Out On A Limb

Carolyn Roach
Hand Crafted Quality Miniatures

I've been involved in miniatures for several years now, But what I love the most is designing and making flowers. I use mostly Japanese papers, depends on the thickness needed for scale. I hand paint all the shading and details. I have been working in 1/12th scale but have recently been concentrating on 1/4 scale. I have been designing and making florals, upholstered furniture and accessories in this new (to me) scale.

I teach workshops and accept custom orders. Examples of my work can be seen at http://tinyurl.com/ya8uk3

Thank you, Carolyn
