More from Patricia S. tonight

It was so nice to see Patricia's entry last night with three eager little girls trying their hands at their first miniature projects.  If we all tried to think of ways to engage more young minds in the hobby, the future of miniatures would be assured.

Patricia followed this entry with a couple more:

1. Make a mini from a material you have never used before

This past winter Patricia got to explore dry and wet felting for the first time, doing landscapes. First she shares her larger scale pieces on which she learned the technique...

And here she displays the lovely miniature felted wall hanging that she has titled "Sunset at the Ocean".

I've always wanted to try the felting technique to make a cat or a dog but have been a bit intimidated by the technique.  Starting out by doing a wall hanging - now that's a great project to begin with!  I may try my hand at it after all!

2. Build a piece of furniture from scratch

Patricia now used this newly acquired technique to make a half-scale rocking chair with felted seat cushions and a side table to match it to fit nicely in her fairy cottage.  The side table is modelled after the ones we made at Camp 2017.

Here we see the half scale table and chair next to a full-scale one.

Thank you for sharing these with us, Patricia.  It looks like you are having lots of fun working on your minis - and now to the big job of moving houses!  Good luck, Patricia.

Tomorrow we will explore the latest entry from Shelly A. as she shares another of her talented creations.  Thanks everyone.
