FOR THE ATTENTION OF AIM MEMBERS

Calling all AIM Members....

I have opened a 40th anniversary album for anything appropriate to celebrate all things new in February, Ruby or red related, love and valentines, anniversaries, flowers and food - the gate is wide!
Any suitable features or projects are also very welcome. Got a new tool you love? A new mini book? A new technique to try? Why not share with it with us?
There will also be a new small scale album opened by Janet Smith.
Please fill these!
Your input is greatly appreciated.

AIM News 2012 ~ AIM imag update

 

It has been brought to our attention via comments left on previous posts, that some people are disappointed in the fact that the AIM imag is not currently being published online monthly and that there is some confusion as to when new issues are coming out. May we take this opportunity to remind our faithful followers that we are working hard behind the scenes to bring you new issues of the imag, but this is done in our own time, on a voluntary basis and around our own personal, lives, jobs, etc. Every page in every issue of the AIM imag is planned and edited. Every article is planned, the item is made, then photographed, accompanying text written, then it is uploaded to the Editing Team who format, edit and then apply it to the magazine template. This is turn is then edited before a final check that it all looking lovely and then the online uploading to publish begins. Again, this is all done by the AIM members who kindly give their time for no payment, to bring you what is a wonderful, informative and packed imag and Christmas Advent Calendar.

 

Sometimes, life can interrupt this freely given time and the AIM imag is then put on hold until we are happy that we can provide a new issue of the AIM imag that will be a pleasure to read for our loyal readers.

 

Future issue dates of the AIM imag will now be given here the week before it is due out and don't forget you can always check out the AIM imag Archives by clicking this link Artisansinminiature/ Archives  You can also keep up to date with AIM Members News and Dolls House Fair dates which AIM members are exhibiting at, here on the blog. This blog is updated twice weekly and again on a voluntary basis!

Here at Artisans In Miniature work has begun on the next issue of the popular AIM imag and behind the scenes our volunteers are beavering away formatting and editing the wonderful features, stories and news that will be in the next issue.

 Like Kay Brookes article on Scale; 'Size Does Matter' where Kay shares with us her adventures in dollmaking... from Barbie size scales to the tiny 1/24th scale!
