Goldie Hollander - one woman's miniatures exhibition

This weekend I attended the opening of Goldie's exhibition in a very well known gallery at the city of Raanana.
19 boxes of her exquisite miniature work, all about fairy tales, nursery rhymes and children stories and songs, were exhibited. This is only a small part of her wonderful work.  A visit to her house is like going to a miniature museum.
I want to share with you some of the photos from this exhibition.  I am sorry about the poor quality of these photos. Being rather clumsy and still a novice with computer work, I could not download what Goldie sent me and used my camera to snap photos from the computer monitor.

Aladin's Bazaar

Hansel and Gretel


Papa Japata's workroom - Pinocchio

This is about a granfather who planted carrots in his garden.  One carrot grew so large that grandpa couldn't pull it out. Grandma came to help pull but the carrot didn't budge, the little girl helped, still the carrot didn't move, the dog helped and the carrot still firm in its place.  At the end the little mouse came and helped pull and the huge carrot came out while all the others fell on their back. This is a funny little song with a very nice tune that generations of us learn at kindergarten and the author is our famous poet Levin Kipnis.

I wish all of you could visit the exhibition.  Isn't Goldie great?
