AIM ~ Artisans in Miniature now have a blog http://artisansinminiature.blogspot.com/ It has been set up by Vicky of NJD Miniatures & will feature AIM members newest creations. So why not take a look. 
I've really enjoyed making Nuns. Why?......I'm not sure. A friend suggested I did the whole cast of A Sound of Music 
From left to right is Sister Teresa, Sister Bernadette & Sister Francis. I have plans to display them on a park bench eating ice creams.
*Click on Nuns only if you want to be taken to my website *
I have excepted a commission for a doll which will stretch me. She’s the Danish singer Birthe Kjaer.
I’ve ordered some fabric & trims & will start her as soon as they arrive. I’m a bit nervous about making this doll, but the gentleman has requested her made in my style, so hopefully he understands what he might get 
Just got Alf finished this morning. I’ve been wanting to make him since I got the old fashioned camera about 6 months ago off eBay. So he’s final out of my head 
I think he would also look good as a travelling salesman, so might have a go at a briefcase this afternoon.
I’ve not done much needle felting since I’ve start dollying, but a couple of commissions have seen me with my felting needles out once more. The bears are five way thread jointed (even the 2.5cm tiny white bear) so they can be displayed how you want.
I’ve made the cat basket out of twisted crochet cotton and then it was given a light spray with starch at the end. The cats head will turn so he can keep a beady eye on that tiny toy mouse. Hopefully they will be on there way to there new home after the postal strike has come to a end. I’ve got one more commission to start a 12th scale Wire haired fox terrier which I’m hoping to start in the next few days, but i think I’ll have to get at least one doll made before as the clays beckoning me once more :)
I’ve also got a couple of new dolls finished. Lily with her zimmer frame. Alice in Wonderland & Little red riding hood (both commissions) Roger gazing into space as he puffs on his pipe and dreams of days gone by.
I made Lily’s zimmer frame. She is for sale on my website.
The little basket & dressed up by me was made by a good friend Beverley Read. Her work can be seen here 
http://www.d-a-m-e.com/page72.htm These two are going together to the Netherlands.
Roger is gazing into space as he’s dreaming of days gone. Roger is also for sale on my website.
Before I start my next needle felt. I’m going to do one more doll a character I’ve been wanting to do for ages. I’ll post a photo when he’s finished. Then I must get back to felting once more.
I’ve made a little striped 12th scale slipover in 1ply and written the pattern out if anyone would like a copy please visit my website. www.adora-bella-minis.co.uk
