I have to say, I recently found your channel and now I am thoroughly obsessed with it all! I don't have a dolls house but I so enjoy watching you do yours and I enjoy the trips you take us on! Truly amazing I had no idea this existed! Thank you! I'm in the US.

Welcome Andrea!! It's lovely to hear you've discovered the miniature world and are enjoying it. There are several museums in the US with wonderful miniatures in their collections. Also some of the big miniature shows (or fairs) are in the US. Lots to discover! 😃

Beautiful miniatures, especially the Henny Staring-Egberts basket, but then I have a weakness for Delft Blue porcelain! And of course the other pottery items… Idske

You and I both Idske! 😉

What an adventure you just took me on. I can't imagine having the privilege to meet with them incredible artist who create such treasures. The diaper basket you purchased was my favorite masterpiece. I was so thrilled to see it became yours. They ivory pieces were so beautiful and unique. I know we would never want an elephant hunted down for it's tusks, but elephants also die of old age and various other reasons besides for profit. When I see a piece of ivory, I am reminded of the majesty of the elephants and I don't believe the beauty of them should be destroyed any further. Thanks for enveloping me on wonder. You are truly a gem. Watching in Oklahoma, US Barb.

One of the best things about going to a fair is being able to meet and talk to the people who make these beautiful pieces. I always really enjoy that. As for the ivory, I absolutely agree with you. It is a difficult issue, even though the ivory used for these miniatures is old. Thank you so much, Barb!

I'm almost drawn more to details like the back of the painting than the front. It was a wonderful painting.

You're welcome! It is something I always want to know: who made it?

Thank you for sharing. I've never been to a minature show. I may go to the one in Atlanta, Georgia this coming February. My granddaughter will be born a few weeks before the event. So...looking forward to the month!

What wonderful events to look forward to! It sounds like February will be an exciting month for you. 😃

Oh thank you Josje for sharing your fun adventure to the show! It looks wonderful, I love the Porcelain basket, one day I will get one of her tulip vases I love them!

@MakeMiniatures Жыл бұрын

You're welcome, Tanya. Ah yes, the tulip vases are so wonderful! I would love the big one, but that's a bit (well, a LOT rather 😅) out of my price range.

Ach wat jammer! De show is nu maar één keer per jaar helaas. Leuk hè die flip flops?!

Thank you Josje for sharing your shopping trip. Leuk, and so much talent on show! It is a long way from the south east of Australia but maybe one day I can attend🤞

My pleasure Coby! Yes, it's a bit far for you 😉 Maybe one day when a holiday and the show overlap.

WOW, just WOW. Why can't we find such absolutely awesome items in the US. I especially love the miniature marble. How is that even done??

@MakeMiniatures Жыл бұрын

Good question! I think the marble is cut with a water-cooled saw. I'm not sure though. I know that Trees, the lady who sells the marble, will be at the Chicago show in April selling her marble for the last time. Many of the exhibitors you saw in this video will be there as well, so if you have a chance, make your way to `Chicago this spring! 😃

@@MakeMiniatures unfortunately that is way to far for this old person to drive to. But I can dream right?

@MakeMiniatures Жыл бұрын

Ah yes, that's a pity. I've never been to the Chicago show either. Flying and staying there is very expensive. But I'm lucky we have a good fair in my tiny country. That fair is on the other side of my country, a two-hour drive for me (which we think is quite far 😂). Well, thank goodness for the Internet!

@@swearenginlawanda That's a long drive! Unless you make it into a short holiday I can imagine you or your spouse are not up for that.
