Dear Reader Well, the end of the year is finally here and I am delighted to welcome
you all to the December edition of the AIM magazine.
Like many miniaturists, AIM members draw their inspiration from a
wide variety of places, and earlier this year we discovered that
literature is often a common spark; one which ignites our creative
flames. So as a result, cover to cover, this issue celebrates our love of
books and takes a closer look at how their pages often influence and inspire our miniature
world.
Of course as this is a ‘real time’ magazine we could not let the December issue pass without
also celebrating this very magical festive season. So for the last time this year, AIM members
have yet again excelled themselves; uniquely coming together to share their amazing
miniature creations, talents and adventures.
The result of their efforts? A ‘record breaking’ 148 pages of miniature heaven! However, before I go reaching for a large chilled glass of ‘virtual’ bubbly, I must first take a
moment to thank all the members of AIM who have come together and collectively worked
so hard on this bumper issue! As ever they have excelled themselves and I am constantly in
awe of just what their talents, creativity and dedication can achieve.
It also goes without saying that I could not let the year end without singing the praises of the
AIM magazine’s editorial team. Throughout 2010 they have been an utterly amazing team
who month on month work incredibly hard to produce a stunningly professional quality imag
for miniaturists everywhere to enjoy. 2011 will bring further expansion to the team that will
allow AIM to deliver even more fantastic content for our readers! But that is news for an‐
other time, for now I must also take time to thank Vicky (AIM’s assistant editor) for her con‐
stant support, unerring enthusiasm and energy. Quite simply, each and every month Vicky
makes this imag a reality. Thank you.
So finally, as we skid to a halt, draw breath, raise our virtual glasses and reflect on the last 12
months, I sincerely hope that you have enjoyed all that the AIM magazine has had to offer. I
have felt unbelievably privileged to have been part of it and for those who work behind the
scenes and myself, this imag is a true labour of love; one we hope that you will continue to
support and enjoy when we do it all over again in 2011!
But before the trees are decorated, candles lit and the carols sung, may I also take this op‐
portunity to personally wish readers, customers, colleagues, friends and family a very happy
Christmas and (most importantly) a safe, prosperous and healthy new year!

_ÉuáàxÜ dâtwÜ|ÄÄx An ‘interpretation in miniature’ by AIM member Eileen Sedgwick.
Lewis Carroll has long been an inspiration for miniaturists; many of us have tackled Alice, Rabbits various,
Heart Queens etc… not sure we have come across a quadrille dancing lobster before though!
Step forward Eileen Sedgwick who was inspired by the Mock Turtle’s song of the dancing lobsters
encountered by Alice in her adventures in Wonderland.

Eileen describes her lady lobster as “a whimsical creation in twelfth
scale based on drawings of real lobsters, my life‐sized crayfish cast,
bits of claw‐shell etc. I have made a lot of work looking at sea
creatures over the years, and so she fits in nicely with that for me.
She has human legs and a selection of lobstery ones as well, a
crustacean’s ‘corset’ stomach, and a homarine hat with extra ‘eyes’
and antennae. Her limbs move so she can ‘dance’ …but in truth she’s
probably more Flamenco than she is stately Quadrille!
The ‘tail’ gives her a dress,
made of painted silk, which
is wired and stuffed and has
lots of beads, especially on
the back for a lovely
encrusted feel. “

T nnemarie Kwikkel
credits her husband with her
discovery of miniatures.
In 1992 he bought a
Dollhouse magazine for her,
knowing she would like it: he
was so right! She started
working on an eleven room
dolls house.
The doll making addiction
took only two years to
ensnare Annemarie. She saw
the dolls of Dana Burton and
was hooked! She saw the
poses, the draping and the
romanticism of those ladies.
Starting in 2003 Annemarie
had great fun making dolls
from kits; in pursuit of realism
she began implementing her
own design on dolls. There
was no way back, thankfully!
Later she started to sculpt
dolls from Polymer clay and
now makes her own doll
molds. As Annemarie has a
day job she works on her
dolls at the weekend and free
moments, knowing that it is a
wonderful hobby.
By 2005, in only two years,
she had been recognised as
an IGMA artisan and that first
dolls house is now used as a
setting to photograph her
dolls.
Artisans In Miniature 23
It is always difficult for an
artist to explain the why and
how of her work. Annemarie
mostly creates dolls house
dolls and says Â\à |á áÉ ãÉÇwxÜyâÄ àÉ vÜxtàx t à|Çç ÑxÜáÉÇ yÜÉÅ ÑÉÜvxÄt|Ç ÉÜ vÄtçA j{xÇ \ áàtÜà ÉÇ t wÉÄÄ \ vtÇËà áàÉÑ âÇà|Ä |àËá y|Ç|á{xw4 \ vtÇ Ñâà Åç {xtÜà tÇw áÉâÄ |ÇàÉ à{x ÑxÜáÉÇ tÇw ÑxÉÑÄx átç à{tà |à á{Éãá4Ê
When she begins a new doll,
Annemarie has a general idea
of the doll and, while working
on it, it starts to come alive.
She loves to let a doll look like
a real person, using a realistic
pose or adding the proper
accessory.
To accomplish this she had to
learn all kinds of techniques
like pouring porcelain,
sculpting and painting. Since
Annemarie loves painting one
of her favourite parts of
making the doll is trying to
give the doll a realistic face.
ÂcÜtvà|vx?Ê she says, Â|á à{x
uxáà ãtç àÉ ÄxtÜÇ à{|á tÇw Éy
vÉâÜáx? {tä|Çz yâÇ ã{xÇ
wÉ|Çz |à4Ê When a doll is finished
Annemarie likes to photo‐
graph him or her in their
“natural habitat”: yes – that
dolls house again!
Artisans In Miniature 25
So how does she find her inspira‐
tion for these wonderful little
people? Annemarie claims it is
“miniaturists’ radar”! What a
wonderful concept and so true.
She will find inspiration in a piece
of fabric, a picture of a fashion
plate or a movie scene.
As an established artisan,
Annemarie now accepts special
commissions and enjoys the
challenge of creating a doll to
someone’s personal wishes.
However, like all miniaturists, she
has some very special tools and
these are delightfully simple:

this year, Annemarie would like
to make more rooms and scenes
as well as creating more dolls and
improving her already impressive
skills.

By AIM member, Mo Tipton
Since childhood, I have been fascinated with all
things small, and as life would have it, after
attending pastry school and working in a
restaurant for a number of years, I found
myself with another obsession to add to the
list: food. Happily, the two have combined
rather nicely in my miniature food business,
the Mouse Market, but it wasn't until a little
over a year ago, when I came across a few
artists selling miniature food jewelry on Etsy,
that it occurred to me that these teeny treats
had other uses as well.
Initially, I knew nothing about jewelry making
beyond a few clumsy attempts at beading and
friendship bracelet weaving as a child, but I
began experimenting with different ways to
string my miniature foods on earring wires,
bracelets, etc. One detail I discovered the hard
way, after numerous pieces failed to stand up
to heavy use, is that polymer clay does not
meld sufficiently to metal after baking. For
example, if one were to insert an eye pin (a
straight pin with a metal loop on one end) into
the top of a miniature cupcake and bake the
pin into the piece, with a little prying, that pin
will come out. Instead, a headpin (it resembles
a tiny nail) must be inserted through the
bottom of the piece and out the top, so that
the head of the pin prevents it from detaching
from the finished clay piece.
One aspect that I love most about having the
ability to create both dollhouse miniatures and
jewelry pieces is the freedom to switch from
one to the other when I need a change of pace.
I seem to go through phases with my work: for
days I will want nothing more than to make
dollhouse desserts, and then, suddenly I'm
bored and I can mix things up by creating tiny
hot dog hairpins and ice cream cone earrings.
VÜtyàáAAA Cross Over
ood Jewelry Making...
Artisans In Miniature 105
Plus, working in both crafts has served to
expand my market, and I'm certain that I would
not have the wonderful opportunity to work as
an artist full‐time were it not for that fact.
Many of the techniques for creating my jewelry
pieces are identical to those used in making my
dollhouse pieces, but again, the challenge lies
in the different materials to which I must bond
the clay. With my dollhouse foods, I'm gener‐
ally gluing clay to a ceramic dish or wood, but
the metal jewelry findings pose a unique chal‐
lenge.
As much as possible, I try to find a way to cre‐
ate a physical bond between the two by baking
a jewelry component into the clay, rather than
relying on adhesives, a method that is useful
when making dangly earrings, charms, and
necklaces; however, with post earrings and
pins, I have to be able to count on the strength
of my adhesive, which is sometimes tricky. So
far, I've found that E6000 and Super Glue
perform best, but I'm always on the lookout for
better glues‐‐particularly more non‐toxic
alternatives!
One of my favorite parts of my job, both with
my dollhouse and jewelry pieces, is the idea
stage. I could spend hours poring over
cookbooks and photos online, searching for
luscious desserts and savories that I‘d like to
miniaturize, and I love that the types of foods
that might be more difficult to market as
dollhouse miniatures (perhaps a cupcake with
lots of sparkles and glitter) can generally be
made to work as jewelry pieces.
My jewelry allows me to create more stylized,
fanciful pieces, whereas with the dollhouse
miniatures, I tend to strive for more realism,
One aspect of creating miniature food jewelry that I had not anticipated is
my customers' responses at craft shows. In addition to a few dollhouse
events, I participate in a number of general craft shows in which I
emphasize my jewelry pieces. What I love most are the conversations I
have with people who are initially intrigued by my jewelry, but who
suddenly tap into happy memories of hours spent playing with their
