We added another miniature painting to our "Before Photography" collection. It came with no information and the mounting appears to be original and we are reluctant to try to open it.
More tilt shift fun. This is a view from the Sears Tower in Chicago.

And if you like this one, I recommend you have a look at antiapathy's summer version
February 13, 2021 - Miniature Pansies at South Coast Botanic Garden on Valentine's Weekend. Photo Shoot with Leticia Hernandez, Ayla Qureshi, and Dora Lee.
In the same garden as I found the daffodils yesterday. I adore Irises, either miniature or the full sized ones.
Thank you for your favourites. :O)
From the Ferris Wheel at Knoebels, looking down on the Downdraft ride, people look like scale models due to the tilt capabilities of the special lens I used to capture this image.

This group of students was on a tour of Gettysburg. From the tall tower at Culp's Hill I captured a tilt/shift image of them making them look like scale-sized people.

Miniature abandoned kitchen.
The scene is done! :)
Inspiration : my mum who loves to photograph abandoned spaces and often takes part in the 'lost spaces' tours in Berlin; Lori Nix, whose work I adore; history of humankind (we've been through a few ends of civilizations already); the sublime (beauty in what is technically ugly)
Goods : a kitchen I made a few years ago but I didn't really like anymore. The fridge was found on ebay, the sink I bought in a miniature shop in Barcelona.
Why? : I have a fascination for abandoned places, in the sense that they show what's going to be left when we die or go. They remind us of our inevitable end. And also that things (and vegetation) will outlive us.

I really rock sometimes, if I may say so. (I know, I don't suffer from modesty).
I finished my initial round of miniatures for the Momoko kitchen. Mostly, they are what you saw in the work-in-progress shots, plus some random bits, like yogurt tubs made from toothpaste caps.
YAY! It's just like old times in Russia, when I used to make everything for my dolls (except now I have Google, and Photoshop, and a good printer, and graphic design skillz ^_^ )
So. Who wants to know how I did these buggers?
Ok. On the left we've got 3 tubs of yogurt. Labels came from trawlling the Google. The lids were sort of winged - I took part of the side label and filled in where it needed it to make it into a circle. The templates were made by the age-old respected tradition of winging it. I was all set to remember my geometry, and even recalled a couple of formulas, and then I was like, oh, wtf, and wrapped a piece of paper around the cap, traced the borders, and scanned the sucker.
Cans and jars came with the furniture set. I painted the tops and bottoms with silver for the cans, and the jars got golden lids. Labels are from the internet for the jars and the tomato cans. The canned fruit labels I designed in the best traditions of Re-Ment - instead of "Del Monte" the label reads "Ful Monte" ^_^
The soap thing came with the set. It used to be lavender ^_^ The bottles started out as dirty ivory.
The dressing bottle started its life as a hard liquor from Gloria set. I decided to rehab it, because I feel that its shape is much better suited to be a dressing bottle.
I designed the labels for the bags. I decided that one will be string beans and the other - fava beans. The apples had to be red delicious. The UPC codes had nothing to do with anything, they're probably not even scannable at this point.
The Southsea Miniature Railway first opened in 1932 as a 9.5" gauge line operated by a pair of Bassett Lowke 4-4-2 steam locos. After the war it was taken over by new owners and reguaged to 10 1/4" and operated by a pair of steam locos built by Guest and acquired secondhand from Dudley Zoo. The railway was a huge success .....for example, over 7,000 passengers rode the train over the August bank holiday weekend in 1946.
During the late 1940s/early 50s a company called Southern Miniature Railways built three similar steam locos - 'Valiant' and 'Victory' went to Southsea while the third, 'Vanguard' went to their own railway in Poole Park...in 1951 they also took over operation of the Southsea line.
In the early 1960s the railway built a couple of petrol locos and the steamers were sold off in 1964.
The railway closed at the end of 1976 and the two petrol locos were sold to the railway at Sandham Castle on the Isle of Wight. The line at Southsea reopened the following year as a 17" gauge third-rail electric operation. In 1985 it was rebuilt back to 10 1/4" but finally closed in 1989.
The two old petrol locos were later scrapped when the Sandham Castle railway closed down. The steam locos, Valiant and Victory, spent some years in a scrapyard before being rescued, the best bits of the two were incorporated into one locomotive and this now runs on a private railway in Lincs.
Where was the railway situated? The station was located close to where the aquarium now stands. It then ran down beside the sea wall towards Southsea Castle where it turned around a loop and came back again. Back then this area was known as Children's Corner and in addition to the train there was an outdoor swimming pool, boating lake, amusements and even a zoo. Everything is now gone and apart from the aquarium the remainder of the site is now just an empty field.

I have always wanted a miniature book and I finally have one. This is Bijou Illustrations of the Life of Christ. I think the tiny engravings are amazing.
No cover but all the pages are there. They also published things like an almanac and punch cartoons, I would rather have had those but I am not grumbling.
(Sorry about Kizzie's, or is it Ruby's, butt in the background lol)
The Re-ment Addicts Group did a Color Theme Challenge quite some time ago, but I didn't have time to do it. I was inspired by all of the great photos they did, so now that I have a lot of time on my hands, I decided it would be fun to do. I am going to do the whole rainbow, and probably post way more photos than I should!
I couldn't resist, I had to put the tiny model together & this is what it makes. I think it's a spaceship or a time machine or something like that. They didn't make it so it so the pieces actually click together & stay, so I glued them. Now I have to decide if I want to buy another set so I can have one that isn't put together.
