Tiny World Flowery Houses

Posted on August 12, 2021 by mimik

This one has a thatched roof and hopefully an English Cottage look.

And this one inspired me to try some new flower patterns.

I’ve added the first 6 cups into my Etsy shop here.

Tiny World Fantasy Vacation Spots

This mug came from the same friend who gave me the demitasse cap in the last post. It is a different design and just as beautiful.

I might make another one of these tents before I finish this batch. We shall see how long I stay motivated! I liked how the campfire turned out. This is the last campsite cup I made.

Two Woodsy Tiny Worlds

This cup and saucer came from my friend Betsy who was cleaning out her Mom’s apartment. It is a small, demitasse or espresso size.

This cup (below) was from another friend. Another house being cleared out. It seems like the pandemic inspired a lot of clearing out of stuff.

Tiny house, tiny town, tiny world!

I have acquired some very pretty teacups in the last year or so and I’m excited to turn them into something new!

I got a shoebox full of these cups and saucers from my neighbor who was clearing out her house.

And this teacup (below) came from the one thrifting expedition that I have done in the last 18 months or so.

It is fun to completely change gears! Of course changing gears in my world can be sort of messy…

And I have grandkitty Hattie staying in the house these days- she is helping me out :-)

Greenman 2

He is the last fellow for now. It is time to do a massive studio cleanup and move on the other things.

He has got all my vine-y fabrics!

He has an antique button- I think maybe bone or horn?

Just a little bit of fancy on his boots-

Greenman for Summer

Greenman with an embroidered leafy beard. He is the perfect symbol for the extremely wet July we’ve had here in the Boston area.

Bird and vine tattoos.

This fellow needs to spend a little more time out in the sun!

Awesome beard action and dark green eyes.

Who wouldn’t love a giant vegetable tattoo!

I like these wood buttons.

July Art Party

Posted on July 20, 2021 by mimik

I am doing another Art Party Central event, this Thursday, July 22 at 3:30 and 7:30 Eastern Time. Would you like to come and join in the fun? RSVP here! Or go to the site and RSVP from there. Why should you come? Because you will get a 10% off coupon for MY SHOP and might even win a $50 gift certificate!!! I will talk about my work for a least 5 minutes (lol) and show details of the work. You can ask me questions. And you can see some other amazing artists- it is a virtual Zoom Craft Fair. I’d love to see you there!
