Following onfrom our first guest blog, we are very pleased to bring you the second in a series of blogs from the winners and entrants of our 2009 Creative Competition.

Hello everyone

As this is my first blog, I thought I would quickly introduce myself and give you a brief history of my miniature life so far.  My name is Alice, I live in France and I started creating miniatures over 15 years ago when a friend of mine built a 1:12^th scale house, which I thought was fantastic.  This also coincided with my first trip to England, where I saw a number of beautiful dolls’ houses and miniatures, all of which were full of character and eccentricity – exactly like me!  My other passion is painting miniature watercolours which I include in many of my creations.  I am now completely immersed in the hobby as I’ve found one small project leads to another, and before you know it you’re building an entire house and every accessory inside!
