Here is an outfit that I made from scratch. It’s meant to fit Barbie and 1/6 scale dolls. A Soom Mini-Gem Uyoo models the outfit in these photos. The cape was made by following instructions in Venus A. Dodge’s book The Dolls’ Dressmaker. The cape is made from a red sparkly spandex material and is lined with red felt. The horns on top of the cape are made from air-dry Makin’s Clay that has pipe cleaner armatures inside the horns. he dress was taken from a skirt and top pattern set that was originally created for the RnD Angels and was published in the February, 2006 issue of Haute Doll magazine. The pattern was reduced in order to fit a 1/6 doll and the outfit was converted into a dress by sewing the top and skirt together. The dress is made from a red cotton fabric with a tiny black gradiated pattern.
Gold scale ca. 1880, from the First National bank of Yankton. The precise measure allowed miners to use unrefined gold dust as a medium for exchange. (at left) Buckskin gold poke, ca. 1880, used to hold miner’s find. Miners often wore these pokes around their necks to hide them from thieves. (at right)
Breakout Session: Scaling Impact Enterprises
Creating energy from landfills, connecting women-led coffee cooperatives with international buyers, verifying medications by mobile phone. The audacious ideas of social entrepreneurs can change the world, but critical barriers often inhibit these ideas from getting off the ground. While social entrepreneurs confront challenges typical for most entrepreneurs—such as access to capital, markets, and talent—by virtue of their business model they face added obstacles. Already expected to deliver on ambitious social and environmental returns in addition to financial returns, they also contend with greater institutional investor skepticism and appeasing a wider array of stakeholders. Social enterprises have nonetheless experienced significant growth, with traditional and impact investors committing more than $10 billion to these companies over the last four years—tripling their investments.
In this session, successful social entrepreneurs from around the world will share challenges from their work, as well as opportunities they see to achieve greater impact by scaling impact enterprises. Leaders from the private, public, and civil society sectors will also discuss how CGI members can:
• Design innovative approaches for impact enterprise talent recruitment, development, and retention.
• Define, measure, and communicate the social and environmental impact of social enterprises.
• Incorporate impact enterprises into their supply chains.
• Scale programs that support women and minority-owned enterprises.

I made a half scale fireplace out of Sculpey clay. It didn't end too well.
Blogged about here: amazingminiatures.com/blog/half-scale-modern-fireplace/
I took a photo of a small soccer ball toy in the water. It looks strange because the ball itself is much smaller than a regular soccer ball, thus it appears as though the waves are large
I think this photo shows scale well, which I find really hard to do in general, and extremely difficult with a cameraphone. It's a bit blurry, but what are you going to do? You can't have it all. EDIT - I can't have it all.
The bridge in the foreground is the Stone Arch Bridge in Minneapolis. The building in the background is the rather dramatic Guthrie Theater.

Afghan National Security and International Security Assistance Forces conducted a clearing operation in Ormuz district, Helmand province, yesterday. The operation lead to the discovery of 616 pounds (280 kilograms) of wet opium, 88 pounds (40 kilograms) of concentrated fertilizer, narcotics paraphernalia, and a pressure plate. This combined operation was conducted at a bazaar in the Ormuz district in order to disrupt narcotics and insurgent activity in Central Helmand. The 280kg of wet opium was found to be worth under $50,000 locally. (Courtesy photo)

After getting new fenders and "rusting" them, this is the completed upper body. Completed two hours before the modelers show.
A fly-covered man waits for customers to step onto his scale in exchange for some rupees. While this man seems to have some wares to sell as well, it's a common sight to see someone with only a scale (and often not as modern as this one!) as their sole means of generating revenue.
