Vegan Society
Very happy to share with you the good news that Radical Miniatures is now registered with Vegan Society — the first, and currently the only, dolls to be registered with the Vegan Society.
M-I-N-I-A-T-U-R-A !!!!!!! YAY!
I can't wait.
And I just want to thank all the people who have helped me get here (Miniatura)
Sophie (our gorgeous, smart and hilarious black-and-white cat)for just being Sophie, the best cat in the world :-).
Patti Medaris Culea, Barbara Willis and Angela Jarecki for making me enchanted with the art doll world.
Lisa Lichtenfels for her beyond words fantastic cloth sculptures.
Julie Campbell, Jill Bennett, Miss Sally, Jain Squires and Jane Laverick for their beautiful and different dollshouse dolls.
All miniature artisans (from Miniatura, AIM, CDHM, etc.).
Viva!, Animal Aid, VegFam, GreenPeace, League Against Cruel Sports, Vegan Society and all the other charities and organisations I support for their fantastic and inspiring work.
Christy Robinson, my favourite (vegan) jewellery designer for her great work and brilliant playlist, which I cannot live or work without :-)
Karen for her wonderful friendship, tutorship and support, without whom I would still be using air-drying clay.
Andy Hopwood for his encouragement and taking a chance on me,
Abi Norman for being so nice and understanding,
Jane Laverick for her advice, cheeriness and help.
Emily Bronte for her enchanting Wuthering Heights.
Thank you

WELCOME !!!
Hello and welcome to my new blog,
At the moment I am getting some of my new dolls ready (by tomorrow hopefully :-) to send to the local pottery shop for kilning. And making sure everything is ready for the launch of my website and basically being very excited about my first Miniatura (Spring 2011).
Today my page on the miniatura website was put up, which I am very excited about (but don't want to sound too boastful about).
Today I also received the most beautiful Romanian hemp fabric from Hemp Fabric UK and am excited to start making the dolls clothes with the wonderful herringbones, muslins, linens and so on. I love working with hemp, because it has such a beautiful and unique feel and look to it, and is the most eco-friendly and ethical fabric there is, since it cannot be grown with pesticides and is therefore naturally organic. It is also an easier plant to grow than cotton, is good for the soil and better for the growers' health. I choose Romanian hemp because it is the nearest place where hemp is grown and so reduces the 'raw material mileage'.
I will later post some photos of the clothes I make with the hemp.
Here is a photo of a completed doll (Bicycle Susie) and some work-in-progress faces.
