Happy Easter & KT Miniatures Archive Now Back Up!

Happy Easter to you all. 

I hope that you are all OK and staying safe. What a strange Easter holiday weekend it is for all of us this year? But if you are stuck for something to do, then I have something for the miniaturists amongst you to while away a few more minutes of our "lockdown" time:)

I am pleased to say that I have managed to make a good start on KT Miniatures' Archive section which has remained blank for too long, although it is going to take many more hours to complete in its entirety. For quickness and ease I have created separate sections within the Archive, such as Magazine Articles, Old Dolls House Sections, Commissions, etc. 

Here is a taster of what you can see on KT Miniatures' Archive section so far...

"The Old Curiosity Shop In A Book" was made for a "how to make article" for Dolls House & Miniature Scene magazine, way back in 2012. 

Remember the Bertha (Penrose) & Ralph Wright Collection - with connections to the Bloomsbury set, with all the handmade, hand painted and unusual carved pieces of furniture?

Or how about the rare collection of four c1920s Beatrice Hindley plants? These were found by a lady from up north in a box of china that she had bought at auction. 

Remember this Victorian seaside scene I made as a joint project for Dolls House & Miniatures Scene Magazine with my old "Nostalgia In Miniature Workshop" colleague and great mate Robin Britton (formerly of Coombe Crafts but now retired). This was made 7 years ago now...can't believe it! Click on the Play button to view the YouTube video of how the project was made from beginning to end. But please note that our Nostalgia In Miniature Workshops closed its doors in 2016. 

This was a commission undertaken many years ago now, of a hospital scene based in World War 2 at Christmas, inside an old cabinet. Was great fun to do. 

This was another commission of a 1930s General Stores. I had to undertake a great deal of research on the packaging, which proved quite challenging to create, but the customer was very pleased with the result. 

And here is another joint project that I made with Robin Britton, for a "how to make project" that appeared over a couple of  2012 issues of the Dolls House & Miniature Scene magazine. It was sold in a sealed bid auction to raise funds for the Breast Cancer Campaign charity. If you click on the Play button above, you will see an old promotional video that was created for this at that time. 

These are just some of the items that you can see in KT Miniatures Archive and I am planning to continue adding to it over the next few days. To view the Archive Page, please click on the following link to view:

Meanwhile, continue to stay safe everyone, in these difficult times.
