I decided to abandon my old method of storing my miniatures (using shelves - www.flickr.com/photos/spilth/211401021/in/set-72157594351... and start using plastic bins for them. The bins allow me to still keep them sorted by type, but forgo keeping them sorted by size and count. Keeping them sorted by type, size and count makes them really easy to find, but extremely annoying to put back. Now my friends and I can just put them back in the correct Type bin and be done with them. It makes finding them a little bit more time consuming but I think it's a good trade off.
I also decided to move my books to the other side of the room and maybe get rid of the book shelf on the opposite, thus giving everybody a little more room around the table during games.
This is a nice example of the kind of miniature cross stitch embroidery that is created in the Mazahua community of San Felipe Santiago in the state of Mexico. This piece measures 5 inches by 7.5 inches

A Persian miniature is a small painting, whether a book illustration or a separate work of art intended to be kept in an album of such works. The techniques are broadly comparable to the Western and Byzantine traditions of miniatures in illuminated manuscripts. Although there is an equally well-established Persian tradition of wall-painting, the survival rate and state of preservation of miniatures is better, and miniatures are much the best-known form of Persian painting in the West. Miniature painting became a significant Persian form in the 13th century, and the highest point in the tradition was reached in the 15th and 16th centuries. The tradition continued, under some Western influence, after this, and has many modern exponents. The Persian miniature was the dominant influence on other Islamic miniature traditions, principally the Ottoman miniature in Turkey, and the Mughal miniature in the Indian sub-continent.
The themes of Persian miniatures are mostly related to Persian mythology and poetry. Western artists discovered the Persian miniature around the beginning of the 20th century. Persian miniatures uses pure geometry and a vivid palette. The allure of Persian miniature painting lies in its absorbing complexities and in the surprising way it speaks to large questions about the nature of art and the perception of its masterpieces.
