The AIM Magazine’s Dear Reader
Editorial Team: Once again it is my pleasure to welcome you all to the
February edition of the ground breaking AIM magazine!
Bea Broadwood (Editor)
office@petite-properties.com With Christmas now nothing but a dim and distant
Vicky Guile (Assistant Editor) memory and with even the most stoic of New Year’s
vicky@njdminiatures.com resolutions having fallen firmly by the wayside, the onset of February can
Celia (of Oberons Wood) often bring with it a renewed sense of creativity and energy.
mail@sorceresshollow.com
Janine Crocker It is true, that for many, the days of February remain short and cold, with only
janine@missameliasminiatures.com the merest tantalising promise of a spring that is yet to come. Here in the
Jean Day northern hemisphere most gardens currently serve only as an icy view,
jday1@shaw.ca framed by our windows. It is therefore no surprise that thoughts and
John Day attention turn to the interiors of our warm and cosy homes and within the
jdayminis@shaw.ca miniature world is certainly no exception.

By AIM Member,
Jill Bennett
nce upon a time – that’s a lovely sentence. It has been the start of so many glorious tales.
Old stories and new. I doubt if there are many among us who can dismiss a good story, true
or fiction, without a shred of curiosity about it.
Dolls houses - they are stories in themselves, aren’t they? Whether they are made for the romance of
lost times, Georgian or Tudor, or they are little homes for families of mice. They all contain the owner’s
imagination. So, I got led into making the people for these houses after quite a long history of drawing
people for stories in books, and the memory lingers on.
here is one Georgian house I know – about 1725 – which it has given me such
pleasure to help to fill with the owners’ playful stories. A tipsy butler, a timid wife,
and in one room the grandfather, plagued with gout, holding a vast ear trumpet,
awaits his port, and many others. In an Oxford pub no end of people from many a
period vie for attention. Shakespeare is sharing a conversation with Dylan Thomas! At another table
Hackney Lil, ex music hall artiste, shares her good nature and her equally splendid bosom with the
local peeler who cannot help but smile!
Danish client asked for Sherlock Holmes and Watson – great fun, but then wanted Hans
Christian Anderson himself! Scary! But she sent me a book of his stories with his own
drawings for them in them.
Dickens – ah, there’s a story teller. I had the good fortune to

illustrate his work in ‘Stand up Mr Dickens’. This contains excerpts
from six of his books which have children in them. One was
David Copperfield, and another was Pip in Great Expectations.
So, for an example of what I’ve been speaking about,
here is a drawing of Pip’s first meeting with
M iss Haversham, a formidable lady, and
wonderful invention.
Being besotted with her,
I also did the meeting in our
familiar scale with a
young Estella.
There are many more

characters of his I
would love to make.
I actually made the man
himself. I believe he is probably
in that pub as I write, chatting to
Shakespeare, and
Dylan Thomas!

Cottage Room box by Malcolm Smith

idi Stroud, owner of Nambucca’s Little Shoppe in New South Wales, Australia shares
with us the tale of of her love of weaving and paper clay...
I am guilty as charged! I belong to an on-line mini group known as GSOLFOT. In January 2010, Rita Beninde
was kind enough to provide the group with some plans to make Rita’s shed. Of course, I fell in love with it
immediately and after making a few adjustments to room sizes, work began. The majority of work was
completed by April 2010 and it was exhibited at the Sydney Miniatures Fair in May 2010 as part of our club’s
display. I still have work to do on it, especially the internal room and back and side walls – but I also weave
miniature baskets and these tend to get in the way of doing many other things mini!
I was introduced to paper clay many, many years ago while doing a Rik Pierce workshop and have never looked
back! The majority of my buildings are finished in paper clay because it suits my style so perfectly. I love that
it is so forgiving and enables me to achieve the rustic look that I love. I have to admit that I just don’t do pretty
– well only under protest… Lidi.
Naturally, when we saw picture’s of Lidi’s shed, we knew we had to

find out more about this stunningly realistic miniature building…!
What scale is your shed? And is
B asket s f o r sal e ..! this your favourite scale?

My shed is in 1:12th scale and this is my
favourite as it allows a lot of detail with
ease.
It also makes baskets a little easier to make,
although I do make them in 1:24th scale on
request – and sometimes just for the hell of
it or in my madder moments!
What did you find the hardest to

do when you were making it?
Getting Peter (her talented husband – she
didn’t say this bit!) to cut the timber for me
fast enough! And make the flickering lights and fire. He does all my electrics for me and, believe me, getting
him to do it “now” as opposed to “I’ll get to that next” is hard work!
What did you enjoy creating the most?

I would have to say 100% working with the Creative Paperclay – which is my most favourite medium in the
whole wide world!! All my buildings are finished using it as it is so forgiving and gives the “rustic” look I so
love. So, all the brickwork, roof shingles, stone work was enjoyable for me.
Did you make baskets especially for it?

Not consciously! I just make baskets, and if I think it might sit right in the shed, I put it in – then it gets sold –
and so they tend to rotate in and out!
What are your favourite elements of it?

I love the well! I got the idea for that from a picture of an
old homestead built in 1793-4 in Parramatta, NSW. It just
appealed to me and I thought it would look good in front
of the shed. And I think it does!
I like the stone wall too. It’s really hard to pick anything
in particular – I just think the whole thing comes to-
gether well.
What did you enjoy doing most during its

construction?
Most of all I enjoy working with both Peter (best friend
and husband) and Jessica (other best friend and daughter)
during the construction of any of my buildings because we
all get involved and it’s always fun.
How long did it take you
to build?
It took me 4 months from start to
finish. I started it in January
2010 and completed it in the
last week of April, just in time
for display at the Sydney
Miniatures Fair held
during the first weekend in May!
I was cutting it fine!
Do you plan to build any
more similar buildings?
The next large project I have
planned is a Dartmoor Long
House. Pete is working in
Afghanistan at present – expected
home at the end of February – so I
will wait for his return to start on
this project. I have been doing all
the research in readiness and can
hardly wait to start!
I am also going to New Zealand in
February to do yet another Rik
Pierce workshop. I really am a
sucker as far as working with paper
clay is concerned.
And I also have a room box
planned in my brain – but don’t
A peek inside... know if I’ll have the time to do it in

the very foreseeable future!!
(The sleuth is awaiting this
development with pen poised!)

For some folk make do and mend went
out of fashion sixty years ago. For many
modern miniaturists it’s the meaning of
making and the well spring of creativity.
As AIM member Linda Master says, ‘My
motto is: necessity is the mother of
invention! I am always rigging things!’
When Linda’s 21 year old pick-up truck,
Tony, needed a new exhaust pipe she
fixed it with a couple of soup cans she
found in the trash. Perhaps she should
By AIM Member Jane Laverick change her trading name from Miracle
Chicken Urns to Miracle Chicken Soup
exhausts.
I have great sympathy with her automo-
tive dilemma. For many years I had the
kind of cars you associate with circus
clowns. There was the one bought in the
dark in a rush; that had doors that swung
open every time you went round a cor-
ner. Then there was the one that, as it
aged, would only start with a push from
the top of the hill. It was O.K. if there
were two of you, one to push and. the
other to steer and let the clutch out. The
real problems came when travelling solo.
I was much fitter in those days, there’s no
exercise to equal racing your car down
the hill to the main road.
Many meld the make do and mend with
their miniatures. Virtuoso arctophilist
Josephine Parnell is also a champion
maker do. The small jet beads she uses
for teddy bear eyes are all from an eight
strand necklace she bought from a car
boot sale fifteen years ago for 20 pence
Twenty-five years ago over a coffee and
donut Viola Williams noticed her wooden
coffee stirrer was a potential floorboard.
At this point Viola showed extreme class;
instead of stealing the stirrer she bought
Jane Laverick...
a box of them from the coffee shop. She glued
them to the mini floor, sanded them level with Linda Master...
an electric sander and gave them a coat of var-
nish. The resulting maid’s room is still played
with by her grandchildren using the lovely dolls
that Viola now makes professionally, after her
stirring start into miniatures.
Josephine Parnell is still thriftily stuffing bears
with quilting off cuts bought by husband Colin
years ago when his job took him to a quilting
factory one day.
k...
When this sort of reputation gets around it can Jane Laveric
earn you a “name”. Janet Granger had one of
those; it wasn’t Janet Granger Designs as much
as Mrs Cardboard. Other stand holders at fairs
called Janet and her husband Chris, Mrs and
Mrs Cardboard because they knew that Janet’s
stand that looked so nice from the front was
constructed of carefully draped supermarket
chuck out cardboard boxes that all fitted inside
each other to go in the car. Janet only trades
online now; can you spot any cardboard in her
web photos?
Web photos take us back to Josephine Parnell.
Her photography studio, which was nicely
propped up, as usual, on the water butt in the
back garden, was upended by a sudden gust of
wind, instantly drowning her digital camera.
Fished out and dried off, the camera sulked for
a couple of days before it began working. It’s
still in use and took the pictures you see here.
Make do and mend working conditions are
fairly standard for miniaturists; if you lived in
the home of your dreams why would you need
a dolls’ house? I began miniaturising when my
husband got a new job and we put our house
up for sale. Nothing says: Please don’t employ
me, quite as much as a “For Sale” sign in the
Josephine Pa
garden. I had the house pin neat early in the rnell ...
morning and then spent the day with minis on a
quickly clearable tea tray. Ten years later the
house hadn’t sold which might by then have
been attributable to the miniature porcelain
Viola Williams... doll business filling every room. 18 years

later I’m still doing my ‘make do’ job in the
same house.
Bea Broadwood, AIM’s founder doesn’t just
miniaturise dilapidated dwellings; she
actually lives in one. Her aged stone cottage
under its old pantile roof is like a draughty
icebox in the winter. During the recent
record breaking cold spell the water pipes
froze solid for days on end, there was sheet
ice inside the windows and the conservatory
door kept freezing shut trapping Bea and her
husband Tony inside. Whilst the cottage
could be updated and insulated Bea thinks it
would be a crime and is intent upon making
do with things just as they are, no matter
what it costs in heating bills and thermal bed
socks. Now you know why Bea’s Petite
Properties look so very authentic: she’s
‘living the dream!’
So is Carol Smith. Her fantastic minis are
produced with the help of her oven. Sadly,
sometime ago, the outer, closing, oven door
dropped off, smashing the glass. Unde-
terred, Carol props the inner oven door to
Janet with a shoe last, as you do, and carries on.
Granger... That’ll be why they’re such lasting minis, no
doubt.
Miniaturists are skilled at adapting what they
find. Josephine Parnell, skilled at gleaning
from charity shops and fur already on other
teddies, has her eye on a furry baby suit in
the local supermarket, once the price has
reduced a bit further......
Meanwhile Jean Day had a lovely food proc-
essor that worked with the aid of her chin.
You had to keep the button depressed with
Carol
the spoon you were holding under your chin
Smith... in order to have your hands free to add the
ingredients. These days Jean is using her
mother’s vintage iron to flatten her minia-
ture books and it works really well.
For many years I used the variation in my
own porcelain dolls as a selling point. This
was mainly due to them being rubbed down
on a three and a half legged metal green
house bench that I was making do with until
we moved. If I rubbed furiously as the table
sank in the west, I got a thinner doll. I could-
n’t afford to replace it so I did the miniaturist
thing and kept using it.
Like Josephine Parnell who had two televi-
sions. Together. In one room. Side by side. Jean Day
One was capable of producing the sound for
a television programme. The other one did
the pictures.
Making do is not just marvellously miniatur-
ist, it’s making the best of resources in a
green and modern manner. It celebrates
and appreciates the joy of owning something Bea (Fiona) Broadwood...
and best of all, it’s hilarious.

The Jet Set a
War Y
"Jet set" was used by journalists to describe a so-

cial group of individuals with the wealth and means
to travel internationally by jet. The wealthy could
participate in many activities worldwide that were
unreachable by the ordinary folks. Though air
travel was initially a past time of the rich, by the
early 1050’s, the middle classes took to the skies to
see the world. Jet set today would probably mean
those who own or are able to lease their own pri-
vate planes. The rich and famous probably are the
only people with the means to travel at will for ex-
tended periods of time. Wouldn’t that be a joy!
In the 1930’s and 1940’s hundreds of Aus-

trian skiers left their homeland when faced with
the German takeover . Many immigrated to the
United States. Skiing became popular in the US
during this time. The Von Trapp family arrived in
Stowe, Vermont in 1942. Ski resorts and lodges
were founded in much the same way.

Retro!
and the Post
Years!
In the post war years

skiing grew in popularity.
In 1949 the quilted parka was
Introduced which had
insulated layers. New nylon
fabrics were fast drying and
the use of wool declined.
Color reemerged and designers
made colorful ski attire often with
fancy geometric designs. In 1952,
Maria and Willy Bogner introduced
stretch pants to the world. They
were instantly successful. Suddenly,
skiing became elegant.
Today many improvements

have been made with lighter,
warmer fabrics. A colorful
ski jacket is at home on any
street, anywhere.

friends at the Olympics of 1952 in
Oslo , Norway. There, 694 athletes from
30 nations will parade at the opening cere-
monies on the 14th of February. There
they will party and then jet their way to
Chamonix and Paris. But first, let’s get some ski
clothes ready.
