This miniature city is created with (mostly) 4x4 modular segments that each can be rearranged to create different cities with unique infrastructures. Cars can drive on the roads, boats can navigate through the canals and underneath the functional bridges and the train follows the railway simply by pushing it!

I'm back from a looong hiatus! ;)
I finally set up my first dolly house last weekend.....Yotsuba's room. (I still don't have B's to take care of, heehee! Y is lower maintenance.....you just change hands & heads, no colors to match, no preppy accessories to worry about.)
Thing is, my fingers keep on hitting stuff and I keep on dropping parts! By sundown, I was all set to take photos, but I've lost my lovely, all natural, daylight. So I have to contend with my OTT light (shameless plug! And thanks to Ms. dorothyalice213's "Dot's OTT" inspiration! I bought it at 50% off btw ;P).
I put together Y's favorite things. Her own collection of mini-dollhouses. She's not an obvious Hello Kitty collector, isn't it? And my oh my, her bag preferences are fabulous but well beyond her age, and means! Girl, how much is your weekly allowance?!!!
The room's her own wonder land. But mommy put a scary reminder by the door to always keep her room tidy. HA!

This year I was assigned to host our doll club meeting for September. I prepared these handmade gifts to give away to the other 7 members of the club. I had to make them when my baby took her nap during the day or late at night when she’s in bed. For a whole month, I scanned, took pics, photoshopped, prototyped, printed and assembled these paper miniatures. I only made the ones you see in the pictures, and had our club members make the doll boxes as a craft project for the meeting. All effort was worth it seeing how ecstatic our club members were upon seeing their gifts.
I got the idea from Rogier Corbeau’s work during the Barbie Convention. He created this really awesome store diorama for the silent auction which sold for $3,400! Thanks to Jim Taylor too for posting his work on facebook for me to oogle at.
The shelves were made by etsy seller Mihail.
*I do not have plans of selling these as I don't want to get in trouble with mattel, but once I find the time, I am considering uploading some of the graphics so you can make them yourselves.
We are GO FOR LAUNCH!
My new interactive eBook is now available to purchase on my website: davidgilliver.com/product-category/books/
I hope anyone who buys it enjoys the read, and I hope it becomes a really useful learning and teaching resource for anyone who loves photography!
Thanks,
David
p.s. thanks to everyone for helping to make last week's online book launch such a success :)

Exhibit titled Mount Davis Squatters by Tony Li, part of Unique Hong Kong in Miniature Exhibition.
You can use heads and bodies of visitors in the background to gauge the size of this miniature model.
Squatter residences were built illegally in the past using iron sheets and timber. Their inhabitants had mostly been relocated to public housing estates.

This miniature rooster was popular among the visitors at the Gaya Street Sunday market. I am not sure if he is a potential meal or a pet.

I wanted to try the fake tilt-shift lens (aka miniature) effect again, so here's a photo I shot a while back in argentine square in tehran,iran. it's treated in photoshop to mimic the effect.
updated: original photo here.
Work in progress
I am sampling a miniature outfit for my new exhibition piece. It's tiny ( less than two inches high) and is made from fabric, paper and hand and machine stitch.
Only two more outfits to go!
Spent today at "Miniature Fair". Met some dolly friends and bought lots of stuff to Villa Bastet. This is most of my haul. I really like that orchid on right: very realistic ( will end up to be Euro Auntie's apple of her eye.)
The funniest item is a book named " My basic rights in European Union"- it's a real readable miniature book: but my near sight is too bad to read it :-( ( But I bought it to my dolls anyway, lol)
My first attempt on the Tilt and Shift technique.
