Yann Pendaries

This isn't exactly a post about miniatures but about a blog I have stumbled across called Photography Project - 80 Days in a Hot Balloon by Paris photographer Yann Pendaries. I just love his photo art and some of the neat photos and items throughout his blog. I think many of us will find things of interest. Check out some of the amazing prints in his Etsy shop. I did enjoy dabbling in photography a few years ago and liked the more arty style of photography and working with photos in Photoshop. Yann inspires me to want to get back into that.

Karen and Donna I am pretty sure you will find this site interesting.

I'm Still Here!

Hi from New Zealand - where winter is definitely settling in. I'm currently sitting at my computer fully clothed and with my dressing gown over top and thick woolly socks on - so glamorous!

Just a quick message so you know I haven't stepped off the edge of blogland. I've just been busy (not with miniatures unfortunately). Hopefully I'll get back into miniatures during the week and will have something to post soon.

In the meantime just a couple of quick things to report.

Firstly, I am participating this year in Jazzi's Christmas in July Swap. This is the first time I've done something like this and I am really excited. My swap partner is Manu of Italy. This is her blog site:

 The idea of the swap is to make something for your swap partner from found or recycled items and post it so they receive it by 31 July. I am using this as a stepping stone to participate in other on-line miniature events such as other swaps and competitions.

Secondly, I noticed this morning I now have 48 followers - so close to 50. I'll definitely have to have a giveaway soon to thank my followers. Perhaps when I reach 50 I'll have a think about what I could make as a giveaway.

Hope everyone is enjoying their respective interests and are hopefully being a bit more productive than I am at the moment!
