miniatures sunday february 28 2016 the heart of the miniature matter fix your eyes on perfection and you make almost everything speed towards it william ellery channing i want to introduce you to a long gone miniaturist who obviously was obsessed with perfection at least that is what shows up in his work his name is frank matter and he passed away in 1977 during his lifetime he made the most incredible miniatures everyday things copied exactly working and of course without the use of computer graphics i first read about frank in the old nutshell news i lot of his items were in the collection of john and ellen blauer i n that article was a description of a fountain pen made ex actl y like a real fountain pen rubber bladder and all can you even imagine anyway i was aware that adell venus collected miniatures as far back as the 1950 s she was a customer of mine became my friend an d al so told me she had that fountain pen s o i knew she had a lot of fr ank s things i was luck enough to get just a very few things of frank s from adell s auction and below is one looks like a very nice bathroom scale right but guess what w he n you press on it the dial ac tuall y moves so a dollhouse in habitant might very well check her w eight each morning the scale is metal i managed to learn a good bit about frank f rom bill robertson who happens to be an inc redible miniature artisan himself just have a peek see at some of his amazing work on e of his stories abo ut frank involves the worl d s smallest pipe that frank advertised in magazines luckily i got one out of adell s collection he sold things in those gel atin capsules and i am probably the first person to touch th is pipe when i removed it for photogra phing pretty sure adell left things as she got the m and just put them away it is in point of fact a working p ipe a ccording to bill t he kansas city museum has a large collection of frank matter s creations i have not yet been but if you get there make sure you get to see these miniature m iracles and if you have seen them tell me about them in the comments please here a re a few other bits i managed to acquire just as an fyi remember that frank was working long before computers and printers and these tiny bars o f soap are hand painted s ame goes for the cigarettes you do tend to see lots of sewing things about all over in miniatures but none so perfect looks like to me frank used ivorine or celluloid to make the thread cards the little thread storage piece turns to let the spools out clever there is much more to frank matter these tiny little scraps that i am so lucky to own are just a minuscule example of what he was capable of he worked in wood silver paint ivory and included furniture games musical instruments toys clocks and more he also made a 1 48 scale house and created nearly every item in the house including working clocks paintings and a tiny silver tea service there is very little about frank anywhere on the net and i am happy to bring him to your attention so what do ya think posted by patricia paul at 1 53 pm 12 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels 1 12 scale 1 12 scale miniature adell venus bill robertson frank matter patricia paul working miniatures world s smallest pipe sunday february 14 2016 making minis with idris elba psych sorry for that but in a way kinda true i watch listen to netflix while working and my latest was watching listening to the british drama series luther while i worked idris was right there with me so i wasn t lying actually here s what came out i put together this paleontologist s paraphernalia cute little mastodon skeleton model right books fossils too if you d like to own it here ya go while i am not an animal maker i do give it a shot now and again this sculpted afgan hound is furred with alpaca fibers this was a hit and miss project that took more than several episodes of luther i have done one of these before and this one is a bit different the original is one of my most popular pins on pinterest so another one i got this industrial barrel in an auction lot of stuff i wanted and this was extraneous to my needs i thought it needed some toxic waste and some bird houses don t like the roof on the first one so have since ripped it off but now i have run out of idris most of this will be on my ebay signed up for

reinvention of daily life means marching off the edge of our maps bob black i have a feeling if you are like me you march off the edge of your map daily by that i mean we start off with one project and by the end of the day are way off the trail a long way from where we started i wake up thinking about miniatures and pretty much go to bed the same way this usually entails what i plan for the day and then what i never got to that day i was working on some chairs recently that i wanted to reupholster and had all of that spread out on one work table choosing fabrics for several pieces had me stumped so i looked for a distraction then some tea sets i had ordered caught my eye these were meant to be made up into magically pouring tea sets like this oh and there s some finished chairs here s another one the customer who won this on ebay said she was disappointed with the quality of the chair bespaq because it s light weight and cheap and small again bespaq and not worth what i paid for it i thought it would be oversized and not so cheap looking once again perfectly scaled bespaq i told her to return it for a full refund never heard from her again when this happens i have to think they were trying to either get a partial refund or a full refund and then get to keep the piece not but i digress and am off the path again as you can see so there are the tea sets they are commercial pieces that i bought online or on ebay and the quality varies widely with one set being much too big for 1 12 scale i have an order for a magical set but couldn t decide which to start with and ended up not starting but someone had inquired about a dormouse in a tea pot and i had just gotten this new modeling compound called bees putty from germany i sculpted this mouse in the too big tea pot because sometimes too big is just right and the bees putty is pretty neat stuff would you tell me please which way i ought to go from here that depends a good deal on where you want to get to said the cat alice i looked back at the tea sets thought the silver tray was too big and thou ght maybe it should be painted to go with some italian pottery i had done recently actually these were another wandering wh en i came across so me turned wooden pots and some larger terracotta pots i got in a lot on ebay because i wanted the stra wberry plante r in the l ot w hich i broke as soon as it arrived i came across them many a time and finally came up with something to do with them while trolling pinterest so th e tray got a coat of gesso black gesso i do love the black stuff i never went further with the tray because i got distracted again i put away the fabric and tea sets getting pretty crowded on all 3 of my work desks and decided to clean up the whole lot i probably don t have to tell you that once you start th at 25 other projects present themselves pl ease tell my i m not alone post your wanderings below posted by patricia paul at 1 48 pm 12 comments email this blogthis share to x

miniatures museum quality miniatures friday november 13 2015 shopping at the philly show in the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter and sharing of pleasures khalil gibran i must say i do enjoy when other bloggers share their show findings and purchases so thought i might try that out here i attended the philadelphia miniature show last weekend which is actually in new jersey in a very tricky to get to hotel just for the day on saturday in missing the preview i lost out on my most desired items i won t mention them here because well i lost out i will say there were only 2 dealers who i wanted to catch and those 2 were just about sold out by the time i got there the show is not at all what it used to be sadly i suppose partially due to the economy and of course the internet so many top drawer artisans missing lots of smaller scales available too not for me but popular when you start running out of room but for now tables that i could skip here is a better review of the show by susan grimshaw anyway to business i came away with a lot less than i did back in the day but as mentioned missing artisans and the internet which is now a juicy place to acquire miniatures a gift horse so to speak if you will animals are such agreeable friends they ask no questions they pass no criticisms i cannot control myself when it comes to animals and it looks like i did it again in one form or another i have a pug collection and could not resist this one by sarah hendry carried by karon cunningham pug by sarah hendry i found this little monkey and the tiny mice at kathi kuti made by kathi the monkey will go in my toy shop he is just about 1 5 inches high i also have a monkey collection i once raised a monkey for helping hands an organization that trains and places monkey helpers for the disabled the mice are porcelain and can go anywhere and i do like mice i also had some pet rats at one time i had a really good look at henny staring egberts table and while she has some widely expensive pieces some are less than one hundred dollars and her work is exceptional and i walked away with these gorgeous pieces and that tiny dog just 75 of an inch high yes again with an animal i did also buy some inexpensive bits and pieces for future projects that need transformation of some sort birds and animals for repainting and some kits because i wanted to see how kits are made and packaged maybe i ll make some one of these days so if you attended the philly show what did you get tell me below posted by patricia paul at 6 22 pm 6 comments email this blogthis share to x
