It's supposed to be me! She made it from Fimo modelling dough and then baked it in the oven. See how she cleverly replicated the amber beads which I used to wear ALL the time (and still love) and the Doc Martin boots (which have long gone).
The world of miniature fascinates me - hence my devotion to naff fridge magnets and toy-towns.
What fascinates you?
The figurine in miniature is really cute! - and I love such things too. I saw Italy in miniature when I was in Rimini (Emilia Romagna) and it astonished me. So careful in details and precise.
ReplyDeleteWhat fascinates me... well, I saw them in Naples and Florence too. They are people, static on the left or the right side of the streets, wearing odd clothes and maked up like statues - which don't move for any reason unless you give them a coin. Then they take a magic dust (silver stars) from their sleeve and lightly blow it on you... I think French people call them "les attitudes" - they fascinates me so much, they really seem living statues and they also add bright colour to the local folklore.
We have those "statues" here in Winchester, Michela - and yes, they are brilliant.
ReplyDeleteAs for Rimini - I went there as a child and later as a nurse and loved it - if only I'd known about the little Italy.....
