pameladeanBecause you never know when your mother may enlist your husband in a conspiracy to take a lot of photographs of your office so that she can recreate it as a miniature and give you the miniature as a birthday present.

It is not a perfect model -- there are three windows across the far wall of my office, not four, and there are a number of other discrepancies, most of them intentional, but that, given my profession, is really just completely suitable.

Date: 2006-01-29 06:11 pm (UTC)I have a deep and irrational love of miniature worlds, going back to childhood, when I used to dig holes in the red-clay embankment behind our house and outfit them with matchbox beds and thread-spool tables as houses for the fairies. These days I get my kicks making models of set designs, but they're nowhere near as detailed as your mother's work.
Somehow it seems perfectly appropriate for you to have a unicorn in your office...

Date: 2006-01-29 06:54 pm (UTC)Incidentally, when I was cramming Greek grammar over break, across the first of my paradigm sheets in the row for futures I found myself writing, in the appropriate place, "There is no fucking future subjunctive." (As it turns out, my grammar isn't too bad, I just have no vocabulary. Argh. A miniature of my desk would have lots of vocab flashcards on it right now.)

The majority seem to be in apartments or houses with creaky floors. (The creaky floor is why nobody will allow me a pygmy mammoth.)

Date: 2006-01-30 05:24 pm (UTC)As many above said...I love miniatures. I too made them, castles for minnows in the creek behind the house where I grew up. Now the idea is like terribly complex recipes. I love the idea, but not the work.
I certainly love the outcome of your mother's work and hope to see it in person one of these days.
