This is all for today. Make sure to keep tuned for the next updates and news.
How are you? I hope you had a great weekend. For a change, after being so busy preparing for the DHN Show, I took it easy during the weekend working on a few miniatures of my own. As from this week I will start preparing for the book launch which will be held in Kensington Dolls House Christmas Show in London. I am looking forward to it.
After coming back from Holland I had a few interviews and articles about the first launch of the book and My Miniature World Collection. Malta Daily was prompt to share the news of the launch with an article called Maltese Miniature Artist Rebecca Micallef Launches Book in Netherlands.
The feature was shared all over social media. I am also sharing a link of the article just in case the link is broken. Malta Daily - Article
The video clip that was also shared and social media by Malta Daily was viewed over 12K in two days.
From here I want to thank you all for your constant support and encouragement.
This is all for today. Keep tuned for the latest updates and latest news.
How are you? I hope you are all well and having a great week. It has been a week today since my entourage and I travelled to The Netherlands. I am still recovering from the first launch of my new book, 'Designing and Decorating a Period Dolls' House' at the Dolls House Nederland Show in Arnhem.
What can I say, It was an amazing experience that I will never forget. Apart from the launch, it was the first time that I actually took part as a participant with my own stand. I was also happy that my girls travelled with me for the occasion. We arrived on Friday where we took it easy, and enjoyed the City of Arnhem. In the evening the excitement started to rise especially when we came to set our stand.
I had made a replica of the sitting room of No 44 Mornington House which is also featured on the cover of the book.
The books were all displayed nicely on the table and I also had a few of my own miniatures available for the show.
My girls had matching tops with the logo of My Miniature World.
My first signed copy of the book was given to the amazing Dutch artist Mr. H. J. Goergen. It was an overwhelming moment and I was so honoured that he wanted a copy of my book.
Both the dates were packed and it was lovely to make new acquaintances and friends.
It want to thank Rika and Marcus the organisers of the Dolls House Nederland Show that gave me the opportunity to take part in the show.
I got to meet some friends, Karen from the UK during this year we got to meet three times in three different countries.
The girls have been fantastic. Very supportive and helped me through it all.
Sunday was another great day. A dear friend Annigje and ex-President of the Douzelage European Town Twining came all the way from Merssen to visit.
I got to meet and make friends with Irish artist Thomas Murray who also got a signed copy of my book.
The girls made a short video of our adventure and captured some special moments.
I also managed to get some goodies for myself during the show.
Doll made by Spanish artist Victoria Heredia Guerbos
Several 3d print kits from Art of Mini
Trunk kit from Mini Vinage
Bohemian little table kit from Melissa's LaserVille
The small jewellery cabinet from Heidi Ott Miniatures
Hand-made desk from Dutch artist H. J. Goergen
It was an amazing experience for both the girls and me. A memory that will be never forgotten. Now I am preparing more miniatures for to the launch that will be held in Kensington Dolls House Christmas Show in London. I am looking forward to it.
I hope you like my new miniatures and enjoyed my new landmark. Make sure to keep tuned for the next update and latest news.
I hope you are all well. As the Dolls House Nederland Show is a week away, the excitement is growing more and the last few bits and pieces are almost done.
The books 'Designing and Decorating a Period Dolls' House' are already packed and most of the miniatures are set.
One miniature that I have very close to my heart and that I have just finished a couple of days ago is a miniature bust of The Girl with a Pearl Earring Bust.
As you all know Delft in The Netherlands has always been my favourite city. I love the architecture, the buildings, the history and it's Arts. I love the Delft Blue the most and so much so I had made a room box of this back in March 2023 and was featured with an article and front cover on the Dolls' House Nederland Magazine.
Considering everything, such as Dollshous Nederland, Delft blue, the city of Delft and it's arts, Vermeer comes to mind, and one of my favourite paintings would be the Girl with a Pearl Earring. So here is the miniature Bust of the girl painted in Delf blue colours. It's like I combined the few aspects that I love in this miniature just in time before the Show. I made just a few busts of her which will also be available during the launch on my stand at the DHN Show on the 5th and 6th October 2024.
I think she turned out very well and I have added her to my room box to mark the special occasion of the launch.
So this is all for today. I hope you like her as much as I have. Make sure to keep tuned for the next updates and latest news.
I hope you are well and that you are enjoying your weekend. Today I have some great news to share with you about my book, 'Designing and Decorating a Period Dolls' House '.
Finally on the 17th September 2024 the book had been officially released.
It was a very close call. It was supposed to be released by 4th September 2024 but there was some delay at the Southampton Port which also meant a delay for the books to be shipped to me for the first launch. It was a nightmare. I want to thank Sharron Mitchell from The Crowood Press that did everything should could to have the book ship in time before the first launch.
Last Friday I started to breathe again, when the batch of books arrived safe and sound to be taken with me to the Netherlands for the first launch.
Less than two weeks I will be traveling with my entourage to the Netherlands for the very first launch which will be held at the Dollshous Nederland Show in Hotel Papendal, Arnhem on 5th and 6th October 2024.
I am very excited as there is still so much to do and prepare for before I leave. My stand will be set at F08 as you can see and I will be there signing books. A special gift will be given with every book purchase which is a limited edition. A miniature version of the book with pictures of No 44 Mornington House.
Also there will be a few unique designed hand painted miniature accessories available on my stand. Still working on a few new ones. To be fair it was a last minute decision to add a few miniatures and to be honest it was a plan B just in case the release date of the book was delayed further. However I have a few nice miniatures which are limited in quantity so once they are gone they are gone and I am sure you will love them just the same.
I hope I get to see a few of you. Make sure to stop by and say hello. For those who are interested to purchase the book send me an email to myminiatureworld.mt@gmail.com to reserve your copy. I remind you that the quantities of the book is limited during the launch and I hate for you to be disappointed.
For those who want to visit and make a weekend out of it you can visit Dollshouse Nederland Show website.
This is all for today. Make sure to keep tuned for the latest news and updates.
How are you all? I hope you are having a great weekend. It has been a while since my last post. I am working night and day on lots of miniatures for the upcoming DollsHouse Nederland Show to be held in Hotel Papendal, Arnhem in The Netherlands between the 5th and 6th October 2024. There I will also be having my first book launch. I am really excited about it as it is the first time that I will be there as a participant and not as a visitor.
Speaking of which, 'Designing and Decorating a Period Dolls' House' has just been featured with an article on the latest issue of the Dolls House Nederland Magazine.
It is an honour to have my book featured on the DHN Magazine and from here I would like to thank Rika van Nellestijn that has given me the opportunity to launch my new book 'Designing and Decorating a Period Dolls' House' at the DHN Show and to feature me in the magazine.
For those who would love to attend and get the tickets for the Nederland Dolls House show you can visit their website here DHNShow 2024
I also have some good news for those who will be attending the Dolls House Nederland Show between the 5th and 6th October 2024 at Hotel Papendal, Arnhem in The Netherlands. With each signed copy of the book 'Designing and Decorating a Period Dolls' House' a miniature version of the book will be given. The miniature version has pictures of the rooms of 'No 44, Mornington House'. This miniature book will be only offered during this launch. As the numbers of books are quite limited, you can reserve a copy of the book by sending me an email to myminiatureworld.mt@gmail.com and you can pick it up during the show.
The Miniature Version of the Book
So this is all for today. Bare with me folks, at the moment I am just all over the place. In three weeks I will be travelling to the Netherlands for the first launch and being a perfectionist, I have literally thrown myself into the preparations for this show. I will be back on track posting regularly as usual. I can't wait to calm down and focus more on my new dollshouse project. Make sure to keep tuned for the latest news and updates.
I hope you are all well and that you are enjoying your weekend. Like always I am enjoying my Summer with the kids and working on new miniatures, preparing for the release and launch of my new book. St. George's Hill is still in its early stages and I will focus more on it once the launches of the books are done. In the meantime, I am also enjoying the Disney Dolls' House which comes in part work every week.
One of my favourite rooms is the nursery which has a Peter Pan theme. As a child, I loved watching the Disney motion picture Peter Pan. I think it was one of my favourites. I knew the lines of each character by heart. Considering that the Disney Dolls' House comes in part work I think that the nursery room is almost complete with two minor things that still need to be added.
The nursery is really cute and quite spacious with pieces that play a role in Disney's Motion Picture.
One of the nursery's beds with Micheal's teddy bear and Wendy's doll.
Nana's dog house and the famous toy cart that George Darling slipped on.
The chest of Drawers is still bare but will have a few accessories on it eventually.
Peter Pan looked lonely in the nursery so I made a tiny Tinkerbell. She was not easy considering that she stands only 15mm from the tip of her wings to the ground.
Even though she should have been smaller I think they look quite nice together.
I hope you like the tiny nursery room and my Tinkerbell. For those who are interested in starting this collection, it is available from the Agenda Book Shop in Malta.
This is all for today. Make sure to keep tuned for the latest news and updates.
