This series documents the ‘miniatures’ created by my Grandmother. I aimed to capture these tiny shops, markets, pubs and dwellings in a way that may evoke feelings of nostalgia and give insight into ‘how we used to live’, many of her miniature set ups represent a bygone era, home baked bread and tables set for family meals are for many now a thing of the past.
The collection of photographs may appear to be similar to those from a tourist trip, like a record of the places I have visited, and some will look like images from inside a home, holding childhood memories. However the photos explore the years my Gran has dedicated to inventing and constructing another world. I wanted to create a series of images that is playful and could tell a make-believe story but also delves into the idea of memory and loss.
This miniature box is made from Black Palm. It has a delicate and elegant finial made from American Holly .
The body and base was turned in a pleasing shape from the same piece of wood. It was hollowed and fitted to accept the graceful finial. Opening or closing is smooth & easy with the snugly fitting finial.
This type work really is a form of miniature artistic and decorative sculpture that is made on the lathe. In wood turning circles a box is round, not square, so this is also a true lathe-turned box and can be used for storing or hiding away all the mini secret treasures normally kept in one.
It was polished with a natural shellac and wax base finish. This one of a kind turning that will stand alone in any collection of miniature turnings or miniature artwork.

I made one of Julia S Pretl's miniature triangle boxes and felt it was too big to really be a miniature, so I made my own version.
it's my first one ! Made from a vintage House of Miniatures kit . it's a shame they no longer make them as I realy had a fun time . I think I may have to start collecting the kits.
I took this of the little miniature shelf that holds my thimbles and sewing knick-knacks. I collect thimbles from all the places I have visited on vacations.
The work of Montreal-resident David Kucer, over the past 40 to 50 years he has built about 70 miniature guns, they are fully functioning except for the fact that there is no ammunition for them... full size here
They are built to exact specifications (taking up to a year) using the same material as used originally for the full-size gun, including the ivory... Conforming to international regulations against poaching, they have to use antique ivory only, the main source for antique ivory is old pool balls from the 1920's and 1930's...
And the obligatory website... www.kucer.com
