Cafe Lettus. San Francisco

Currently 1.87/1

Tiny Buildings 2007-06-10 14:09:00
This is a restaurant that personifies *everyday* San Francisco at its most down-to-earth [pun intended]. It serves food made with organic, locally grown ingredients, with an emphasis on freshness. This is the kind of restaurant you wish were in *your* neighborhood when you are craving a really good salad, and can't think of anyplace that can fill that need.The graphics of …

Whitman's. An original edition

Tiny Buildings 2007-06-07 14:59:00
This is one of the very earliest tinybuildings, made by James a long, long time ago. Must have been in 1975 or so. No way of knowing, really.This little structure is about 1-1/4 inches tall.As I've mentioned, these tinybuildings were originally made as part of a Christmas *village* and for tree decorations. One of our family traditions was to put small …

Prune. New York City

This is one of the best restaurants in NYC, in the USA....Tiny place in the East Village, owned by a woman chef whose childhood nickname was Prune. Excellent food, very vibrant, comfortable atmosphere. Always crowded and hectic, but somehow you don't mind people jostling your elbow getting to their table or gazing at the food on your plate while they look …

Morimoto. Philadelphia

Tiny Buildings 2007-06-05 15:40:00
I love this tinybuilding! I am proud of how much it resembles the actual restaurant. Go to the morimoto link and see what I mean. It was difficult to build....curved roof/ceiling...tiny benches...This, obviously, took several business cards, breaking one of the 'rules'; but, it's worth it to have the name down each side and the address between the 'slots' in the …

Frame Eleven. New York City and Zurich

Currently 1.60/1

Tiny Buildings 2007-06-01 15:48:00
This tinybuilding was made from a couple business cards for Darko Karas' motion graphics company in NYC. Darko is Jane's partner-in-crime-and-love.I tried to do the card's graphics justice by placing and cutting the windows and doors in this tinybuilding at interesting locations and with unusual compositions-for windows, at least...I let the lines on the card dictate the positions and sizes of …

Toblerone Swiss Chalet. New York City

Currently 1.78/1

Tiny Buildings 2007-06-01 15:35:00
This is another tinybuilding from Jane's SDOTY Party- the one with the Swiss theme- for party favors.Cute little cabin in a snow-filled valley, waiting for the skiers to return for rosti and schuemli pfluemli. They can sit on the front deck and put their feet up on the railing....Then maybe some chocolate for dessert....I love this little cabin...Makes me very happy …

Lupa. New York City

Tiny Buildings 2007-06-01 15:17:00
Lupa is one of Mario Batali's restaurants. My favorite, in fact. It has the feel of a 'neighborhood hangout' place, but with very good food. Not unlike Delfina in San Francisco [although, Delfina's food is even better I think].It is particularly pleasant to eat at the bar, even with all the foot traffic and bustle. The energy level is great. Pasta, …

International Orange Spa. San Francisco

Currently 1.48/1

Tiny Buildings 2007-05-22 16:31:00
Since the IO Spa is an interior space in a nondescript building, I made an 'interpretive', spa-like tinybuilding, using the graphics of the card to shape the structure. This is a case where the card definitely does the space justice. Just looking at it makes me more relaxed....The interior of the spa is similar to the tinybuilding: white curving walls and …

Delfina. San Francisco

Tiny Buildings 2007-05-14 15:09:00
Let me tell you about the most wonderful 'food street' in San Francisco...maybe even in the U.S. - Eighteenth Street, between Guerrero and Dolores, in the Mission district...This is foodie heaven. On the corner is Tartine Bakery. Next to it it Delfina Pizzeria, an annex to Delfina. and next to that is Bi-Rite Market, a small, family-owned market with everything you …

Universal Cafe. San Francisco

Tiny Buildings 2007-05-12 18:25:00
This is the most recent tinybuilding in my granddaughter's collection. She has, at 4 months, already dined there at least twice.This is one of the rare situations where the graphics of the restaurant's business card do not do the restaurant justice. The design, service and food and wine at Universal Cafe are much more sophisticated than this ugly card. I mean, …

Toblerone Ski Lodge. Switzerland

Tiny Buildings 2007-05-10 13:33:00
Speaking of Switzerland, this rather crass construction is one-of-many made for Jane's 'Shortest-Day-of -the-Year Party a couple years ago. The party theme was 'Swiss', with raclette as the main course. Jane asked me to make party favors for the guests - a challenge to make a dozen quickly.Christina asked her Mom to send Swiss packaging so I could have authentic materials …
