a note from the editor
Since I was very young I was drawn to miniature things and it is something that I will never grow out of. There is a feeling of nostalgia when imagining what it would be like to be as small as an ant, to take a nap on a flower petal or to use a piece of thread as a climbing rope. There is so much inspiration in one square foot when you really take the time to study every particle that makes it up. Even at the age of 30, I prefer to eat my mashed potatoes with a miniature spoon, I couldn’t recommend it more, actually.
