24th Scale by Bear Cabin Miniatures

AIM member Julia Jeffreys of Bear Cabin Miniatures has recently made some tentative steps into the world of 24th scale. Julia's first passion in miniatures is 12th scale 'blackwork' embroidery, but recently she explained that she has been turning her needle to the smaller 24th scale. Shown above are her 24th scale cushions which are a little smaller than a penny coin and below are some of her original 12th scale 'blackwork' cushions photographed on one of her popular reupholstered Victorian style sofas.
