Fantasy at the Fair

Two weekends ago I exhibited my Pixie Dust Miniatures (the brand I created in 2010 to sell scale fantasy miniatures to private collectors) at the Whimsic Alley Fantasy Fair on Wilshire Blvd. This buzzing marketplace of muggles is what LA Weekly referred to as the "best substitute for Diagon Alley" in 2009.

Here are some photos of my table in the Great Hall, which incidentally had floating candles beneath a sky facade. It wasn't the type of show I usually do but it was enormous (and profitable) fun and I met some great artists also exhibiting there.

Oh, and yes, there are sorting hats here because I was warned there would be a lot of HP fans about... but I never do this usually! If you ever visit my Pixie Dust Miniatures store you'll find only my own unique designs. ;)

One sip to Immortality

Ever craved the secret to eternal youth, immortality? Mystics, necromancers and sorcerers from East and West claim to have found the key, the mysterious water which grants immortality to the drinker.

I created these potion bottles in tiny one inch scale for a miniature project based on the topic of Nicholas Flamel and the Elixir of Life. The project was just a quickie which took up the past 2.5 days, including photography yesterday (see the photos included). Some photos are to be published, and I'll update that in my 'publicity page' here on this blog as usual.

Want to live forever? I'm selling extras to collectors and some will be sold at the magical marketplace of Whimsic Alley on Wilshire Blvd, CA.

See them in the making below as well, and note the stone spiral floor which you saw in the making in previous post here.
