Mostly Art...
Mostly Art...By Joyce Barmore
Though I have almost always worked in miniature, I am coming into the world of scale miniatures fairly recently. It was gradual at first. Sometimes I had been working in scale without knowing I was, and buyers didn't tell me they were shopping for a dolls house or collection when they purchased the miniature Majolica I made back in the beginning.
Then about 10 years ago, I found eBay, and the amazing doll artists were also starting to arrive there. I left my pottery sculpting behind, and worked very hard at learning the art of sculpting life-like fairies and art dolls, from polymer clay. Unbeknownst to me, I was once again working in scale, but hadn't learned about the miniature life style until I was invited to join a miniature group connected to eBay.
