AIM Members News 2012 ~ Dateman Books

Terry & Anne from Dateman Books have been working hard over the last few weeks to finish the first two of their commemorative books for 2012.  The first book is The Life and Works of Charles Dickens which commemorates the 200th anniversary of his birth. 

The second book is RMS Titanic, commemorating the tragic maiden voyage of the ship. Terry and Anne explain that they are particularly pleased with this book. For the first time, they have added a flyout allowing them to show the ship spread over two pages which allows the reader to open them up and see the inside of the ship.

Both these books can be purchased online at;

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;

Meet Our Members ~ Adora Bella Minis

This weeks 'Meet Our Members' post introduces the talented Joy of Adora Bella Minis.

Joy sculpts and then dresses 12th scale character dolls which are sure to bring a little humour to your scene and guaranteed to bring you a smile :)

Joy sculpts older folk, children, wizards, witches and custom requested dolls. She has also recently started to sell undressed dolls via her website, but be sure to be quick, these delightful characters don't hang around for sale long, before being snapped up by her avid collectors! When Joy can drag herself away from her love of sculpting dolls, Joy needle felts the cutest little 12th scale bears and mice.

 

All Joy's dolls and needle felts are OOAK - One Of A Kind and can be viewed and purchased from;
