Magazine

We also bring you regular interviews with key artisans, all the top news and gossip and new product launches. Not forgetting great techniques, ‘how to’s’, top trends and fantastic competitions for you to expand your miniature collection!

Welcome to the April edition!

Easter bread • Add a classic twist to your seasonal miniatures with these colourful Italian Easter breads.

Coastal living • Enjoy the spring breeze and take a walk along the coast with Theresa Parker.

Silk flowers • Spring has sprung with these glorious blooms!

ENJOYING THIS ISSUE SO FAR..?

At Home with THE BROADWOODS FROM LITTLE ACORNS… • 2023 is a special year for the team at Petite Properties, as it marks their 20th year working in the world of miniatures. After Bea founded the business back in 2003, she explains how the miniature world has changed over the last two decades and how Petite Properties has evolved from a ‘one woman army’ into a flourishing family business.

Instagram identities: JULIE GILL @MINIATURE_FRENCH_CHATEAU • Readers may recognise this month’s Insta Queen, says Moi Ali.

Hoppy Easter • Hop into the world of Natasha Semenchenko this Easter.

Tool shed: roof and contents • This month we finish off the tool shed exterior from last issue with a shingled roof. Then moving inside, in addition to an ample workbench and storage solutions aplenty, we make a few tools to fill the tool shed.

Mini hacks • Hacks, we have all heard of them - and may have even tried a few - but do you know it’s true meaning? A hack is ‘any trick, shortcut, skill, or novelty method that increases productivity and efficiency, in all walks of life.’ Yes, that means your miniature life too! So, here are a variety of hacks that may help you along the way, be it when making, decorating, furnishing, displaying or shopping for your next piece.

Marrakesh magic • Moi Ali’s quick make Moroccan ideas can actually be used in many settings.

Crazy for Clarice • From heavy metal to pretty pottery, Moi Ali discovers why a former naval blacksmith turned his hand to miniature tea sets.

The fabric of Tudor life • Discovering the ‘material world’ of The House of Tudor with IGMA Artisan, Lilli Bass.

Shandy’s bar • Reader Jo Lockyer, from Bristol, was inspired by cocktail bars she’d seen while on holiday and wanted to make one of her own… which she named after her cat!

The Whole Kit & Caboodle: LASER CRAFTS BY MARK • Moi Ali reviews some deco-tastic kits this month!
