    It looks like she even made every separate piece of candy in the store. I'm impressed!

      Carnivorous plant yeah, most miniature artists are very attentive to details . There are many more like her, but her miniatures are far better in my opinion.

    This is one of the most bittersweet, and inspirational, things I've seen in a long time. Thanks for posting it!

    Special thanks to this young lady! She is doing a valuable service to her culture. So many times, people only think of culture & history as the far past, & fail to realize it continues to evolve right around them.
    Thanks also AO, for making it possible to see & appreciate her art.

    She is an artist, historian, documentarian and visionary. Wise beyond her years, on her way to philosopher and Nobel laureate.
    She is impacting her world. A woman impacting her world.
    WOMEN IMPACTING WORLD!

    I love the art of miniatures, but to replicate history this way is astounding. Brilliant and stunning.

      Isn't it incredible! It must take so much time and patience.

    • @karatefylla
      @karatefylla 6 лет назад

      Yeah, I really wish I had that kind of patience and confidence in my ability. I might try to do something like this. at least the material isn't a huge financial loss if you mess up :D

    You are a true artist. Love your work. I was involved in miniature art during my early teens back in the late 1970s. I made sofa from fabric and sponge, kitchen utensils from wax, etc.

    I have the same idea with my urban photography... I have my pictures/videos to remind me of those buildings that are now gone... Excellent segment 👍🏽

    This is beautiful! I'm so happy to be seeing this. I wish there were miniaturists that were doing this everywhere. So much of the old world is disappearing and it's nice to be able to look back on it for future ideas.

    Wonder if she will include the graffiti to give a authentic feel for the neighborhood she is recreating?

      @atlasobscura  5 лет назад +1

      Mini graffiti would be very interesting to recreate, for sure.
