Continuing our miniature Oribana project... and here is another artwork for a miniature version of our Oribana composition called INSPIRATION.
The featured floral designs are Katrin's Orchid Lycaste & Blue Lobelia, playing tiny orchids, and yellow cluster of Yuri's Catkin with blades of Grass. The container design is Katrin's vase called Inspiration.
The vase is just 5 cm (2 inches) tall, The smallest blue flower, folded from 2-cm (3/4-inch) square, is just 12mm (1/2inch) in diameter. The whole arrangement is 4-1/4 inches high (11 cm).
Used a variety of Japanese papers here; Moriki Kozo and somegami for Orchid Lycaste and Catkin, origami paper for the rest of flowers, greens and the vase.
The step-by-step diagrams on how to fold the composition are published in our ORIBANA BEAUTY

There are inserts for the tea canisters, but my set only came with 2. It came with an extra insert for the tea cups, so I guess someone at the factory screwed up.
Edited in Lightroom 4 and Nik Color Efex Pro to enhance the color and contrast and create a miniature / tilt-shift effect after the fact.

I've spent a lot of money on these things. I even created a database to keep track of them: www.spilth.org/dnd/minis/collection/
Maybe one day I'll get around to actually using them again.
Oh, and this picture doesn't even include all the Humanoid figures I have.

A miniature Rex the Hamster in his tomato soup can with his exercise wheel in the screen covered aquarium. Screen is removable. 3" wide, 2" tall, and 1¾" front to back. Made by me. Aug. 2012.
Do you know who "Rex" is?
This is a miniature sash for my exhibition piece "What shall I wear today - who am I?"
I machine embroidered this one inch piece and then added the words using a pigma micron pen. The fringe was coloured gold using ink as the gold machine thread looked too chunky when worked.
Only one ( or two) accessories to work now and then the piece is complete - a week before schedule.
It's odd what can happen to plans - I should have gone away for a week but the heavy snow has put paid to that idea. Still a happy day in the studio soon dispersed my gloom and as I have stocked up with supplies I can now have a quiet and productive time at home.

Our Museum
Visit our museum and allow yourself to be transported into delightful magical miniature worlds. The museum’s collection contains over 600 miniatures including room boxes, houses, and exquisite individual items that have been created with painstaking attention to detail. Museum exhibits change each quarter.
What are miniatures?
Small size copies of familiar items have existed for thousands of years. Over 40 centuries (yes, 4,000 years) ago miniatures called burial figures were placed in the tomb of Meket Re, a powerful Egyptian official from the Eleventh Dynasty. These figures were sealed in the tomb and were meant to set the stage for Meket Re’s next life. The Egyptians believed this would allow him to carry his lifestyle with him into the next world. Indeed, miniatures have appeared throughout history and are still created today.
The museum’s collection contains hundreds of miniatures including room boxes, miniature houses, and exquisit individual items. Also included are collections that may be tiny or full size. These rotate throughout the year.
Our Story
Three Indiana artisans created the museum in order to preserve and display scale miniatures and antique dollhouses, and to introduce this art form to others. The vision of these three women was to insure that collections of quality miniature room settings, houses, and individual pieces would not be lost to future generations.
Thanks to the support and enthusiasm of volunteers, over seventy thousand visitors from all over the world have toured the Museum since it opened in 1993.
Children comprise one-third of museum visitorship. Through miniatures, children learn the concept of architectural scale, the decorative arts, and the importance of detail.
Whether it's the miniature reproduction of Hoosier athlete Major Taylor's bicycle or an example of the beauty of the exterior architecture of a Victorian home, the Museum of Miniature Houses is a fantastic place for adults and children to enjoy the arts, history, and crafts. It is a museum of fine arts in miniature. Museum exhibits change each quarter.
A new design was born in our paper garden - Yucca flower! :-) Got the inspiration from the Land of Enchantment, New Mexico, where Yucca is the state flower. So continuing our miniature Oribana project... and here is our new mini-oribana called ENCHANTMENT !
Especially designed for our upcoming exhibition in Albuquerque, NM, this origami Yucca flower will be a part of our 'Albuquerque Kingdom' origami display at Pacific Coast Origami Convention in Albuquerque this October where Yuri and I were invited as special guest-artists. Check it out - origamiusa.org/pcoc2013 :-) By the way, the exhibition will be at the Marriott Pyramid Hotel and on Saturday and Sunday, October 5th and 6th the exhibit will be free to the public!
Besides this brand new Yucca, the composition is featuring our design of Low Bowl-Shaped Vase. The vase is 3.5 cm (1-1/4") high. Each tiny Yucca flower, folded from 4-cm (1-1/2-inch) square, is just 15mm (1/2inch) long. The whole arrangement is 4 inches(10 cm) high.
Used a variety of Japanese papers here, origami paper for tiny Yucca blooms & leaves and gorgeous chiyogami for the vase,
Note for origami enthusiasts: The step-by-step diagrams on how to fold tour Yucca flower will be published in the convention book PCOC-2013 and will be in the convention package. See detail at origamiusa.org/pcoc2013.
As for the vase, its diagrams are published in our ORIBANA DELIGHT collection
