See more of these hinged wooden books by Francesca from London on her lovely blog "Mrs Eliot Books".
Thanks to Dear Ada blog I found American artist Mollie Favour and her botanical paintings. Mollie says of her work:

Her inspiration is similar to my own in expolring the weird and wonderful forms of nature.
