Second meeting with the Israeli Miniaturists

Hello all,

Yesterday was the second time the local miniaturists met.  We enjoyed a wonderful time
together at Limor's place.  Limor is a very gifted  miniaturist as well as an author.  Her first book is already in print and will be published very soon. In my next post I'll show you photos of some of her
stunning miniature scenes.  Here is the link to Limor's web site Limor.

We all brought one little handmade gift for a swap. Mine was one of the toy trolleys which I already showed you before how to make.  I received a fantastic basket full of sausages, crafted by Sarit, who
is Limor's mother.  Both mother and daughter are very talented miniaturists.



You will probably get to know more of my fellow miniaturists, as I'm going to show you
some of their work after each time we meet.  This time we each made a pair of espadrilles.





Right now I'm experimenting with ceramics.  I made so many cookies and cakes in my last batch
that I have to make plates for them.  I'm trying to do a two layered plate.  Will see what will come
out.  I have to wait until the clay is completely dry then rub the surface smooth, glaze and fire.



I wish you all a wonderful weekend with blessings

    Oh how wonderfully exciting! So lovely to have other miniaturists to share with. Here in Norway miniatures seem to be looked upon as toys and childrens stuff. People think l am a little strange. So very glad to have found all the wonderful miniaturist blogs, yours is one of my favourite. Beautiful tiny little shoes, and wow what lifelike sauseages! Pam xx

    What cute Espadrilles!!!! And The mini you got from the swap is as realistic as it could be!! You said you are waiting for the clay to dry before sanding, glaze and fire....fire in a kiln? Or fire in the oven?
