September 2026 - Fall Into Fall

The challenge example comes from Andi Vinciquerra who writes: 

Stevie and Ziggy have never met a miniature they didn't think was made especially for them. As kittens, they claimed the dollhouse attic as their personal penthouse, and years later Ziggy can still be found investigating tiny worlds, convinced there must be secrets hidden inside. Like most bad cats, they've toppled more than a few carefully arranged treasures, but they've also brought endless wonder and laughter to my work.

Before the girls came along, my beloved Cheech was my faithful shop assistant. She supervised countless projects, inspected every box that entered the studio, and made sure no creative endeavor went unaccompanied. I like to think Stevie and Ziggy are carrying on her traditions... though with considerably more chaos.

Our pets fill our homes with whimsy and wonder, reminding us to stay curious and delight in the smallest details. After all, what is a magical miniature world without a furry companion nearby, ready to add a little fur and a lot of chaos?
