Janice Crawley and a Mini Trip to Asia
While at the Sarasota Show, I stumbled upon an artisan's work that I was not familiar with. Her name is Janice Crawley, from Winnipeg, Canada. Janice is a Fellow of IGMA and works in porcelain. I am particularly fond of her whimsical teapots (if you read between the lines, it means I'm starting a new collection - oh dear)!

These are wonderful! I hope you'll find a lot of beautiful minis.
ReplyDeleteHUGS from A&A for both of you :)))
Thanks, Andrea! Hugs to your family also! I hope that everyone is behaving themselves ;)
DeleteWonderful!
ReplyDeleteBye, Faby
Thanks, Faby!
DeleteThank you so much for sharing these, wonderful to see some of Janice's minis again. Since I am a Canadian too, I have collected many of Janice's pieces years ago when I used to see her at the Vancouver miniature shows. I loved her teenie, tiny dolls in particular. Your trip is going to be fabulous!
ReplyDeleteJean, how fortunate you are to have a collection of Janice's pieces through the years! I hope to see her at another show so I can look for her dolls - thank you for the heads up!
Deletewhat wonderful craftsmanship, have fun with your new collection. I've been to south east asia but it was for a business trip so I didn't get to see much of it (5 days of work..1 day of play..which ment we did some shopping but that was about it)

Hi Marisa. Thanks for leaving comment on my blog! I have become a follower of your blog. Baxter looks like he is a troublemaker - and so cute!
DeleteIn Bangkok you can find miniatures in some markets. And I know that in Japan there are miniatures to but not always in 1/12 scale. Some can be used in miniature settings.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with shopping.
Greetings
Kleine, thank you for the information! I will keep my eyes open for minis and hope to share some photos on the blog. I have become a follower of your blog. You do lovely needlework!
DeleteOne of the other mini blogs I follow "My world on the table" is based somewhere in Japan and she makes amazing mini food. http://la-cocina-alegre.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeletePerhaps you could contact her and get some info on minis in that part of the world.
Hi Jennifer. Thanks for the the comment! I visited "My world on the table" and found her work amazing! I hope she will answer my message :) Thanks again!
DeleteHi Carol! I, like Jean have also a small collection of Janice Crawley's earlier porcelain works from when she and I attended the Vancouver Miniature show many many years ago. That was prior to her IGMA status and also when Jean Day was still making her Wonderful porcelain dolls which I loved to collect as well. But I digress... I have no idea where and what miniatures to see but I do know that the Japanese have a great love for miniatures and that there are small boxed sets of plastic Miniatures called
ReplyDelete"RE-ment", that are very popular in Japan and although not All pieces are to scale, there are lots that are. They appear to make sets mostly for the kitchen and include tiny food items of both west and eastern cusine as well as mini kitchen appliances. The company can be Googles up so that you can see what is available in these plastic sets. They are constantly changing the sets to newer ones so many limited editions are sold on ebay for those in North America. Anyway it may be something of interest to you... or not? Regardless, I wish you a wonderful time in Asia, and I am sure that you will not come home empty handed! :D
Have fun!
