MINIATURE JAPANESE TEA CEREMONY.

This is a miniature Japanese tea ceremony. I did some research before I attempted to do this scene of a tea ceremony. The dolls are made from white bread and are about 4cm tall. 

In the hall, everything is bare minimum. The tea ceremony is carried out on the tatami mat, no tables but some homes do have a short table. 

This was a present to my sister-in-law who was studying in Japan for 6 years. She can speak Japanese quite fluently. My daughter also went to Japan and she attended a tea ceremony. The ambiance was calm and really restful.  

I have placed a ruler to show you the size of the set. 

Kokeshi key chains

Each kokeshi doll is about 3 to 4cm in height. Very small and therefore takes patience to do. I made 30 and they sold well. I love each of them as each has a character. 

The 4 sisters' Japanese home

These kokeshi dolls are only 3cm in height. I have made this little house showing different parts of the house.  

This is the dinning room. 

This is the study room

This is the bathroom. If you notice, The bath tub is rather big. It is like that. Almost like a pond, right?  

This is the bedroom. 

The entire house. 

Hope you will enjoy looking at it. I love this very much. 

Little Anna in her garden

Here I have used a mixed medium to construct a garden scene. Little Anna is on the garden bench about to read a book. Behind her are two little bread birds. They are out too to enjoy the cool day.    

Near the little teapot is  little cup. I wish I had a better picture to show you. Sorry about this. I made the teapot and cup using bread too. They were so tiny that I had quite a tough time. A small object although does not require much details takes an equal of time to complete to making large objects. The large objects require details but you don't need to strain your eyes. By the time I finished making the birds and the set of teapot and cup, I nearly went blind. Ha! Ha! Ha! I did not do the piece of cake. I do have some of my own but since I bought some from a shop, I thought to use it to save time and my eyes.       

I have put Little Anna in a casing. Just in case you are wondering what that object is behind the sofa, tangling down, it is a lamp. 

The Bread Mice Celebration

The entire set up of the mice in their home is encased to protect it from dust.

The four mice are celebrating Christmas, eating and drinking happily.

Here we have one mouse on the sofa wondering if he should eat the sweet bread roll or keep it for the next season. Ha! Ha! Ha! On the floor next to the sofa is another mouse. He is having a nice time drinking and eating all the sweet Christmas stuff on the large plate. Near the ladder is our lucky mouse. He lying down and chomping on his Christmas pudding. How lucky he is. They are all in front of the fire place, so warm and cosy.  

There, you can see our lucky mouse really enjoying himself.

And here, you can see the studious mouse. Most properly, he is trying to find a book on after Christmas diet. Ha ! Ha! Ha! Perhaps he has his fill already.  

The Four Bread Mice in good mood of celebration.
