Ele creates bespoke house light box pieces, meticulously handcrafted from vintage books and copies of cherished documents.

 

Each unique piece is a detailed scale model of her clients' family homes or meaningful buildings, carefully constructed from materials that hold personal significance. The result is a beautifully illuminated framed model, blending craftsmanship and sentimentality. Ele also makes unique framed collage pieces that incorporate her original watercolour drawings, plus framed fairytale pieces and glass domes, which are available to purchase here, without the need for commissioning.

HOUSE LIGHT BOXES

Scale models of clients' homes or other sentimental buildings, using old books, maps and music.

WORKSHOPS

Ele hosts workshops in Wiltshire and Somerset, where you have the opportunity to create your very own magical cottage dome, using copies of fairytale book pages, alongside patterned fabric or papers.
