A Meeting of Like Minds

First of all I have started a gingerbread house - hopefully this will look something like a gingerbread house next time you see it. We will see!


Today I went to the home of a fellow miniaturist one hour from where I live. The lady Maureen and her friend Marilyn recently held a miniatures display to see if there were people in the region interested in get-togethers to do miniatures. Regrettably I was unable to go to that but they got a huge number of people through their display and quite a lot of interest was shown. Today there was a gathering of eight of us. We discussed what we would like to do for future meetings and did a little workshop making fimo breads. We were also given a little kit for a bread tray to make at home.
 
We all just did our own thing as far as breads were concerned so each of our bread displays would look so different. I put mine together at home and here is the result - all ready to take to a farmers market:



I added a sign saying 'Artisan Breads' because some of my breads are a little creative - you probably wouldn't find them in a real bread shop.
 
Maureen also had a cute little mold for making little mice so we all went home with mice as well.
 
Thanks ladies for hosting the meeting and for the workshop. It was great to meet you both and the other attendees. I look forward to attending future meetings.
 
I hope everyone is having a great weekend - mine is just about over - it is nearly 7.00pm on Sunday evening in New Zealand. See you next time.

    I think that it must be so nice to go to meetings of like minds in miniature, Sharee, it's great that you've enjoyed it :D! You came home with some wonderful and 'creative' bread and what to say of those cute mice... ;)?
    I can't wait to see what you will do with the gingerbread house.
    Hugs, Ilona

    The gingerbread house right now looks like a chocolate house, quite delicious as it is.
    The results of your miniature group meeting is great. I love the little mouse and it seems it loves your very creative bread tray.
    Hugs, Drora

    Your breads look delicious, Sharee! And the gingerbread house looks "promising"! I can't wait to see what you do with it! I really want to learn to make polymer clay foods..... Someday I will! What fun to get together with other miniaturists! It looks like you all had an inspiring day!

    I'm so happy that you can connect with local miniaturists--that surely helps keep interest in a hobby alive. Your bread and mice are really cute! xo Jennifer

    Dear Sharee,I am so glad to hear that a group of miniaturists in your area has begun to meet to have fun and share skills. my little mini group - Elizabeth of StudioE and Fatima, Beauxminis.com look forward to our time together each month. It is so helpful to have someone to bounce ideas with especially when the creative ideas seem to have disappeared. All the best. Janine
