Something You Need To Check Out

Sorry for being such a negligent blogger. University and life got in the way, there was no time for miniatures. I'm hoping to bring the blog back asap!

Here's a link you really need to check out.

In the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, you'll find Colleen Moore's Fairy Castle. It has absolutely gorgeous wonderful things made from the original companies, such as real miniature royal doulton china.

There's even a virtual tour if you click 'the exhibit'.

Microscopic Sculptures

Has everyone seen Willard Wigan?

I don't have permission to post his photos on this blog (Haven't asked, maybe I will one day) but I thought you might like to see the link! You can also look at him on tv, on youtube. It's fascinating.
He makes art that you need a microscope to see, and fits into the eye of a needle.

I didn't start making miniatures until 1989, when I received my first Handmade Doll's House that my Mum & Dad, had, had built for me, by their friend Jack, a Master Carpenter.
I'd always been into Craft's and decided that I'd have a go at making my own miniature pieces to fill my house. I found some Fimo in a craft shop and the rest, they say is History. (Although some of my first attempts should have gone in the bin)..
I've made some wonderful friends in the Miniature World, who have been a source of inspiration and encouragement. For that I thank them.
Like I've always said "Its the small things that make life Beautiful".. "
