Welcome to Kitty and Kat
Miniatures. This blog is a journey into
modern miniatures, through creating, collecting and sharing.
I am based in Toronto, Canada,
which has a vibrant miniature scene. We
are fortunate to have several miniature clubs and shows located in the greater
Toronto area.
I would define my miniature
collection as both modern with a bit of contemporary. While you won’t see a Victorian styling of
miniatures here, I do have a love of older, more traditional miniature accessories. My miniature collection has grown to hundreds
and hundreds of pieces, including those of artisans.
I create my modern miniatures by
hand; furniture, accessories and dollhouses. It’s the challenge for realism
that drives me. My favourite part of
creating is place in the item in a “mini scene” to fool the eye. Is it real? Or is it miniature? Social media
has also allowed me to showcase my collection and attempt to fool my followers
with miniature realism.
I have been extremely fortunate
to have taught miniature needlework; published miniature tutorials in magazines;
published my work in a miniature book, and to have had my projects featured in
numerous miniature magazines. It’s been
an amazing journey so far.
Follow along on this blog and my
various social media channels to see what I’m creating, teaching and
showcasing. This modern miniature
journey will become your latest obsession.
