Little things

9/12/2016

 
I've always enjoyed little things, and making little things. There is just something about miniatures that I've always found fascinating.
When I was a child I used to enjoy making tiny things including foods for my toys.
Sometimes I used real food but mostly I tried to stick with things like modeling clay, paper,cardboard and anything else I could find that had sculptural qualities (wet tissue paper, blue tack and beach clay to name a few).
As an adult I still make enjoy making little things from time to time. It's fun!
​Anyway, I've had a little break from the blog because I need to spend some time learning new things and also catching up on some of my other projects.
Tonight I decided I wanted to learn a bit about modern Japanese culture. So I read heaps, asked people questions and I found a really cool website with heaps on interesting information on it. I was reading about popular books, movies, toys, games and all types of other things when I came across a YouTube channel that is apparently very popular in Japan.
It's all about cooking... tiny food! I was so excited about finding this that I wanted to share it with you.
Here is one of their clips, in it they make miniature donuts.
They have a whole YouTube channel of miniature cooking demonstrations. It's called Miniature Space - here's a link
I'm hungry now so I think I better go make some full sized food and then I think I'll read more about Japanese tea.

    ​I used to post updates about my writing and illustrating here too, but the website now has a updates section especially for that - all the new updates will be posted there.
    So if you're looking for book release dates or things like that check the new:
    ​ updates section.

    Again, this is my general blog​ so if you want to see photos of the little Australian animals that come to visit me, find out what I've been up to in the garden, or read about older works this is the place to look.
