The cartographer Alun Jones spoke in the morning, then there was cake, wine, bring 'n buy and after lunch Barbara Jupe showed us how to make dear little boxes. There was also a display of her miniature boxes with miniature books, with every last detail and tiny writing utterly perfect.
Her boxes are about 3-4cm in size, fully lined with matching lids and are made of mount board glued with Uhu, then covered in that lovely Japanese paper (origami sort) called Chiyogami, using diluted PVA glue.
She had made about 30 in advance so that we could each take one home!
I was lucky enough to get the demo. model as well. But then I really needed an extra one for my doll's house collection which my granddaughters play with.
Here is the Mouse's tea party.
