Rik Pierce is the nicest person! Every miniaturist I've ever stopped to talk to at any mini show has plenty to say, but Rik Pierce will talk your ear off if there's no line behind you. My daughter and I get a huge kick out of his enthusiasm, every year we re-"meet" him.

Oh, that makes me sad! Like Selkie says—I hope it goes better in the summer!

I yawned when I first saw it. Then I looked a little closer and saw that curved roof. Ooooooh. VERY interesting. It hasn't spoken to me yet to tell me that it wants me to do something with it, so maybe it doesn't. But darn, that roof keeps making me think about it. It's an intriguing design. They done good!!

Yep. I've been to Philadelphia Miniaturia, and the most important thing to say (echoing Jane) is wear good shoes, your dogs will be tired if Orlando's anywhere near Philly's size! Other advice, unless you're a millionaire— —bring a list and (try to) stick to it—you can wind up spending your whole budget on something that you just "had to have," that you never knew about before that very minute, and then not have dough left for what you needed/wanted when you get to the tables you were looking for; —eat lunch or a snack before you go in, it's big and being hungry just makes yo

Well, it took me forever to edit my album and make it public but I finally did finish... sort of... today. Phew! I saw this post right after we had to hand in our entries and I was trying to use wanting to see what you all were wow-ing about as my push to hurry up and finish my album. Yeesh, I guess I didn't push myself hard enough—has it already been almost a month? So I took time this afternoon to hunt down all the entry albums I could find and like everybody else, I'm blown away. Every year I love seeing how wildly different the ideas from one simple starting point are... but

Best glue for clapboard siding?
welcomehomeminis replied to Creamcheese's topic in General Mini Talk
Me, I use construction adhesive—the stuff that contractors use to hold up drywall and such on RL jobs. It comes in a caulk-type can that you use with a caulk gun, or with some brands you can get it in a large squeezable tube that doesn't require a gun. (More expensive that way but much more handy—and all in all, anything you get at the hardware store is cheaper than most craft-glue solutions.) It's fairly fast-grab, doesn't drip, run, or warp whatever you're adhering, has good flex (can even span small gaps) and long-term durability, and of course it can handle the weight of mini cla -

Perfect for a Federal, can be made to look like anything from a clapboard New England house you'd see on This Old House to a stone-covered Pennsylvania Federal that George Washington or John Adams might have rode out to, to escape Philadelphia's summer malaria episodes.
