About me
Hey there! Thank you for visiting!
I am Anna Maria (Pandanna for friends!), I was born on 21 August 1991 (I'm a Leo,rawr!) and I live in a very small village by the sea in the southern Italy, Nicotera Marina.
I live with my lovely boyfriend Carlo and our pet kiddos: Yoko the dog and Saki and Tora the cats.
I discovered the miniatures world in 2013 ,and I totally fell in love with it!
Since then, I never stopped studying, trying and also failing dramatically of course, with the intent of making my minis the most realistic as possible and to inspire and excite who look at them!
That's why I choosed the name "The Miniaturist Apprentice",because it reflects a philosophy that I really do like: we are always learning new things,in every time of our lives,we never stop improving ourselves!
My pieces are made mostly out of polymer clay,but I also use different materials,such as wood,paper,fabric,metal,plastic,resin and everything else needed.
Every piece is handmade with love and attention to details,so that’s why a single piece can take to a few hours to even a week to be made!
I would love to be a miniaturist for a living, so I finally found the courage and opened my shop here on Etsy!
So, thank you to all of you guys who support my work with your purchase or even with just a like or a comment on my social medias,it really means everything to me!
Affectionately,
Pandanna
