Glass paint

I bought these beads at the KDF ( wish I got more....) The gold ones had holes that I added glass paint with a toothpick. Once dried I added the gold top.

Here are some great tutorials I found at about.com from trees and ornaments. Been working on some, will show and tell soon.

KDF miniatures

Here are few of the minis I purchased, I just love the elephant's hair-do

and of course pots for my plants :)

I will post more of what I got for the dining room soon.

Kensington Dollhouse Festival Dec 2010

Just returned from London, absolutely thrilled! I attended my first dollhouse show and I am filled with awe, inspiration and delight.  After 10 years of seeing miniatures on the screen I was able to see people's wonderful work in person. I am absolutely going to try to go again. The weather was perfect, no snow, I was a bit worried as the BBC news in Greece painted such a bad picture.





I got to meet Georgina Steeds, a wonderfully warm and friendly lady and saw her plants face to face positively gorgeous. She has a new blog you can now get her news on fairs, workshops and kits.

Anthoula was also there, both of us smiling from ear to ear, she is returning on Monday and cant wait to meet her for coffee and share our experience.

Today the kids will be at school and I will take pictures of the miniatures I was able to purchase. As I am sure everyone has had this: there were a lot more that I wanted to purchase, far too many temptetions ,lol! I was glad I had a list with various options and kept to it.

Thank you KDF organisers it was a wonderful experience!

Anthoula did it again!

Anthoula spoiled me yet again , absolutely beautiful mini sweets made into earings, unfortunately my photography does not do her work justice.

Thank you Anthoula!!!
