    Lianda from Kelirosh Studio down in Port Elizabeth will be sharing a minature dollhouse project with us. This project will be delivered in our monthly newsletter, each month featuring another lesson.

    Without further delay.. here is the first installment of our minature dollhouse project! Enjoy.

    What an amazing, creative week I have had. I even managed a quick trip to East London, to photograph my Mom, Beverley Immerman's extensive collection of miniatures for one of the UK miniature magazines. We will shortly be adding these incredible historical houses to our web site - there is a bit of everything in her collection, from an authentic reproduction of the RSPCA building, based on the original building in Jemina St London as it was in 1869 to a recreation of the last 'Jack the Ripper" victim. There is even a large collection of vintage and new Sylvanian Families. Currently my Mom has in excess of 59 miniature projects scattered around the house and in her studio - these are only some of the more than 90 houses and dioramas she has done over the last 14 years.

    Welcome to the Get Crafty Advertisers Newsletter. For those of you who don't know me - My name is Sonja Marnewick, owner of the www.getcrafty.co.za Crafts Directory.

I have one child, Alexis and I'm married to Steven.

    I started GetCrafty on October 2006, after struggling for hours to get information about crafters and crafts in South Africa, and realising there is a real need for the crafters information to be collated into one place, for easy access to people like me, looking for supplies, workshops, products and ideas.. and that's how Get Crafty was born!

    True to form, we have grown tremendously, and advertisers receive enquiries on a very regular basis. If you are one of those crafters playing around with the idea of selling your crafts, give me a call, this directory is not only for shops and suppliers, but also for us humble crafters that has great ideas, and can really make money from selling it!
