Below are dolls houses in 1/4 and 1/144th scale with Bears at 17 1/2" and 3 1/2" tallBears & Houses

JULY 2009 - This photo will give an idea of the size of the MiniBears I have been making (which are 1 1/2" - 2" tall) in this updated version of my 'Home Page' photo.

Meerkats: . This photo shows the original size and the smaller version of the meerkat pattern I reviewed some while ago. The kit fabric was lovely but I wanted to see how they turned out using fabric from my stock.. Recently I decided to see if an even smaller version would work - and it does! I made the 31/2" version using white upholstery fabric - amazing what Copic pens can do on white fabric!

THE BRIDE & GROOM

THE MARKET

Little Donkey - Hee Haw (pattern by Monica Spicer)

Interesting turn of events. Two days after finishing the Miniature donkey's (above), I found suddenly there were three!

Harry Mason Jewellery - an amaizing 'Customer Care' Story - even when you read it, you may not believe it!

I have just realised a 'flaw' on this index page - no photos to show you what interesting stuff I have been creating! Apologies - going to give you little teaser photos now!

NEW FEATURES

The latest MiniBear projects are part of which I am calling 'THE LIBRARY COLLECTION' as they are going to be inside 'books'. There are two so far, but I do hope to make more in time.

This one is called THE SUSHI SHOP sushi shop - teaser

SANDY'S BLOG. I decided that if I wanted to comment, moan or say anything then having my own Blog page here was the answer. If anyone reads it, then please enjoy my ramblings but be aware that I accept no responsibility if you don't like what I write! You can always stop. Last Updated on: 23rd January 2010

NEW MINIBEAR PROJECT: SNOW WHITE & THE SEVEN DWARFS - .See how I got from the initial idea to (almost) the finished project.

Ever heard of 'Parchment Craft'? Quite a time consuming hobby, especially for someone like me - inexperienced and impatient, but even though I am not 'into' card making, this hobby has a lot of creative potential - and even with my limited abilities, you can create really personalied cards.

My latest card was made to celebrate the wedding of a very dear friend. If you fancy a laugh looking at my other parchment attempts, Click this link: Parchment

There is a section devoted to information about 1/144th and small scale miniatures. I have collected all the information I can on what was available at the time, where you can get it from as well as pictures of what some artists have made. There are also links to the sites of manufacturers and artists which will have even more pictures and information on their own products and I can confirm that there are new products being added to individual websites all the time. Please be aware that this section is still as informative as before, but it has not been updated for some while.

To navigate about my site, as you move the curser over the menu items, they will change colour. Just click to activate another menu bar [showing what pages are in that section], click again on whatever page you want to link to it. e.g: You want to see what furniture is available for 1/144th scale houses - click on the 144th section, and click again on 144th.
