With the countdown to Christmas
here's a repeat of the 2002 Christmas room, filled with miniatures made by the
MiniScenesAndThings list members for a swap some years back. A little bit of
time, a tiny bit of supplies, will give joy for years and years. That's what's
so nifty about holiday minis. Just to give you a couple of ideas for next
year.

Jen Doll is getting ready for the holidays. She'd rather be making minis than signing Season's Greeting cards, but a doll gotta do what a doll gotta do. Check out her minis: Mr. Mousie, The Matron Cat Woman, The Micro Minis from South Africa, the Dancing Doll in the box, the Micro Mini Potter's Hutch and a big work in progress making plastic mini stuff look nicer.
Read The Holiday Ramble if you're feeling stress.
Stan Rice, Former Chair of the Creative Writing Department of SFSU died, at 60. Husband of Anne Rice and Father to Christopher. A Poet and a Painter and too young to cross over.

the first curing The face, hands and feet will be carved and filed for detail. Then the face will be painted with Translucent Liquid Sculpey tinted with clay for blush and eye color. Hair will be added last.
