I enjoyed the following excerpt from an article about a miniature show. We all say, “I could do that” when we look at things, even if it’s silently in our heads. You never realize how involved something is until you actually try it.
Donna Henricks, who will teach a wicker furniture workshop, has made miniatures for more than 30 years.
“People can’t believe that you make it,” Henricks said.
During one show, a woman approached Henricks to ask about her flowers created from polymer clay. When Henricks told her the price, she decided it was too steep and instead bought supplies to make them herself.
“She was at the table the next morning and said, ‘I was up all night,’ ” Henricks said. “She couldn’t begin to make anything that looked like a flower. Until someone experiences trying to do it they really don’t realize. They think they’re kid toys, so why are they so expensive? They’re really adult collector pieces.”
