    Can you take a picture with something regular sized, so we can see the sizes compared to, say, a ruler or something?

    Looks very cute!

    UM, this is really embarrassing ladies 'cause it shows up just how bad my math skills are, but...Ok, Deena, I will try to photograph next to something regular. Is a metal ruler OK? AussieMum, I have no idea how big this thing is. It's about the size of a square shoebox. Do you work in feet & inches or centimetres? If feet I can go measure, if cm's Ditz will have to do it. lol.

    That's the same with me! My kids know cm's and other measurements better than I do! I use feet and inches! :) It doesn't matter what you use, just something we kind of know the size of so we can compare that with how big/small her miniatures are.

    One of the older ladies on the island makes minatures & agreed to do a class for about 3 ladies. My Ditz is the only kiddie involved. Her art teacher wangled her a spot. Her hands being smaller & more nimble & her eyesight better she is in big demand for helping the ladies out.

    Her toysop took most of 2 terms to complete. She is doing a cake shop now with this minature picnic basket & tiny mice scampering about the place nibbling on her cakes. :lol: There is always a story with Ditz's pieces. We write this activity down as her Art component.

    Okay, I noticed that little snaps are used for the wheels on the train.

    Those I know, so now I have a scale.

    Oh!!! Do we have a 'duh!' emoticon? Sorry everyone. That was really dumb of me but I just don't think numbers. The scale is 1/12th

    Some of the other artists work in 1/16th, which I believe is easier.
