I’ve always loved pop up books and illustration, and would spend hours poring over them as a child, always trying to spot a little detail which might have escaped me or been deliberately hidden by the artist. I love detail, decoration and discovery in others’ creations - whether in a drawing, an unexpected object turned into a something extraordinary, or a garden full of hidden surprises - and try to evoke that feeling of delight through my own creations.

Full description
Hand-drawn and painted pop-up tunnel book in ink and watercolour. Size - 7.5 x 7cm x 5cm.
Constructed with 7 layers of watercolour paper into a 3D layered scene depicting a Parisian street scene, with a cafe in the foreground, a couple passing each other by and the iconic Eiffel Tower in the distance. The scene is framed by a pair of classic wooden shutters which can be opened and closed and are painted on both sides.
Each layer of the scene is painstakingly drawn, painted and then carefully cut by hand and assembled and adjusted to create the perfect diorama.
One of a collection of ‘Happy Places’ - each scene providing a moment of escape, discovery and delight. What’s your ‘Happy Place’? I can create it for you, whether it’s a holiday destination, a favourite memory or photo, a scene from your favourite book, a lyric or somewhere you hope to go one day!
I love commissions, so message me and let’s explore how I can turn your ideas into your perfect Happy Place!
Each Happy Place can be framed in a beautiful deep box frame with glass, for display on the wall or a flat surface, or simply purchase as it is. This tunnel book is not suitable for framing due to the shutter feature but the construction means it will happily stand on a shelf, desk or other flat surface - enabling you to pick it up and easily peek into all the nooks and crannies…maybe you will discover a hidden detail there!
