A couple of years ago a friend of mine introduced me to a book called Microworlds by Margherita Dessany. It is a wonderful book filled with whimsical images of tiny people photographed in the world at large. The juxtaposition delighted me, and for a long time, I've wanted to play with the idea myself, just for fun. That's what I'm doing here. But, before I do, please check out some of the artists who have inspired me below.

There are probably many more artists, but these are the ones I know about. If you have some favourites, please leave me a comment, and I'll be happy to add them to the list.

The inspiration of this collection of mine will be drawn from the everyday happenings in my own life -- the ordinary things we do as we live and learn. I want to bring some fun to them. A lightness. Some humour. And maybe even a little magic. I hope you enjoy my world!

Seedling Theif



Look who I found trying to harvest our Mimosa Pudica seedling. A teeny man with a wheelbarrow. I told the little guy he'd have to go. We only have one seedling, and simply he can't have it! I took this picture just before he departed. He didn't seem to notice. I think he must have been too busy reflecting on his misfortune. I'll plant some more seeds. If I get multiple sprouts, I'll make sure to give him one if he visits again. I'll see if he'll allow me to take another picture then.
