Hobby Show primavera 2014

Da un po' di anni l, una delle fiere dell'artigianato e dell'hobbistica più famose in Italia, si presenta in un doppio appuntamento annuale a Roma.
L'appuntamento autunnale è il più conosciuto, quello primaverile lo è un po' meno ma è pur sempre ricco di corsi e materiali.
On February the 28th, March the 1st and 2nd an Italian fair, HobbyShow, will take place in Rome at Nuova Fiera di Roma and I'll be there with other miniaturists at ADMI (Associazione Dollhouse e Miniaturisti Italiani) stand.
There will be some short classes, for the list wee here.
The other miniaturists are: Celidonia with her amazing sculptures, Le Miniature di Eurosia with her wonderful works and Cristina Stacchini with her lovely workd, all in 1 inch scale.

My classes are two, a little shabby chic shutter

Celidonia's tiny mice

Do you like mice? And do you like miniature mice? I would like to introduce to you Daniela Messina's mice. Made with great attention to details, they are expressive and look so real even if they are made out in polymer clay and high, on their feet, about 1 cm (0.4 in).

The mice in the pictures below are arranged inside candle holders that I've made just for them.

Daniela gives the magic touch to these works and you can visit her blog CelidoniaStudio to see a lot of other Daniela's wonderful miniatures.
You can see her little treasures in person at Miniaturitalia, the only Italian dollhouse (and other things) fair.
Not lose this mini-magic meeting ;)
