A busy week

This week has flown by.  I suddenly realised this morning that it was Friday and I had a blog post to write.  At that point I had a bit of a panic.  What have I got to tell you about?  It's been one of those weeks where there's been lots going on but not necessarily things that you would find interesting.

So, I had a look at my blog list and discovered that an exciting publication is out.  A while back I blogged about providing LED lights for Orsi Skulteti for her recreation of 221b Baker Street from the Sherlock BBC TV series.  (Using LED Lights in a kitchen)  A while ago she contacted me to tell me she had been asked to write asn article about the making of her kitchen for the Spanish magazine "Miniaturas" and she asked if it would be ok to specify me as a supplier.  I quickly agreed.

According to her blog the magazine has now been published so if anyone gets the magazine you can look out for the article.
This is her blog post: Orsis Minis - Miniaturas article

Other than that I've been busy with orders and I have been preparing the sleighs and reindeer for Kirsten Miller or Quernus Crafts.

It looks like a small army!  Here they all are, glued up ready for painting.  The first coats of paint are on so I'm hoping to have these finished soon.

Reindeer & Sleighs for Quernus Crafts

I am planning to have these available for sale and also as a workshop at the brand new Wonders In Miniature online fair in November.

The fair will run from the 8th - 11th November and is all about holidays from around the world.

Keep a look out for updates soon!

Jennifer,

Table Lamps at the Online Show!

I have made some new lamps for the online show that's on until Tuesday 20th August.  This weekend is the ideal time to take a look if you haven't already.

These are all a traditional shape but there is a range of colours and options of base and lampshade available to suit you.

They come with a 3mm wide angle LED which gives a nice even light and is nice and bright.

There is a choice of wooden base in an Oak Stain, a range of cotton wrapped bases and also pink and green bases with a glittery finish.   You can also choose your colour of lampshade.

You can find them either at my table at the online show or on my website.

Online Miniature Show - 14th - 20th August 2013

If you fancy visiting a dolls house fair from the comfort of your living room then this is the fair for you!

Shelly Norris has been running these online fairs, twice a year for a few years now and I've been taking part for the last couple of years.

Each Artisan has a table which is a page where they can display their products with only hand crafted or embellished miniatures allowed.

Shelly has improved the site at each fair so it's now a lot easier to find the tables you want.  There will be a show pamphlet available with a list of all the artisan's tables and a short description of what they sell.

There have been some problems in the past with specific Artisans being difficult to find but this has been acted upon and tables will be listed by scale to make it easier for you to find the products of most interest to you.

There will be Artisans from all over the world and all will be high quality pieces so it's well worth a look.

The show is open from the 14th - 20th August.

Hope to see you there!
