I think the little white one is a Shetland pony, while the other is a New Forest pony, both can be found in the forest although most of them are of the New Forest breed.

I went into the archives to find something for a fake tilt-shift effect. My pedestrian attempt, I'm not sure it worked. But maybe I've been looking at it too long.
Happy Cliche Saturday
At only two centimetres in diameter, this continental silver, reverse glass painting and guilloché enamel brooch is a miniature piece of art. Of Austrian origin, it is marked on the reverse with the number 900, it is made of 90% pure silver and is only just shy of 100% quality sterling silver. Many high-end jewellers in Vienna made 900 grade quality silver jewellery for the wealthy upper-middle and upper classes during a period of great economic and cultural growth between the 1890s until the outbreak of the Second World War. Turn of the Twentieth Century Vienna is also famous for its love and support of the Jugendstil movement (the artistic style that arose in Germany and Austria about the mid 1890s and continued through the first decade of the 20th century, deriving its name from the Munich magazine Die Jugend (“Youth”), which featured Art Nouveau designs), through famous institutions such as the Wiener Werkstätte (Vienna Workshop), established in 1903 by Koloman Moser and Josef Hoffmann, and artists like Gustav Klimt and Emilie Louise Flöge who were supported by wealthy patrons and philanthropists like the Bloch Bauer family.
This year the FFF+ Group have decided to have a weekly challenge called “Snap Happy”. A different theme chosen by a member of the group each week, and the image is to be posted on the Monday of the week.
This week the theme, which incidentally will be the final weekly “Snap Happy” theme before reverting to monthly on the 5th of December, is “anything at all… as long as it is small” which was chosen by me.
The stylised Art Nouveau woman in this brooch is painted in reverse directly onto the glass, an art form with its derivations found in Middle Age Central Europe, which reached its zenith in the 19th Century when painting on glass was widely popular as folk art in Austria, Bavaria, Moravia, Bohemia and Slovakia, but was also taken up by highly skilled artisans who created fine miniatures using single hair brushes. This brooch is one of the latter. The finer details in the forefront of the image you see were painted first using a single hair brush, followed then by the blocks of colour filling out the image using various brush types and thicknesses, building up the image in reverse. This brooch is unusual and was probably more expensive or may been have been a commissioned bespoke piece because it has a brilliant yellow guilloché enamel background. Guilloché is a decorative technique in which a very precise, intricate and repetitive pattern is mechanically engraved into an underlying material via engine turning, which uses a machine of the same name, also called a rose engine lathe. This mechanical technique improved on more time-consuming designs achieved by hand and allowed for greater delicacy, precision, and closeness of line, as well as greater speed. Translucent enamel was applied over guilloché metal by Peter Carl Fabergé on the Faberge eggs and other pieces from the 1880s.
Two phases can be discerned in Jugendstil: an early one, before 1900, that is mainly floral in character, rooted in English Art Nouveau and Japanese applied arts and prints; and a later, more abstract phase, growing out of the Viennese work of the Belgian-born architect and designer Henry van de Velde. This brooch is definitely of the pre-1900 phase both because of the image of the young woman in the brooch, but also the foliate filigree work in the silver mount.
The flower cake is the only cake I drew before. It just came to my mind. I'm not too sure why, but I draw it and made it :)

Tried to make a miniature Silkstone display but had to just make a different graphic for the background as I couldn't duplicate the original one. I used accetate for the plastic case. This project is probably my favorite from the lot.

The wooden tools pictured here were beautifully made by hand by master woodworker Frank Weisner in Australia. I have waited a few months to get them, but they are certainly worth the wait. To give an idea of scale, the sewing frame in the center is only 7 inches wide. The most coveted tool is the lying press and plow on the left, which is used to trim the edges of the book block before the covers are added. The standing press will come in handy to apply the initial pressure necessary after glueing the covers. The other tools on the right are a corner rounder which is not much used in miniature bookmaking (it was sitting on the shelf so whatthehell), and lastly my Schärff-Fix leather skiver which is a must have tool for leather binding.

I believe this is in the Hemimycena family, to give an idea of size the little moss covered twig it's growing on is about as round as my little finger, making it a few millimetres big.
Hemimycena is a genus of fungi in the family Mycenaceae. The genus has a widespread distribution, and according to a 2008 estimate, contains about 50 species. The genus was described by mycologist Rolf Singer in 1938.

Katie is our Miniature Schnauzer that we rescued from the Humane Society nine years ago. She is somewhere between 11 and 13 years old.
I am having way too much fun with the simple dollhouse. I had the luck to find a little plaque in a box of stuff I bought at a sale, and decided that it might do as a miniature table! Legs? I suddenly thought about pegs! Faved some on Amazon and THEN? I turned around in the art studio- and there was a brand new pack of wooden pegs that I don't think I have ever seen! NO idea where that came from! I had to dremmel off the peg end, but the height worked just right!!
I have to admit I am more lacking in the furnishings ideas . . . Where I lack in this, I am making up for in the little conservatories/greenhouses I am making! Oh my! Stay tuned!! :)
