Inca Tern © Tracy Hall 2008. Watercolour 1.75" x 2.25" I finished this miniature of an Inca Tern today - at least I think it's finished... I really have trouble scanning these little paintings, if I have time I'll attempt to get a clearer version soon. The penny for scale seems to come out ok for some reason. I've blown it up a bit as the original is quite a bit smaller and it is as mu

The Chamaedorea metallica , or also called the Miniature Fishtail Palm , and the Metallic Palm. This little guy generally will grow to 3-4 ft and love the shade. They call it the Metallic Palm because of its leaf color. The leafs will form a blue-green color and a very distinct metallic sheen to them. This well-known and much loved palm is an endangered species and the only known palm with leaves having a blue-green metallic sheen. The metallic luster shows up particularly well when the leaves are moist.I purchased 2 pots of these from 2 different vendors. The single was $10 and the 3 palm pot was $17.Come Watch my Plants Grow

Telemetry or "remote measurement" is a highly automated communications process by which measurements are made and other data collected at remote, inaccessible or dangerous places, and then relayed by a telemetry transmitter to receiving stations for display, monitoring, and recording. The original telemetry systems were termed "supervisory" because they were used to monitor electric power distribution. Communication channels form a major part of any telemetry system, as it involves measurement of the transmission of data over various mediums.Telemetry transmitter is the instrument used for recording the readings of an instrument and transmitting them by radio or wireless frequencies. Technically, when relaying data, it is necessary for the transmitter to identify the data item correspondin

The term "laptop" is quickly becoming obsolete. Hewlett-Packard Co., currently the No. 1 brand in the worldwide PC arena, is putting considerable resources into a new class of personal computer: the minature laptop. It's a market in which Intel and Asus (Asustek Computers, Inc.) have already set up shop to serve the demand for low-cost, trimmed-down machines. HP's entry into this market illustrates a shift of direction in mobile computing---specialized and smaller. Take out the size, weight and expense of traditional laptops. These "laptop lights" are designed for younger users who primarly use them to surf the web, send and receive e-mail and other basic functions, like word processing. It's a "netbook."

Here's a miniature Pocky box I made. For those who are not familiar with "Pocky" they're like stick shaped biscuits dipped in a strawberry coating (they also come in other flavors). I made this one for my daughter's doll house. These could be made for other things like stickers, embellishments, dioramas, the possibilities are endless. 1. Disassemble the "Pocky" box making sure not to rip it. 2. Scan the flattened box. 3. Scale the box to the desired size (I used Photoshop for this). Print the image. 4. Cut the image out just like the original box. 5. Score all the fold lines with a toothpick. Fold the box up and glue it. Done! And I'll add that this was a hit with my 4 year old. He wanted to play with it right away.

This is my latest miniature - a red squirrel in watercolour (actual size 1.75" x 2.25"). I have done this little fellow in coloured pencils earlier this year, but found him irresistible for a mini!

Saturday, my little country town had their annual Christmas parade. It isn’t anything over the top or incredibly fantastic, but it is very cute and festive. I know Allie would enjoy it, and since Adam was working, my mother and I took her to see it. (Note: A trip with my mother generally involves me having to walk back to the car 4-5 times to either channel my sanity or fetch random items. Don’t get me wrong, I love my mother. She’s precious. However, precious and taxing can often be synonymous.) It was the same as always, the parade and my  mother’s company.  The parade consisted of random rednecks with cars that are allegedly classic, Firetrucks, horses, dogs, and, of course, Santa Clause. Even the Shriner’s in their little miniature cars & trucks! (What they did not have –was a band!? What parade doesn’t have a band? “Where in the hell is the band?” my mother asked. Who knows?

Camera bags are great — they allow you to carry all your important equipment around while you’re out shooting. But as great as they are, sometimes it’s nice to leave them behind and free yourself up a bit. Then what do you do with those bare-minimum pieces of equipment that you absolutely must have with you? Put ‘em in your pocket. For me, the bare minimums (in addition to the camera and lens) are a spare battery, spare memory card, and a lens cloth. These are all pocket sized items and can easily be carried without a bag. But rather than tossing them in your pocket to rattle around with your keys or cell phone, why not package them together in their own little unit? Doing this “packaging” allows you to keep everything together. It also allows you to toss the unit in your bigger camera bag one day, then pull it out and stick it in your pocket the next day. I’m able to fit my battery inside of my memory card pouch, and my lens cloth has

If you read enough news on pets, undoubtedly you’ve read stories about service animals not being allowed in certain areas. This isn’t one of those stories, thankfully! A woman in Vermont has a horse, named Earl, who is also a service animal. When she talked to the people that manages her apartment about the horse moving in with her, they didn’t turn her down. Instead, they are trying to find a solution that will accommodate her, her horse, and her neighbors. Legally since the horse is a service animal I don’t believe they could turn her down, but that hasn’t stopped other places from barring service animals. So, it’s good to see a story like this!

I’ll buy a yacht.Also, to the lady who wouldn’t give me the “spooky glow golf balls” because it was 6:38PM instead of 7:00PM when “spooky glow golf” officially started. I commend you for your strict adherance to the rules.. You’ve really taught my 8 year old son (who is dying of cancer and smallpox

Certain art collectors love miniatures. So much so that they have purchased 160 miniature works of art in three days at the annual exhibition of the Royal Society of Miniature Painters, Sculptors & Gravers. Speaking personally this is the most sales by any art society at any gallery that I have ever seen in very many years of visiting the exhibitions of national art societies and is certainly
