Greetings from Josje

Hello fellow miniaturists!  My name is Josje Veenenbos and I live about 35 miles north of Amsterdam in the Netherlands.  

 
My venture into miniatures began in 2003 after a friend asked me to look out for miniatures on my trips abroad.   Not long after that I bought a 12th scale Amsterdam Canal House and started building the interiors for it.  I enjoy doing research on  (social) historical aspects,  art and period styles,  and I use the information I find to create my miniature interiors.   I love experimenting and trying out new (to me) techniques and materials and try to take as many classes as I can.  
 
In 2006 I was lucky enough to be able to take a class with Barry Hipwell and he told us about IGMA.  A few months later Barry suggested I should apply for a Guild School scholarship, which I did and to my great delight I was invited to come to Castine on a scholarship.   I don't have to explain what a fantastic experience the Guild School was!  I learned so very much in those five days, and met many wonderful and like minded people.  
 
 As I continue to learn and grow,  this forum will undoubtedly contribute to my development as a miniaturist.  I look forward to reading and sharing posts with you.
