Guest Post from Gretta: Miniature Swap


I received a mysterious letter in the mail a few months back from "Uncle Thrasher's General Store"...
...but with lots of kooky artistic friends I figured it had to be something good!

It turned out to be a letter from a childhood friend who's now in art school 
doing a miniature art swap around the theme of a general store.

After a summer in the woods of Vermont, the deadline was coming down to the wire, so in the last few days I whipped up these wee eggplants.

They are made of paperclay and painted with two coats of watercolors.

Delicious!

Can't wait to see what tid bits I get in return!

  5. The purple is lovely.....but they are so tiny....at first glance, I thought they were made of fabric that you had painted....guess it was the light or the painted finish....anyhow, thanks for the photo!
