My bjd and David Austin Roses in 12th scale

The time flies... It's been one month we are back to France but it’s only two weeks remaining before DHN Show starts! I am like a busy bee, running in between the real life and my favorite miniature world.

I am preparing the flyers, table display, new material and new tools for Arnhem visitors and craft friends. It's announced that my table is G05. Very excited but stressed too!! Since I am new to the show, hope the visitors will love my works and enjoy the workshops that I am going to conduct.

I was a cray doll collector between 2000 and 2002;I have 60-70 dolls in 6th scale, they are Momoko Doll, Jenny Doll, Blyth, and Barbie. I have several Tyler and Alexandra 16" dolls too. My first bjd in 12th scale was confirmed in August. She's made by Sun Joo Lee, a very talented Korean doll artisan. I contacted her via Facebook and asked my craft friend Linda Hu to bring her back from Taipei Pinocchio Doll show on 24th August. Now she has just arrived in France. :)

I would like to study first about the make-up and the wig making. I don't dream about making dress or accessories for the little dolls someday because I know nothing of needles... though I have collected a lot of Japanese doll dress books and magazines since 2000. On the pictures, just beside her, there are several English roses in 12th scale that I made for DHN Show. This is the first try and I hope I will make more delicate flowers when I get used to the material and painting skills.

Look! Some gorgeous pieces and AIM April Imag!

Yesterday evening I opened the mail box and found a surprise that made me smile. :-)
It was a little parcel from Singapore.

I have known Cindy (Snowfern Clover) since 2009, the beginning that I joined the blogland. For me, the miniature world was totally new and I was that lucky to know her since she recommended me a lot of useful info and guided me in the tiny world. I know it’s not true but I felt somehow as if she were my classmate in the school; we played and studied ‘technique’ of mini food together. It’s a special friendship for me in the world of miniatures.

What I got from her is a bowl of salads, a sandwich, some cigarette cases and several empty plastic boxes she made for me. I was speechless when looking at her works. The colors and shape are perfectly made. Cindy! You arouse my will to work on vegetable and fruits.

I have some dolls in 1:4 scale but they are still in my parents’ home so I asked my Momoko doll to work as a temporary. :P (Her little bunny in black is as adorable as her, right?! ) Thank you Cindy, I definitely treasure these amazing pieces of yours.

Welcome to visit Cindy’s blog; you will find lots of useful tips and treasure there!

Another very important thing is AIM April Imag is out now. You will see many beautiful brides and many useful projects in this issue! Download the file directly! Have a great weekend! Oiseau :o)
