Tiny Things

I am not sure when I first fell in love with tiny things. I think my sister, Susan actually got me to notice them. Like last evening when she sent me over to the most charming blog in the universe.



It is called une petite folie. Linda lives in Tasmania and combines several of the things I adore, miniatures, doll houses and Paris.

When my sister Susan visited Paris, she looked like she should live there. She and her husband had a wonderful time. We always dream of going on an art retreat in the South of France someday. Dreams and Wishes. Susan is always creating the tiniest creatures out of felt on her etsy shop. The tiny attention to detail can also be found in her knitted and felted garments.



Making things in a miniature size seems to be one of my passions. So it was when I first set out to make some of my paintings into note cards. I was determined to create the proper note card size but keep the integrity of the actual painting details.



I am so thrilled, they match the colors in my original paintings perfectly.



They are both available in sets of four or eight note cards on my little etsy shop.



Another thing that my sister, Susan and I share is creating on You Tube.



Here is my new channel on YouTube, which I call KarenHarveyCox TV on my sidebar, because I think that would make Daddy happy. My sister, Susan was the brave one and she has been created videos for a while now, here is Susan's channel, which she calls PA Fiber Artist, just like her blog name. Susan lives in Pennsylvania and is a wonderful Fiber Artist.



Our father was in television for many many years. I just know he is in that "control room" up in heaven whispering ideas to us on how we should make our videos. He was a cameraman for CBS and we went to the dress rehearsals for the Ed Sullivan, Gary Moore, and Carol Burnett shows over the years. My sister, Lynne worked at Disney television in L.A. for years before moving to North Carolina. I guess it's just in our nature.



I call this doll house community Serendipity Mall and it used to be on my blog before I got Photoshop savvy. The three shops on etsy...Susan, me and Judy of JuJuz Beads. I have to do some building though my sister Lynne might be moving into the neighborhood and sewing her creations on etsy.

The name of the song for this post is Music Box, of course. Well, I hope you have a lovely day filled with tiny treasures and big dreams.
