Hello everyone! I've been more active on my Instagram page of recent months, my apologies. If only Blogger was easier to use, I'd be updating more often!
Last year I was approach by The Daily Mini about contributing a few photos of my mini collection to a book. I couldn't say no! The Book of Mini by Kate Esme Unver! I started following The Daily Mini right from the beginning on Instagram. Her following has exploded and its a great way to see tons of amazing miniaturists.
It's tough to pick and choose your favourites, but after submitting a handful of pictures, the publisher did the work for me. I had 3 featured photos! My minis and my fingers are now printed in a book.
The hardest part of the entire project was holding the mini in one hand and trying to take the picture with the other hand. Yes, I could have asked my husband for help but then I would have just been yelling at him about angles and lighting, so I suffered for my art.
The purses were shot beside my dining room window on a roll of white paper from Miss Kitty's art supplies. Same spot for the pottery, but this time I used 40 year old water colour paper from my mom. The hunter boots (life size) are mine and I shot that on my front step because it was raining and I was trying to avoid getting wet!
I've been mini making quite a bit recently! And this coming Sunday is the Ontario Miniature Enthusiats of Guelph Area's Miniature Show. 10am-4pm. I will be attending! One particular vendor will have just shopped at the Tom Bishop show, so I can get some goodies without having to have traveled to Chicago.
