🙌 FIRST NEW ARTWORK for 2022! Describe this historic family portrait in ONE WORD – (even if it’s an emoji 😃)💕!
.
We all know old Mr Wellington as he is today (swipe)… but what I haven’t told you, his first name is “Rex”. He is only a young lad in this family portrait, pictured with his loving mother and father, Esmerelda Wilhelmina and Charles Edwin.
.
I started photographing the elements of this image 3 days ago, it’s been so much fun putting it all together and watching old Mr Wellington’s parents reveal themselves to me during the creative process!

“The rain is coming,” Pablo informed Kasper, looking at the sky. “Fish love it when it rains!” he added.
“Louis, steer us over there, we will anchor and try our luck with the line and bait!” Kasper indicated as he rowed...

I feel about as stiff and sore as old Mr Wellington at the moment!! 😩😥It’s been a very traumatic week with a very painful back injury and limited movement and no mind frame or physical ability to create at all! 😢 It really makes me appreciate how good it is to be generally pain free and it has given me a greater sense of sincere empathy to those who I’ve with chronic pain every day. I hope it improves soon …. If not all my planning of new Christmas images are going to be dreadfully delayed. I am half way through creating a 1/12th miniature set all decked out for Christmas at Queen Ravenna’s Château. Does anyone mind seeing what my characters got up to over 🎄🎅Christmas if it spills over into the new year? Here is to feeling better soon 🥂 - Bec

This might 😲shock you, but did you know that Old Mr Welllington in real-life is only 0.11m tall - yep, he certainly is a midget! But.....he hat he is wearing and the pipe and tobacco tin he is holding were my grandfather's (Poppa Max) and he's placed in a #dollhouseminiature #12thscale scene. It was so much fun to add these nostalgic elements to old Mr Wellington. Here he really resembles my Poppa, just as I remember him! Thank you #photoshop.

The Petite Neko Family love to sit out on the deck of their high rise cave, enjoying fresh sea breeze at sunset and watching the beautiful pastel colours swirl above them in the twilight sky. Baby Sage loves watching the seagulls flying overhead as they look for a resting place for the night, to her, it’s like counting sheep before bed time!

Oh how I love these two darlings! My little Yin and Yang☯️ They are the same, but very different in so many ways. .⁠
.⁠
Anton is a quiet, gentle soul, who often lacks confidence. He can take things quite seriously and because if this, his feelings are very easily hurt. Ettie is a confident little Miss, who can hold her own very well with the help of her sharp tongue! She can often get “pouty” and stomp her feet when things don’t go her way. As a toddler, when she’s over tired, her temper can lead to a mighty fine tantrum indeed! Having said all that, when Miss Ettie is with her own kind, she is calm at at peace. She finds great comfort and wisdom in her older mandrake friend and when she’s around him, regardless of who may be there, in her mind, it is just “Me and Mr Anton!”⁠

This is the room at the rear of Old Mr Wellington's Antique Shop! In case you may not know, my indoor scenes are made by constructing 1/12th miniature sets! After photographing the set-up, all of my characters are then photographed separately and added into the scene using Photoshop (all of my characters are too big to really fit 1/12th size in such a little space!)⁠
.⁠
Most of the miniatures in this scene were purchased from the fabulous store, @minimum_world_miniatures. I highly recommend their products, service and speedy delivery! Thank you Minimum World!⁠

This guy is a darling! Jeremy loves all things regarding TEA and FIKA. Fika more than just a "a tea/coffee and cake break", it is a concept, a state of mind, an attitude and an important part of the culture in the land of Swevenia. In fact, in the Hygge Province, residents (especially Jeremy) believe it is essential to make time for Fika MANY times a day! It means making time for friends to share a cup of tea (or coffee) and a little something yummy to share and eat. ☕️ 🍰 ⁠
