A warm and hearty welcome to Barbara, Lainie and Gonda. It's such a pleasure to greet new followers!
I feel we speak the same language.
A very Happy New Year to all of you generous, sharing and encouraging people.
Here is my Clock shop to remind us all of time passing. This will be my last post this year.
Except for the grandfather clock, which is really a pencil sharpner, I made all the clocks from fimo and ceramic clay.
Will meet you again next year, 2011

In the middle shelf of this little shop window are four Peruvian musicians, the size of a fingernail. I could not resist buying them at that time and now I only wish I bought more. I believe they are made of bread dough.
On the shelf, beneath the musicians are a pair of Peruvian traditional dressed dolls. They come as a brooch.
The little train on the top shelf are tiny pieces of wood painted red with black sequins for wheels. The monkeys were once a pair of earrings. The little houses are painted over Kinder prizes.

A warm welcome to Natalia, Neomi, Nuria, Oese, Rosamargarita, Sonia and Rosanna. Thank you very much for following my blog.
I had a drawer full of these little ceramic teasets and bought these six cute metal chairs from a lady here who recently started importing miniatures from Taiwan and selling them on E bay. Added 3 pizza separators tables and painted the chairs and tables black. The tiny coffemaker is a present from my daughter Galia and so is the hutch. The rest of the furniture is tongue depressors' wood and other pieces of stray wood at hand. I believe the size is l:24". The ceramics are my work. I used beads for lamps and vases. Cakes are made of fimo. The room itself is made of plywood for the wall and floor, foamcore for the walls. It's covered with clear acetate.

Hope everyone had a jolly good Christmas with family and friends. I wish we had a little snow here as well but the weather keeps being warm as if no winter is due.
The first is a pet shop. I made everything inside, the parrots cage and the parrots, the fish tanks (tic-tac containers cut with black lines painted on their edges). The animals and the chicks are made from little fuzzy balls.
The second is an oriental shop. I made the little carpet, nargilas (oriental smocking devices) from beads,
the knives and shoehorses from fimo. All the rest were are bought pieces.

Christmas bells come in many sizes. They are very cheap, I bought one dozen for l shekel (The equivalent of 25 cents of a dollar). These bells if you take out the inside swinging part make very good planters. I painted mine terracotta.

This Chrismas tree is made of empty water bottles. It is located in downtown Haifa and in the background are the Bahian gardens on the slope of Mount Carmel.

A warm welcome to Lara and Susi, thank you so much for following my blog.
Years ago I bought this cute set of furniture from some charming ladies of a club in Lima, Peru. They had made beautiful hand crafts in this club all to be sold and the money donated to the Red Cross. This was before I even dreamt that one day I'll become a miniaturist. I kept the set in a drawer and one day, built this box to exhibit it. I added the standing lamp, the little petite point carpet and picture which I designed and also the two other pictures. The little beaded dog I bought recently, that's why he's standing outside the box.
