Nearly 3 whole years away seem like ages, so I am slowly trying to catch up on my semi-finished projects and update my skills...Hopefully I'll be functional soon, but in the meantime I also want to catch up with all my mini friends and their projects and feel a part of this wonderful world once again!<br />
<br />
So, I am about to finish my Mediterranean House and post some photos soon...<br />
The house was built from pieces I collected through a subscription magazine over 2 years 5 years ago (or more? ;-)) I made a couple of alterations and I am quite happy of how it turned out!<br />
I will be really happy to receive your comments on the final construction as well as on the little projects while I am furnishing it...<br />
<br />
It's nice to be back!Anthoulahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06148181917497988894noreply@blogger.com16tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2420917347229754757.post-51264308451730650322012-02-15T08:55:00.000+02:002012-02-15T08:55:15.928+02:00Because...<div style="text-align: center;">People <u>SHOULD NOT </u>be afraid of their governments! </div><div style="text-align: center;">Governments <u>SHOULD</u> be afraid of their people!!!!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Greek people is indeed fighting for its survival and dignity in a hostile environment! We have no control of our lives anymore and those responsible for our dead-end situation are well protected while we are been attacked!...<br />
<br />
I am deeply influenced by this situation, with mood swings reaching from depression to rage and back again, therefore my miniatures safehouse is not that safe anymore...<br />
I am watching you and your projects, though in silence, and I hope I'll be able to find my inspiration soon enough to join you!<br />
<br />
Thank you for you thoughts and solidarity!<br />
<br />
A big kiss<br />

Goodmorning my dear friends and followers!<br />
Today is a great day for me and "A Miniature Life", as it is published in a Greek magazine dedicated to the art of Patisserie, called "Sweet Stories"...<br />
I am soooooo excited!!! I haven't seen the article yet, but as soon as I have it in my hands I will scan it and will share it with you...<br />
I would like to thank the sweet Nena, who wrote the article, and all of you who inspire me with their work, comments and support! This one is for you guys!!!!Anthoulahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06148181917497988894noreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2420917347229754757.post-20450010100635321022010-12-01T10:30:00.001+02:002010-12-01T10:31:30.576+02:00My lemon cake and the donkey...My lemon cake prep board was quite a big success! It's probably because I just LOVE lemon cake so it really shows even in miniature...<br />
<br />
So, what about the donkey? <br />
A sweet little donkey featured my miniature lemon cake in her blog and I just wanted to say "Thank you!"... You should definitely visit her blog <a href="http://donkeyandthecarrot.blogspot.com/2010/11/miniature-life-full-of-taste.html">Donkey and the Carrot</a>, where you will find tasty recipies and many posts on subjects the "Donkey" loves...After all, as the blog itself advertises: <span style="color: purple;"><em>Everybody needs a carrot to go one step beyond, </em><span style="color: black;">don't you agree?</span><em> </em></span><br />

I know I have been absent from blogland for quite long and I missed you...<br />
The reason is that I was preparing my miniature food related jewelry stock for a charity bazaar I will be attending in Athens on 04, 05 & 06/11/2010.<br />
For my Greek friends, this is the charity bazaar organized by the "Xoria SOS" and will take place @ the Syntagma metro station from 9.30 am-9.00 pm. I will be there from Thursday 04/11 till Saturday 06/11 and I would love to see you there! After all this is for a great cause!<br />
Just for your information, on Friday & Saturday there will be 14 Greek designers @ the bazaar, so you might find a catch!<br />
<br />
Wish me luck!Anthoulahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06148181917497988894noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2420917347229754757.post-27309292423046485642010-10-13T23:58:00.002+03:002010-10-14T00:21:28.450+03:00A special tableTomorrow is a special day for me and therefore I have created a special table!<br />
I will be meeting the head of a large Greek company that is producing biscuits, cookies etc...She actually saw my jewelry creations and wanted to meet me, so I though it's time to show her my miniature creations too!<br />
<br />
So, here it is, a special baking day table...<br />

<a href="http://smalltalk-minilover.blogspot.com/">Sophia</a> was kind enough to help me order some craft items from the US and super sweet to include some gifts she thought I might find helpful for my Christmas projects:<br />
<br />

<br />
And now some update on my experiments in adding scent to polymer clay... Overall I must say that they were successful! I wish you could smell them too! I have made some notes though that one should take into account if he decides to give it a try:<br />
1) I used oil based scents so that they can blend with the polymer clay.<br />
2) They blend really well, but the clay becomes very soft and sticky so you need to be very careful...<br />
3) The sent is very strong at first, but after baking the clay it weakens to about 70% to its original scent.<br />
4) After varnishing the clay the scent is still there, but yet less strong...<br />
Overall it's a nice twist to classic polymer clay miniature items!<br />
<br />
I wish you could smell my strawberry cheesecake! It is vanilla scented...<br />

They are both very talented people and I am very proud to own one of their creations!<br />
<br />
<br />
After a long hectic period in my real life job, I am making some minis again...<br />
I decided to give them a little twist though and add a little something that will make them irresistible... <br />
What do I mean? A lot of people were saying that my minis (and my jewelry) are good enough to be eaten, and the only thing missing was the aroma of the real ones...<br />
So...I decided to experiment in order to scent all my minis just like the real ones!!!<br />
I will have results soon, but in the meantime I leave you with just a few of the scents I am using: madagascar vanilla, chocolate, choco orange, choco strawberry, cookies jar, wedding cake, apple pie... Yummy ha?Anthoulahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06148181917497988894noreply@blogger.com23tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2420917347229754757.post-87316944833192131922010-09-15T13:07:00.000+03:002010-09-15T13:07:07.303+03:00The lucky one...My dear friends, I want to thank you all for your wishes on my birthday and the wonderful greetings you sent!<br />
