peter and Donna Thomas are "book artists from Santa Cruz, CA. They work both collaboratively and individually; letterpress printing, hand-lettering and illustrating texts, making paper, and hand binding both fine press and artists’ books." They have made over 100 limited edition books, often with Peter making the paper, and Donna doing the illustrations.

Check out more of Donna and Peter's books at Uiowa here.

Dear Tiny me

Thank you, tiny me

For helping me

Take care of me

I always forget to eat

Veggies and fruit

But shaped like a bunny

They'll taste so good

So hard to have enough to drink

But put in a sippy

Sparkly and pink

And you'll help me

Thank you, tiny me

For helping me

Take care of me

Wild Flowers of Canada / by Colin E. Roseblade

Wild Flowers of Canada is a beautiful miniature book featuring postage stamps and information surrounding Canadian flowers. Created in 1982, this 41 page book shares great insight into the history and significance of these flowers in Canada.

The included flower stamps are actual postage stamps that have been adhered to the pages. This miniature showcases many exquisite flowers, which helps to make this book a perfect read for the upcoming spring!

We recently found this "dummy" for the @knollinc tabloid from the 1970s. The tabloid was meant to be a change from the sleek brochures of the 1960s and have an underground paper feel of the 1970s. It was also the first tabloid printed in four colors!

Our #TinyTuesday offering this week is too small for its own woodcuts, but no matter. We think they look just fine sideways, don't you?
