A Peek Through the Keyhole of a Miniature Artisan!

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to take a closer look at the working environment of a professional miniature artisan? If the answer is yes then take a peek at pages 72 - 75 of August's AIM magazine where Julie Dewar of Westwinds Miniatures takes us on a guided tour of her workspace!

At nine I went to school to learn how to paint oil paintings.
I then attended the University of Visual Arts, and learned to tinker with various techniques.
In 2002 I started making miniature porcelain cold initially. Also in 2002, I joined a group here in Brazil and learned to make plans on paper. Later, I got the furniture with wood or cardboard and tissue paper. That turned into doing many other miniatures.

Now, I have been making polymer clay food, always trying to learn how to improve more.
