back to miniatures

Moshe Samter- Great mini world

Today I met a special person,natural charmer full of energy,loves company and laughs!
He is 94 this year .
He always made some crafts always trying something new.
Until he landed in the miniature world . He did bookbinding,leather works and other DIY fields .
He makes every display out of scratch ,venir,cardboard,fabric and leather scraps and all nature can offer- seads,shells ect.
.He is a natural talent.
He and his family built a private museum where he shows his lovely art .
I made as many photos as I could to pass you the experience.

Real leather binded books. The open book is the gutenberg bible.

 Haifa sea stones combines into "virgin island" statues.

a synagoge

 On one pannel Moshe explains and demonstrates his methods.

His tiny circus reminds me on the Alexander Calder circus I've seen in a kinetic toy exhibition.
If you are in Israel,go see this museum in Yoqneam.

Christmass around the corner

It is ages since I posted here, but this year I decided to make an effort.

I came across this toothpick holder and loved it :

Thanks. Looking forward to hear from you soon.

Photography classes made me dive again.

I take photography classes since late last October.
When I had to choose my end of term subject, it was clear to me , it would be the  Minis.
So I dived right back as deep as I could and came up with these two bed rooms .
In both, Pattie Jonsonsons four poll bed is reigning.

This is the Black& white sceene.

The following is more flamboyant and includes a hand crocheted bed throw and a washi tape background  decoration.
