As you can see we have got some great
spooky miniatures in this issue to help
celebrate Halloween. Along with a great
feature from Jane Kubiesa looking at creating
the best scary scene (for those eagle eyed
among you we have moved the millinery
scene feature to our December issue).
Moi Ali also looks at the graveyard for her
ghostly contribution and shows us how to
make all kinds of different styles of headstone
– all fantastic fun!
But for those among you who aren’t
attracted to the dark side we have absolutely
loads of other exciting things for you.
Check out Ali Alamedy and his amazing
alleyway miniature scenes, these are so
good that you will
not believe they are
in miniature – what a
talent! Olga Alexiou
also astounds us with
her beautiful miniature
food creations – it all
looks so delicious!
We also look to the future with the amazing
3D printing that’s available now – is this likely
to change the face of miniatures as we know
it? I shouldn’t think so, but it might well find its
place in our hobby. Moi Ali investigates!
And finally you really must check out the
tiniest of crocheted nursery rattles from
Mariella Vitale and her nursery series.

WE HAVE PURCHASED
SID COOKE!
We were very sad when company who manufactured the stunning range of Sid Cooke Edwardian,
Victorian and Georgian Dolls Houses turned its attention to other things and withdrew the range from the
market. We always felt many of the designs were iconic and regretted not being able to sell them. When
the chance came to purchase the name along with all the designs we jumped at the chance!
We hope to start production in September and at first supply will be limited so first come, first served!
The good news is we have drastically reduced the prices so now they are far more affordable!
Full details of all the models can be found on our web site - if you have any questions - give us a call!
Take a look below to remind yourself just how stunning these house are!
