The exhibition Pocketsize: our fascination with the miniature has some extraordinary, tiny sculptures. (The internet’s brilliant for archived exhibitions – there are others on this site worth exploring). 1:12, or 1 inch= 1 foot is the standard size for collector doll houses, although brave souls work in even smaller scales. The work of Keith Bougourd and Althea Merback particularly caught my eye.

I would be amazed at a sweater like that in a full scale size, but that’s just mind blowing.
