Victoria, B.C.
A view in the window of a place called "Miniature World." I didn't go inside, but I liked this scene which looks like Switzerland.

Well it is back to work.
Picture is a PS tilt-shift from our summer vacation in Venice.
The miniature effect is better viewed large.
I will post some of the shots I got during our stay in this wonderful city.
I store my miniatures in IKEA KUPOL boxes. They are really nice quality and come in different stackable sizes. There is a whole wall in my apartment dedicated for them, haha...
My system is:
- each box gets a complete series, including multiples (which means that sometimes I need to buy the larger box, depending on how many individual sets a series has...or how big the items are)
- boxes are sorted by company (Re-Ment, Megahouse, Orcara, Bandai, MIMO, T for Candy, Others) and by release date (from bottom to top and left to right: oldest to newest)
- I keep all leaflets/papers in the boxes for now, but I wanted to shrink-wrap them for a while now
My husband made a Minipedia for me to keep track of my sets, with names, translations, tags (like "food", "red", etc.), release date, company, etc. and the option "have"/"need". I still need to take a ton of pictures for it, though...but now that I'm a stay at home mum I might have more time (or at least daylight) for it!
Portreath is a small resort located about 5 miles north of Redruth. It was once a busy port, importing coal and exporting copper but today only the occasional fishing boat shelters in its very narrow harbour. Copper ore was at one time transported from mines in the Chacewater area. Horse-drawn wagons were originally used for this task and the ore was then shipped by the ton to Swansea for smelting. On the return journey the ships would be laden with Welsh coal. The narrow harbour entrance was difficult and tremendous skill must have been needed to navigate sailing ships into and out of the port. Some of the ships would be carrying well over a hundred tons of ore.
At Portreath there is a lovely sandy beach with a stream running down to the sea on the left hand side. The beach is very popular with families and like many beaches on the north Cornish coast Portreath is also very popular with surfers. Bodyboarders arrive at high tide on big swells to surf the harbour wall, or Vortex, as it is known. At low tide there are rock pools to explore and a fairly large natural swimming pool in the rocks. Gull Rock sits majestically in the sea and has been the subject of many photographs over the years and a variety of sea birds have made the rock their home
Portreath has a small assortment of shops and cafés but it is the holiday trade which is now the bread and butter of the village
These miniature cakes (1 inch diameter) are totally handmade and ready for rings and pendants.

Sol Duc Falls Trail, Olympic National Park
The landscape of the Pacific Northwest was full of unforgettable poetic vignettes. Tiny steams and miniature waterfalls were among the most enjoyable ones of all, and I certainly could not move my eyes from them.
Another attempt at fake tilt shift photography, this time of the train the runs between the 5 Cinque Terre towns; here in Manarola, Italy.
Even though I had better light in this shot, I think I prefer my first attempt better.
To get full effect, please see large on black.

This is A5 with a miniature christmas kitchen scene drawn in gel ink. I do loads of miniature drawn scenes, this is a scan of the original which I gave as a framed picture to a friend for christmas. I love drawing them but they always end up looking like my kitchen!

Continuing our miniature Oribana project... and here is our mini-oribana called CAPRICE from the Oribana Delight collection.
The vase is just 2 inches (5 cm) high and the whole Oribana arrangement is just 4.5 inches (11cm) high.
The starring paper plants designed by Katrin are Orchid Pleione, Daisies, Yellow Lobelias and Pine Tree's Branch. The container design is Vase 'Caprice' by Yury. Used wonderful Japanese papers for plants and Swedish paper for the vase.
Note for origami enthusiasts: The step-by-step diagrams on how to fold the composition are published in our ORIBANA DELIGHT
