one must open up one of zhihui’s miniature pop-up books delicately. on the inside, a clock, no larger than a droplet of water, rests on the wall. you wouldn’t want to knock it over. another book opens up to a bathroom scene with a picture frame resting over the tub. the painting inside that frame is even daintier — with individual brushstrokes the size of fingerprint-ridges. yes, the more meticulous and tiny the project, the more whimsical these gorgeous books seem to be. thankfully, their careful creator has them up for sale, sharing a bit of their pint-sized wonders with us…
