I'm still patently waiting for my Fellow submission to arrive back. It was apparently posted last Monday so I've got everything crossed that it arrives soon...I just don't trust our postal services too much & despite asking for it to be sent insured so that it could be tracked, it was sent ordinary airmail! I was cleaning out some old files on my comp today & came across pictures that I took to send with the pieces...I had forgotten all about them! What it is to be going senile!
If I could only learn to work with Photoshop, I'd have put them all together in one photo...one of these days I'll get round to it, but at the moment I try, swear like a trooper when it all goes wrong & then bin hours of work that's got me absolutely nowhere!
I know I've said it before but Zara Thomson Ribeaud http://www.zarathomsonribeaud.com/ makes the most fantastic baskets, 2 of them are pictured here( & I might add, the pics just don't do them justice!). The plate displaying the asparagus was handpainted by Christopher Whitford & supplied by http://www.swanhouseminiatures.com", the beautiful crystal cakestand was made by Jim Irish, a former master cutter at Waterford Crystal & the cooling rack for the cherry pie by Carol Lester in UK.
It was an expensive business applying & I'm not sure that if I hadn't succeeded, I would have been submitting again! :-))
Keep everything crossed for me that this parcel is not one of the thousands that go missing!

They all look so yummy ^^
Exquisite as always! I cannot begin to imagine how you make these delights. I'm sure that grouping several into one pic would make a stunning presentation but it's nice to be able to enjoy them one by one, each the star of its own little show :)
Make sure you let us know what happens with that mail and we can all breathe a collective sigh of relief!
Lovely lovely work. I would go crazy with worry till they were back with me too! I hope your wait is over soon. Hugs~ Kim
I love the asparagus dish!
Hope it comes back home soon, safe and sound. :)
Exquisite is also the word I was going to use!!! Your work is beautiful and to think of any of your work getting lost in the mail would be a sin!
They are all so perfect Linda....I would love to sit and watch you make these amazing pieces....perhaps one day!!
Regards, Linda

WAUW! Lost for words... stroling around the internet I am pleasantly surprised to stumble across very talented miniaturists and their gorgeous creations. But evry time I think it can't get any better i am blown away... This time in particular!
Still lost for words to praise your dedication, skills and your exceptional level of execution...

Hey Linda, they look GREAT!! My favorite is the very first piece- the croissants and pastries- uber realistic and so flaky looking! You submitted a good mix of different things, sweetie!
