How tiny can you make something? That's the challenge Julie @ridiculoustinythings gives herself when it comes to making miniatures.  She has tiny bears, for whom she has knitted even tinier sweaters. Her houses are mainly in 1:24 scale and she delights in seeing how minuscule her miniatures can get.  Recently both Julie and her husband received Artisan status through the International Guild of Miniature Artisans (IGMA).  So join us as we talk about ridiculous tiny things and the joy they bring!
