Dear Reader Well, the end of the year is finally here and I am delighted to welcome you all to the December edition of the AIM magazine. Like many miniaturists, AIM members draw their inspiration from a wide variety of places, and earlier this year we discovered that literature is often a common spark; one which ignites our creative flames. So as a result, cover to cover, this issue celebrates our love of books and takes a closer look at how their pages often influence and inspire our miniature world.
Janine Crocker Of course as this is a ‘real time’ magazine we could not let the December issue pass without

also celebrating this very magical festive season. So for the last time this year, AIM members
have yet again excelled themselves; uniquely coming together to share their amazing miniature creations, talents and adventures.
The result of their efforts? A ‘record breaking’ 148 pages of miniature heaven! However, before I go reaching for a large chilled glass of ‘virtual’ bubbly, I must first take a moment to thank all the members of AIM who have come together and collectively worked so hard on this bumper issue! As ever they have excelled themselves and I am constantly in awe of just what their talents, creativity and dedication can achieve.
It also goes without saying that I could not let the year end without singing the praises of the AIM magazine’s editorial team. Throughout 2010 they have been an utterly amazing team who month on month work incredibly hard to produce a stunningly professional quality imag for miniaturists everywhere to enjoy. 2011 will bring further expansion to the team that will allow AIM to deliver even more fantastic content for our readers! But that is news for an‐ other time, for now I must also take time to thank Vicky (AIM’s assistant editor) for her con‐ stant support, unerring enthusiasm and energy. Quite simply, each and every month Vicky makes this imag a reality. Thank you.
So finally, as we skid to a halt, draw breath, raise our virtual glasses and reflect on the last 12 months, I sincerely hope that you have enjoyed all that the AIM magazine has had to offer. I have felt unbelievably privileged to have been part of it and for those who work behind the scenes and myself, this imag is a true labour of love; one we hope that you will continue to support and enjoy when we do it all over again in 2011!
But before the trees are decorated, candles lit and the carols sung, may I also take this op‐ portunity to personally wish readers, customers, colleagues, friends and family a very happy Christmas and (most importantly) a safe, prosperous and healthy new year!

_ÉuáàxÜ dâtwÜ|ÄÄx An ‘interpretation in miniature’ by AIM member Eileen Sedgwick. Lewis Carroll has long been an inspiration for miniaturists; many of us have tackled Alice, Rabbits various, Heart Queens etc… not sure we have come across a quadrille dancing lobster before though!
Step forward Eileen Sedgwick who was inspired by the Mock Turtle’s song of the dancing lobsters encountered by Alice in her adventures in Wonderland.

Eileen describes her lady lobster as “a whimsical creation in twelfth scale based on drawings of real lobsters, my life‐sized crayfish cast, bits of claw‐shell etc. I have made a lot of work looking at sea creatures over the years, and so she fits in nicely with that for me. She has human legs and a selection of lobstery ones as well, a crustacean’s ‘corset’ stomach, and a homarine hat with extra ‘eyes’ and antennae. Her limbs move so she can ‘dance’ …but in truth she’s probably more Flamenco than she is stately Quadrille!
The ‘tail’ gives her a dress,
made of painted silk, which
is wired and stuffed and has
lots of beads, especially on
the back for a lovely
encrusted feel. “

T
nnemarie
Kwikkel
credits her husband with her discovery of miniatures.
In
1992
he
bought
a
Dollhouse magazine for her, knowing she would like it: he was so right! She started working on an eleven room dolls house.
The doll making addiction
took only two years to ensnare Annemarie. She saw the dolls of Dana Burton and was hooked! She saw the poses, the draping and the romanticism of those ladies.
Starting in 2003 Annemarie had great fun making dolls from kits; in pursuit of realism she began implementing her own design on dolls. There was no way back, thankfully!
Later she started to sculpt dolls from Polymer clay and now makes her own doll molds. As Annemarie has a day job she works on her dolls at the weekend and free moments, knowing that it is a wonderful hobby. By 2005, in only two years, she had been recognised as an IGMA artisan and that first dolls house is now used as a setting to photograph her dolls. Artisans In Miniature 23
It is always difficult for an artist to explain the why and how of her work. Annemarie mostly creates dolls house dolls and says
Â\à |á áÉ ãÉÇwxÜyâÄ àÉ vÜxtàx t à|Çç ÑxÜáÉÇ yÜÉÅ ÑÉÜvxÄt|Ç ÉÜ vÄtçA j{xÇ \ áàtÜà ÉÇ t wÉÄÄ \ vtÇËà áàÉÑ âÇà|Ä |àËá y|Ç|á{xw4 \ vtÇ Ñâà Åç {xtÜà tÇw áÉâÄ |ÇàÉ à{x ÑxÜáÉÇ tÇw ÑxÉÑÄx átç à{tà |à á{Éãá4Ê
When she begins a new doll, Annemarie has a general idea of the doll and, while working on it, it starts to come alive. She loves to let a doll look like a real person, using a realistic pose or adding the proper accessory. To accomplish this she had to learn all kinds of techniques like
pouring
porcelain,
sculpting and painting. Since Annemarie loves painting one of her favourite parts of making the doll is trying to give the doll a realistic face.
ÂcÜtvà|vx?Ê she says, Â|á à{x uxáà ãtç àÉ ÄxtÜÇ à{|á tÇw Éy vÉâÜáx? {tä|Çz yâÇ ã{xÇ wÉ|Çz |à4Ê When a doll is finished Annemarie likes to photo‐ graph him or her in their “natural habitat”: yes – that dolls house again!
Artisans In Miniature 25
So how does she find her inspira‐ tion for these wonderful little people? Annemarie claims it is “miniaturists’ radar”! What a wonderful concept and so true. She will find inspiration in a piece of fabric, a picture of a fashion plate or a movie scene. As
an
established
artisan,
Annemarie now accepts special commissions and enjoys the challenge of creating a doll to someone’s
personal
wishes.
However, like all miniaturists, she has some very special tools and these are delightfully simple:
Â\ vÉâÄw ÇÉà wÉ ã|à{Éâà Åç àãxxéxÜá tÇw zÄtááxá4 \ tÅ àÉàtÄÄç {xÄÑÄxáá ã|à{Éâà à{xÅA TÄáÉ? á|ÅÑÄx àÉÉÄá Ä|~x àÉÉà{Ñ|v~á ÉÜ t vÉààÉÇ áãtu vtÇ ux äxÜç âáxyâÄAÊ Having made a Rococo room box this year, Annemarie would like to make more rooms and scenes as well as creating more dolls and improving her already impressive skills.

Artisans In Miniature 101
By AIM member, Mo Tipton Since childhood, I have been fascinated with all things small, and as life would have it, after attending pastry school and working in a restaurant for a number of years, I found myself with another obsession to add to the list: food. Happily, the two have combined rather nicely in my miniature food business, the Mouse Market, but it wasn't until a little over a year ago, when I came across a few artists selling miniature food jewelry on Etsy, that it occurred to me that these teeny treats had other uses as well.
Initially, I knew nothing about jewelry making beyond a few clumsy attempts at beading and friendship bracelet weaving as a child, but I began experimenting with different ways to string my miniature foods on earring wires, bracelets, etc. One detail I discovered the hard way, after numerous pieces failed to stand up to heavy use, is that polymer clay does not meld sufficiently to metal after baking. For example, if one were to insert an eye pin (a straight pin with a metal loop on one end) into the top of a miniature cupcake and bake the pin into the piece, with a little prying, that pin will come out. Instead, a headpin (it resembles a tiny nail) must be inserted through the bottom of the piece and out the top, so that the head of the pin prevents it from detaching from the finished clay piece.
One aspect that I love most about having the ability to create both dollhouse miniatures and jewelry pieces is the freedom to switch from one to the other when I need a change of pace. I seem to go through phases with my work: for days I will want nothing more than to make dollhouse desserts, and then, suddenly I'm bored and I can mix things up by creating tiny hot dog hairpins and ice cream cone earrings.

Plus, working in both crafts has served to expand my market, and I'm certain that I would not have the wonderful opportunity to work as an artist full‐time were it not for that fact.
Many of the techniques for creating my jewelry pieces are identical to those used in making my dollhouse pieces, but again, the challenge lies in the different materials to which I must bond the clay. With my dollhouse foods, I'm gener‐ ally gluing clay to a ceramic dish or wood, but the metal jewelry findings pose a unique chal‐ lenge.
As much as possible, I try to find a way to cre‐ ate a physical bond between the two by baking a jewelry component into the clay, rather than relying on adhesives, a method that is useful when making dangly earrings, charms, and necklaces; however, with post earrings and pins, I have to be able to count on the strength of my adhesive, which is sometimes tricky. So far, I've found that E6000 and Super Glue perform best, but I'm always on the lookout for better glues‐‐particularly more non‐toxic alternatives!
One of my favorite parts of my job, both with my dollhouse and jewelry pieces, is the idea stage. I could spend hours poring over cookbooks and photos online, searching for luscious desserts and savories that I‘d like to miniaturize, and I love that the types of foods that might be more difficult to market as dollhouse miniatures (perhaps a cupcake with lots of sparkles and glitter) can generally be made to work as jewelry pieces.
My jewelry allows me to create more stylized, fanciful pieces, whereas with the dollhouse miniatures, I tend to strive for more realism,
