THINGS TO SHARE




I thought I would show all of you the sweet little items that my sister Liz gave me for Christmas. Aren't the mice(rats) hysterical!!! I really love them and can just see them on a kitchen shelf ready to eat. They are made by Bridget MCcarty She makes the most adorable animals. The little cat is hand sewn. I need to find the name of the artist that made that........I think it is Paulette Svec......will find out and add it to the post. She also bought me a very tiny sign that says "ROSE COTTAGE". I purchased a kit for a 1/4" scale house from Petite Properties and the sign should be perfect for that. I love when someone in the family gives me minis for the holiday's. I hope everyone is having a wonderful week.

More items to share


I was so excited about this next purchase. I had seen these statues of cherubs a couple of years ago in some photos someone posted from the Miniature show that they have in Madrid and LOVED them. I didn't think I would ever have a chance to buy some unless I found someone that attends that show to purchase them for me!!! Taller Targioni was at the GOOD SAM show this year and had work by Victoria Heredia. I was jumping for joy when I saw these!!!!!
Genevieve, That is where I bought the rabbit that is dressed that you inquired about. I also purchased the baby from my previous post from the same booth. I think she is also made by Victoria. I am not sure who made the rabbit. Maybe one of our bloggers from Spain know the artist's name. Sorry about the picture. It didn't come out so good. The details on these little figurines is so incredible. I don't know how she did them! They are so incredible and tiny. A take off on Meissen or Dresden cherubs. They have delicate applied flowers all over the back of them at the base.
I also bought three sizes of Japanese floral wire and some rice paper so I can experiment this year making flowers. I am really looking forward to that!

MORE PURCHASES

I really enjoy owning other artist's work. This little baby is so sweet.



I love this little doll. She is only about 1/2". The little rabbit is perfect for a nursery or a toy store.

A Good Sam purchase



How are all of you? I cannot believe that it is almost the end of January!! Time is flying by and this month has been really busy already for me! I finally took a picture of one of my purchases from the Good Sam show that I attended in October. I will share more soon too. One of the other photos I took didn't come out that great so I will need to retake it. I bought these wonderful utensils from "Cinderella". It is hard to believe that they are 1:12 scale in this photo! They are made so well.
Of course I need to add a photo of a baby that I made awhile ago too. Baby Christopher! He is 1 3/4" and all hand sculpted from polymer. I hope all of you are having a wonderful start to this new year! I am Loving everything that you are posting and working on!!! Such great talent out here in the miniature world!!!!

I have been so busy lately with my real life that I haven't been able to do anything with miniatures!!! I went to the Good Sam show a few weeks ago and bought some wonderful little miniatures. Once I take photos I will share them.....in the meantime I thought I would post a photo of one of the few boy babies that I have made in the past. My clay always seems to want to make girls!! I have no control of the outcome when I am sculpting!! LOL I made the carrier that he is sitting in too. I am looking forward to having the time to sculpt again. I am so ready to see another new baby's face emerge from my clay!
