This time in 1/12 scale. The drawing below looks very much like my old work "LaNuit de Saint-Denis" this will be my base to work from. I will complete the piece by September. Keep checking back to watch the progress. 7 March 2013 9 February 2013 I am making the Harness Shop again! In August 2012, an American magazine "Miniature Collector" featured my "Carl Froseth Harness Shop" (1/12th scale), commissioned by Nancy Froseth in 2010. (See my post here dated 7th 2012.) Ahmed Al-thani, of Qatar, saw this article and asked me if I'd make something similar for me. I visited Qatar last December to see him, and today, I am pleased to announce that I will be taking his commission. Here is the drawing for this commission. I expected to finish in about a year. As they say, watch this apace! 9 February 2013 14 January 2013 Miniaturas My latest work, Brocante Veyssere (1/12th scale), has recently been featured in a Spanish miniaturists' magazine 'Miniaturas'. It's 10 years since my work last appeared there. I met Madelva Fernandez, the editor of Miniaturas, for the first time at a miniature show in Tokyo back in 2000. At the time, she was so impressed with my works that she featured them in two consecutive issues after the show. The recent article is the first time since then. Madelva hasn't visited Tokyo since that time, so I was beginning to wonder if she may have forgotten about me altogether when I received a 'friend's request' in FaceBook. She said she wanted to feature my works again. I was so pleased to hear from her and sent her lots of photos, among them 'Brocante Veyssere'. I sent photos of many other works at the same time, so I hope Madelva will feature them in future issues! Miniaturas January 2013 issue 14 January 2013 Past Articles
