Another quick update—
Very nice news in the mail, the award for ‘Best Portrait' from the MASF (Miniature Art Society of Florida).
Blushingly pleased about this, it’s also a major award. MASF hosts the largest miniature exhibition in the world, and usually has over a thousand entries from a dozen or so countries. The competition tends to be very stiff in the portrait category.
The award was for 'Bookworm'.
Cheers, Judy
