Thank you!

Thank you so much!

And in many cases, mine included, insurance is no longer covering a rheumatologist because, Fibro isn’t classified as a rheumatic disease. I just am so over our crappy healthcare system where insurers decide our care.

Why should any of us have to leave our homes, families, and friends? I choose to stay in my home and the community I’ve invested in and to fight against the tide of corruption and oppression. I love my home and my neighbors and abandoning all red states is exactly what many want from us.

Up close shot of a very tiny shelf with miniature table linens, decorative plates, and a Dutch oven and teapot on top in red enamel. Scale is 1:48

Filling up the shelves in my tiny kitchen store. Glimpse of the attic in the background. So close to completing this piece. Stay tuned for the big, or more accurately, tiny reveal of the whole piece.

1:12 scale monstera plant created from wire and painted paper in a little planter made from paper and wrapped in twine.

Creating tiny things brings me joy and teaching others how to make tiny things brings even more joy. The world seems bleak this week and choosing to create in this chaos is an act of resistance and strength. 1:12 scale

Just in case you were wondering!
Lock in!

Not sure 100% but they might be Halloween masks of Harold Lloyd, who was a huge silent film star. I found similar items with a cursory search. What a wonderful image relic to discover!

Leading to a 42% increase in likelihood of petting, canoodling, or snogging.

Watch paint dry.

And then compounded by experiencing grief over and over with every loss. Loss of friends, loss of time, loss of creativity, and feeling that everything is passing by. The most brutal form of fomo.

One of the hardest parts about being disabled, in my opinion, is being someone who wants to do everything but being stuck in a body that struggles doing anything.

Love nail stickers for minis. Brilliant result!

Sometimes you just need to make a tiny bookcase! Bookcase and books are created from thin chipboard and painted. Created today for a 1:48 scale work in progress.

The Oxford comma is the very pinnacle of refinement, discernment, and professionalism. The frequency should be of no concern to others unless they lack taste, couth, and proper manners.

Even if the result of the prompt is pretty or interesting to view, the soul is missing. Indeed even micro bits of our physical bodies reside in a painting or sculpture or whatever medium, imbuing the art with humanity that AI generative art will always lack.

A cigar box that has a miniature bar scene created inside. Sign says Charlie’s Tavern, Cheap Libations, Tall Tales, Bostalgic Tunes. Scene displayed includes a whiskey barrel, bar stool, and guitar. Beer ads on wall and tiny liquor bottles on a shelf. All created roughly in 1:12 scale.

Created this bar piece in a cigar box for my wonderful stepdad. He loves whiskey, beer, and playing guitar. He loves this little piece and shows it to everyone. He’s my biggest fan.

A wee piece called Market Day. Cauliflower and cabbage created from cold porcelain clay and each one hand sculpted. Crate and basket also created by me. I wanted the piece to look like an old still life.
