Hope everyone had a nice Easter weekend..

And the winner is.. Diane Segura. Hope you love your book Diane. I will be mailing it out this week. Thanks so much for participating everyone. I will be having more drawings in the near future. My facebook fan page has almost hit 1000 and I will probably have a drawing around that time.

On another note...

Recently I made a special order miniature photo album. Had lots of good feedback when I showed the photos.

So I decided to make one for Etsy.

I will also make you a personalized photo album with your own family photos. If you are interested in one you can purchase it on Etsy here:

 The album will hold about 22 photos.

 

Bespaq Ginsburg Library set with Leather Bound Books

Decorated with lots of books and papers the Ginsburg Library set by Bespaq.

Really love this Library Desk. Wasn't really sure my books would do it justice. These books are more realistic than my normal "fantasy" books.

 Handmade turned brass and wood ink well set. I bought this a few years back off eBay. Never really had a desk I thought would do it justice till now. It is singed "Wane" I think. Maybe one of you knows the artist. If you do let me know and I will be sure to give him credit here.

 Gold wax seals on old aged documents.

You can buy my loose leather books here:

Many Many Butterflies

A few new butterfly minis to show. Cutting out the little guys took me way longer than I figured. Last time I used a kit. But I wanted some new verity this time so I made them myself... I always think of these as something the Doctor would have in the movie or book "The time Machine". Victorian scientific.. But I am sure a witch or Wizard would find use in them too:-)
If you are interested in any of them I have listed them on my Etsy page here:

 Group photo of some of my favorites..

 Actias luna, commonly known as the Luna Moth

 Some of my new tiny dome butterfly stands. I like how they show off each individual butterfly

Above a little twist on my butterfly specimen viewer and stand. This one displays test tubes of herbs and plant matter.

Wizard Dragon Table

Sorry it has been so long since my last post. I did not really get to post anything Halloween themed.. Maybe later in the week I will share some photos of my "real size" potion bottles. I try to add to them every year.

Some Big news... I was informed that my miniatures will be on exhibit at the Kentucky Gateway Museum. I am so excited about this. There are two miniature building displays that will feature my miniature creations. Both of the displays are really filled with my work. I don't think they will be on display till later next year but I will post when I find out more information. Here is a link to there web page: http://www.kygmc.org/miniatureExhibits/. It looks like a really nice museum and I hope to get there someday..

Okay on to the Wizard Dragon Table and books, books, books...
