Not my usual sort of miniatures, but...
A while ago, I discovered the world of "inchies" on another blog and did much covetting, ooo-ing and arrr-ing, googled it... and oh my, it opened a world of mixed media delights upon my eyes!! and then I wanted to have a go too :o) Before miniatures, my first love was always with textiles and stitching so I enjoyed focusing on playing with fabric just for the fun of it again, rummaged in my stash & this is my first attempt.
They say size matters... well an inch wasn't quite big enough for me (no smutty jokes please) and I settled for an inch & a quarter.
some closer views,
Now they're finished I wish I'd added more stitching... maybe next time? I need to find a nice box frame to mount them in now ... nothing's ever completely finished around here LOL
back to my 'to-do list!.....

oh they are beautiful, I've done paper inches and found them really fiddly to work on but your fabric ones are stunning, so much work has gone in to them.
oooooooooo i like!!! :D Linda x
These are sooo beautiful Wendie. I love the idea of displaying them in one of those box frames. They would look stunning.
I am off to google now too as they would be a great way to use up all the little bits we always have left over.
Thank you so much for showing them.
thankyou, they were fun to make, I just wish I could find a boxframe to mount them in that didnt involve a 2hr round trip to ikea! LOL
Oooo Wendie, these are lovely!
Beautiful. I love it!
