The Creative Doll

Final Notes on Japan Days on Miniature Group

We are so lucky on the Miniature Doll List to have many talented miniaturists let alone with doll makers.  I thought I’d share today some of the final finished vignettes and a tearoom that was fairly special, too. 

Deb Laue of Dragonfly International (http://www.dragonflyintl.com/shop/) carried quite a few kits as well as offering several kits for free.  These included a floral sprig of Cherry Blossoms, a static hanging kimono, and several other miniatures cut and play accessories. 

Debbie Jones of Kitz! Miniatures (https://www.minikitz.com/ )also had some special kits prepared for displays.  The most wonderful Kimono Stand is true to scale size and displays the above kimono beautifully.  Plus, she had a teapot stand with cups and teapot, darling geta, Ikebana bowl and plants, a wall scroll (that said Fall Down 7 Times, Get Up 8), and other special items. 

When so many of our members participate and add kits and "printies" of their own it makes for a really special project.  Our members took advantage of all the kits and made some wonderful vignettes to show off the Japanese themed month and added to their collections.  I wish I could post them all. 

What beautiful and creative ways to display miniatures.  

See you next week.  In the meantime, Have Fun!
