    Such a treat to see some of your collection up close, the folks at this exhibition are so lucky. I love how the curated boxes are unique but work in harmony as a set, that’s your eye for colour and interiors. You truly have one of the finest collections of miniatures made by talented crafts people, yourself included. Thank you for making this accessible and sharing with enthusiasts who cannot afford or are unable to collect themselves. Your vlogs are a delight and I love to watch and learn. Thank you ❤❤❤

    such beautiful beautiful pieces you have!!! And so miraculously detailed (like those WORKING clothes pegs!! My word!). I love the little cat in the basket - I almost expected you to have a fish on the table or drying on the rope above, that she would be staring at, ready to steal and hide somewhere! I think my favourite roomboxes were the pink sewing room and the blue 17th-century inspired one: the oysters and the glass goblet (with typical 17th-century prunts!! amazing!) are gorgeous, and the painting (looks like a Vermeer, but close up and backwards - who did you say it was by?) is wonderful! I bet the visitors to the show will be delighted to have a closer look at all these treasures! Kindest regards, k

      Oh those clothes pegs...those are amazing! I think they came from Dieter Dorsch in Germany. Great idea to have the cat staring at some fish 😂 Yes, many people seemed to like those two roomboxes.
      The oil painting is by Jaap Wijtenburg. He paints original paintings, mostly in the style of 17th-century masters. He's really good. I love his work. 😃

    I love the sewing and knitting. Its such a lost art. Its also very historically revelant in minatures. Thank you again Josje. 💓 Oh my, I absolutely love those socks. What a piece of art history.

    • @MakeMiniatures
      @MakeMiniatures  2 месяца назад +1

      My pleasure Tara. I think sewing and knitting, especially here in the northern part of Europe, has been making a huge comeback. Much helped by RUclips I believe. I follow a few sewing channels of people who use old sewing techniques and research and create historical clothing. I've always found it fascinating. 😃

    Alison Davies has some incredible wallpaper this year. You can also download. But her finished wallpaper I ordered is better than any other. Susan Bembridge has amazing wallpapers. But I really appreciate the print quality of Alison. She prints on a very high resolution and looks very realistic. Something about the ink she uses.

    Hello Josje, I can't choose a favourite they are all beautiful, but I do really like the small one with the table with the food. you have some beautiful pieces, what will you do with them after the exhibition ? They would make lovely temporary seasonal display boxes, or a way to display some of your miniature stash .
    Have a lovely weekend.
    Best Wishes from Yorkshire, England 🇬🇧 😊

    • @MakeMiniatures

      Hi Diane, that small one was also popular at the show today. Most of the pieces live in my dolls' houses normally and I just put them in the display boxes so I could bring them to the show. I'll probably keep them in the boxes for a few months and display them like that before I put them back. They are nice boxes for temporary displays. It will be very nice to display some of my miniature stash that hasn't found a home yet! Especially since they have glass fronts, that will keep everything safe and clean. 😃
