Have you read our latest edition of the AIM IMag yet?

It is packed full of wonderful miniature delights such as inspiration on village life, photography, a place for pets and a Miniature Eye on the Hebrides.

 

We also do regular features on our members online blogs and websites. This time we featured Linda of  the

 

 'Miracle Chicken BlogSpot'

 

 

 

Currently, on Linda's blog, she has been telling her followers about a new belt type sander that she has made to help her in her miniature work. Take a look, you'll be as amazed as me at this lady's skill in turning to hand to tool making. Its brilliant, well done Linda.

 

 

Christmas delights from Homewardflight

It is always a delight for me to open an email from Sadie of Homewardflight Dolls House Miniatures. Sadie makes the most amazing artisan OOAK 12th Scale food and my latest email from Sadie continues to confirm her passion for detail.

Sadie explained that capturing the spirit of such a special time of year in miniature is something she looks forward to every year and whilst Christmas itself comes and goes all too soon, it is so wonderful to be able to hold on to those magical moments, captured forever in 1:12th scale. Whether it be the excitement of the night before Christmas and leaving cookies and milk out for Santa, with a few carrots to make sure Rudolph doesn't go short or a centrepiece of fresh fruit and nuts, capturing that moment when the house is burgeoning with all that festive food waiting to be eaten and the celebrations to begin! Take a look in Sadie's Etsy store or visit her lovely blog for more details on her wonderful 12th Scale Christmas offerings.

AIM Members News 2012 ~ Keenderson Miniatures

Introducing AIM member Glen Anderson whose interest in miniatures goes back to his childhood, when he built model kits. As an adult, he had an interest in building furniture, but no room for a workshop, and so miniatures were a natural fit! After working on pieces as a hobby for several years, Keenderson Miniatures was formed in 2008.

Glen uses traditional cabinetry techniques to create miniature furniture and accessories. In the past, he has been inspired by Federal, Art Deco, Arts and Crafts and Modern Design, but it is the challenge of working in scale that always draws him forward to new projects.

Glen's work, with his amazing attention to detail can be found on his newly updated website at;
