I can’t remember how I first stumbled across this picture.

It was probably on Pinterest, where I am spending a fair bit of time again, now that I have worked out how not to have to look at a load of “picked for you” pins that I didn’t choose to see.

Anyway, I just love the idea of tiny worlds. I have always been miniature mad, ever since I was miniature myself.

And having discovered this tiny world pincushion, I then discovered more about it’s creator.

Who is miniature mad too…

As well as tiny world pincushions, Boston-based artist Mimi Kirchner makes tiny babies from felt.

And handsome pugs…And lovely foxes:

And then I discovered that Mimi makes the most amazing dolls…

Never mind my attempt at doll tattoos, Mimi’s dolls (both male and female) have proper tattoos! I’m quite glad I didn’t discover her work earlier.

Because if I had, I would find it very difficult not to be drawn into Mimi’s tiny worlds.

As it is, I’m glad to be discovering tiny worlds of my own. ♥
