Our Son's ADVANCED CARD SLEIGHTS 27:00 ALEXANDER MAGIC (NARRATED)

Our son Alex, who I mentioned in a previous post
https://jdayminis.blogspot.com/search?q=Alexander   has recently produced a fairly long video to accompany his Advance Card Sleights that he is selling on Magcloud. There are terrific illustrations he did to accompany many of the card sleights shown in this video, I loved this video and just wanted to share it with you!   Here is a link to the book he wrote and sells!                               https://www.magcloud.com/browse/issue/836817

Free Fan Printables

This is another printable project I did for the AIM magazine a few months ago. Just click on the image pages so the each open larger, then right click to save the image to your computer on your desktop or in a file so you can access them to print out at the highest resolution.

I hope you are enjoying some of the seasonal craft shows which are wonderful for ideas for miniatures, great exercise and prefect for some interesting and unusual Christmas gifts. Always nice to support your local artisans. Lovely to chat with them too.

Autumn Harvest Wreath in Watercolour and AIM magazine

I wrote these pages for the last Artisan in Miniature magazine AIM, that was to be available in November and sent them to our fabulous Editor Sally Watson. Shortly after I sent these pages and a few photos for the gallery Sally passed away. So sad for her family and friends. I was shocked and devastated. She did so much of the magazine herself and with the help of the editorial team but she rallied everyone to get motivated and it really worked for me. I had stepped down from formatting the magazine which I enjoyed for years because of my essential tremor in my hands. I will miss Sally's incredible sense of humour and determined personality so much!! We have not heard yet if AIM magazine will continue.

If you are working on this project and would like some inspiration  for wreaths, I have created a Board in my Pinterest called Wreath Inspiration of ideas. https://www.pinterest.ca/jdayminis/

Wonders in Miniature Show, New Kits for Autumn

https://thenovembershow.weebly.com/

I'm sorry I didn't have this blog sooner to mention Shelly's Wonders in Miniature Show sooner. https://thenovembershow.weebly.com/
It started free online today and will last until Nov.5. I'm offering 5 roundtables at introductory prices at the show. The Quarter Scale Autumn Wreaths kit (there is a tutorial about painting it in my tutorial blog http://jdayministutorials.blogspot.com/ ), French Dahlia kits in 2 scales and Pumpkin Patch paper doily kit in 2 scales. The other 2 projects are available in my Etsy shop and are digital downloads for you to make the projects shown either with the elements or without. The first is a Recipe Scrapbook from my antique recipe book and the other I've designed using wonderful autumn images and elements.
