TW 9 and 10- Fairy Houses

Posted on April 9, 2018 by mimik

Forget-Me-Nots and Lily of the Valley decorate this cup.

This is a glass sugar bowl, I think? It came with a creamer which I will make into something another day.

Tiny Worlds 7 and 8

A bright yellow house. It is fun to use the same cup and using the colors of the decoration, come up with a variety of designs.

This Tiny World is made on a lovely cup with Paul Revere’s historic ride.

Tiny Snowy World Pincushion 5 and 6

Posted on April 7, 2018 by mimik

Winter in Boston didn’t show up this year until March! We had enough snow to cover the ground yesterday but it was pretty much all gone by this morning. I will be happy if I don’t see any more real snow until next November at the earliest.

This kind of snow I can deal with. And OOPS! Ignore that hair on my snowy hill!

Another tea cup with violets.

And a mid-century Modern cup and saucer, made in Germany and found in a thrift shop.

I am working hard to have a good selection of my work for the Smithsonian Show. I will be at the opening gala in less than 3 weeks! Because I am so focused on getting ready for the show, I won’t be putting anything new into my Etsy shop until May 1.

Tiny World 1

I went to a tag sale at a church in my neighborhood and someone had apparently donated their collection of violet decorated teacups. You will be seeing several pincushions ahead with violets!

Artist Boy Fox

Posted on April 3, 2018 by mimik

He is an artist of the wander-out-in-nature variety. He has a portfolio on a strap, a sketch book inside, and a pencil in his pocket.

He has a cashmere scarf and sweater vest.

He is the last fox for now. Next up, tiny world pincushions.

Woodsy Girl

Posted on April 2, 2018 by mimik

Maybe you are thinking that she looks a little over-dressed for April but it is snowing (again) out my window today. Enough already! I got a little behind with my posting this weekend but with the various holidays I figured it wouldn’t matter. Now, back on track!

Hiker Fox

A plaid fox because it is the perfect colors.

He is going out for a hike to do some amateur scientific research.

Here are his supplies from his backpack- a notebook and pencil, a map, a snack, and a bit of money.

Fox Girl with Aqua Sweater

Posted on March 29, 2018 by mimik

I take apart/cut up cashmere sweaters from the thrift store to make these sweaters for my foxes. I wash the cashmere but it stays soft and drapey, perfect for the way I use it. On this one, I cut out the sweater pieces so that the original sweater’s ribbing could get used for my little fox sweater. Then, I took off a ruffle that went all the way around the original sweater’s button front and neckline and sewed it on for this sweet girl. Now she has the fancy sweater! Also a silk bow.
