Small things thrill me! I love to make miniatures!
OK, so here is an example of something tiny I worked on while embellishing issue #3.5 of my art magaZine Beau Ideal. These are tiny replicas of 2 of the inserts in my 'zine.
The mini book, is a mini version of an already mini zine. I call them zinelettes. Well this is a micro version.
The mini purse is also a micro version. Do you know how SMALL these are???
Look at the following picture of them ON A DIME! YES! A DIME!!!!

*I am so thrilled!* I used my big fingers, and was able to do this and many other goodies by hand!
They fit inside the mini charm version of my zine. The mini zine is 1 and a half by 15/16ths of an inch!

  3. Amber,
    You're the BEST BEST BEST!!! And I've told you that before so you know I'm not saying it just to get the charm. But PUH-LEEEESE give it to me. Gimme gimme gimme! You know how badly I wanted to be part of the mini-book swap and couldn't, right? (I hope extreme whining gets you extra points...) {{grin}}
    Your biggest fan in all the world,

  11. Amber Dawn,
    Obviously you are an amazing artist and I have a feeling I will learn alot from you. If I win, I would like to donate this charm to the member that is ill and in need of a bone marrow transplant. While I would love to cherish this item for myself, I believe it would mean so much more to her and her quest to live. Cathie-chicago
