I'm just posting a few more pics. I love doing miniature photography and the dolls house settings give such scope for creativity.
I knowit's an escape.. but heck.. it's a great escape!

here's a picture of stonehenge smirky smirks
Because a smirky smirk is made of 3 components ( a squashed round body (or squarish) with two legs). They seemed to naturally lend themselves to look like stonehenge. No doubt in their evolution they will become more sophisticated.. more elegant. more socially acceptable.
But right now , Smirky smirks are still in miniature and somewhat restricted by their basic form... They have a job to do.. and that is to make me smile.. I hope they make you smile too. these are all in 1:12 scale
BUT they are great little actors, and respond so well to photography!
We've been playing with ideas.!
Creativity begins with a blank page. Ideas don't always materialize straight away.
For me, creativity is often sparked by an idea, a picture, a natural object.
Recently I saw a tv program on "close the gap" which is a philanthropic organisation dedicated to helping close the poverty gap between aboriginal and white societies.
It had some big sporting names and heaps of public servants irrelevant white paper pages. I nearly gave up.
BUT THEN I saw their Schaffers. so what is a schaffer? it is a squashed round wood object with two legs. A South Australian company called screamdance.com created a competition for artists to make a group of schaffers for an art exhibition and for sale to help the close the gap cause.
They held their first sale last June.
So I started playing and created Smirks .. who are very smirky. "smirky smirks" they make you smile. they are made of clay or sawdust and glue, or wood ...whatever ..
a similar flattened ball with legs.
They spark the imagination. and ignite creativity. and these could create quite a cash cow for a deserving charity. So here are some of my Smirky Smirks. Here' a few pics.
contact me for fundraising ideas.
