This calligraphy page is written in nastaʿlīq script.
This is an album, in the form of an accordion book, of Persian and Indian calligraphy and miniatures, as well as two European prints, assembled in the thirteenth century AH / nineteenth CE. It contains fourteen illustrations, two of which are ascribed to Bihzād (fol. 2b) and Riz̤ā Muṣavvir (fol. 6a). There are also bird and flower paintings attributable to the late Zand or early Qajar periods, as well as late Mughal portrait paintings. There are numerous calligraphy specimens in various Persian scripts, such as Nayrīzī-style naskh, taʿlīq, nastaʿlīq, and shikastah. The majority of these calligraphic compositions (in Persian and Arabic) are signed by Iranian calligraphers of the thirteenth century AH / nineteenth CE, such as Muḥammad Ṣādiq al-Riḍawī (Riz̤avī), ʿAlī al-Ḥusaynī, Muḥammad ʿAlī, Muḥammad Kāẓim Kulpāykānī (Gulpāygānī), and Muḥammad Kāẓim al-Iṣfahānī.

Okay, I am NUTS for miniatures. It has always been this way. When I went to museums when I was a kid, my parents had to literally drag me away from the miniature rooms. Seriously, if I hadn't of been so tired, I would have photographed every one of these. I'm crazy about them and they're beautiful!
As a theatre major, I had to take miniature-building classes, in order for building theatrical models of scenery and stuff. I learned a lot of good techniques and tricks and had a lot of fun, but this is so far above my level of expertise, that it's mind blowing! Haha.. anyway, yeah, I've spent like 3 hours building a tiny chair before, so I can't imagine how much work went into these.
I should note that when photographed well, these rooms are indistinguishable from an actual, full-size room.
I made this permaculture inspired miniatures by polimer clay.

The Watford Miniature in Cassiobury Park near Watford (Met) station is a 10 1/4 inch gauge line which opened in 1959. My visit on 17 September 2019 took advantage of the experimental weekday opening through September, which, I was told, would not be repeated as it has not been commercially viable. The loco seen here is "Conway Castle", a diesel-hydraulic built in 1972 by Fenlow Engineering for use at Prestatyn.

Yes, my friends things appear to be the star of the photos this time around. She has a fabulous collection of miniatures that I just couldn't resist. Life + A shrinker = Love.
Which means a mix of everything haha. Handsculpted all of these tiny treats for a special commission, because the lady would like to gift it to her sister who bakes all of these frequently.
These goodies all fit into a glass bottle and is made into a necklace. What a sweet idea. :)
Which is your favourite?

Miniature garden tools which form part of 'Cathy's Flower House', a model I am making. To give you an idea of scale the watering can is 23mm tall and the trowel 25mm long.
This is the same model which I posted the instructions at www.flickr.com/photos/bruce82/52649992617/in/dateposted/ to illustrate 54 of 123 pictures in 2023 - Instruction.
