For February, we are asking you to send in a picture of your minis out and about. For full instructions, look here.
It may take a few days for your pictures to be posted. After the end of the monthly challenge, you will receive a small thank you gift for participating.
Here are the beautiful submissions:

From Pat Creagh:
My condo association had an art fair in our clubhouse. There were a variety of arts represented. I was the only miniaturist. I showed 1/4” and 1” scale projects. People were astounded and very complimentary.

From Elizabeth Lubera:
Throughout my career in miniatures, I have loved taking my miniatures “out on the town,” whether on public exhibition with my miniature group, the Wee Bees, or in one of my grandchildren’s classrooms.
Today I am sharing a photo of me taken during the early 1990s when I was in Castine, Maine taking a quilting class with IGMA Fellow Kate Adams. I am displaying my class creation: a house-themed quilt, made using the process of quilt piecing. I still remember how very difficult it was to precisely cut, pin and sew together the very small quilt blocks to create the larger and more complex design.
My second photo shows the completed quilt -- which I shared in the June 2025 New Media challenge – displayed on a magnificent miniature brass bed by Jason Getzan.

Here's a picture for this month's NAME challenge. I call it "Coping with a Canadian winter, mini style, eh!"

From Suzie Aguilar:
I recently displayed my collection of scrubby holders with miniature scenes built inside. Over the last year, it has become an obsession to find new and different ones and create unique designs inside. (I hope to share the details in an article or the Gazette soon.) These are exhibited at a nearby library. Two friends, Carey and Amy, joined in after we spent a week in Galveston that we call SH Retreat creating more. (SH is our abbreviation for scrubby holders.)

I’m not sure if this fits your brief, but I want to share it. I recently went to Egypt and on a whim, packed miniature books and maps that I made for my dollhouse (@Cricket.Hollow on Instagram). I’d never done that before and it completely changed how I experience travel
Photographing miniature objects in enormous, historic places turned travel into a kind of playful scavenger hunt. Big world, tiny props, unexpectedly magical results
Next up: Milan, Florence and Venice. I’m already planning a 1/12-scale Venetian mask, a few miniature masterpieces and a very serious tiny suitcase. Tickets and an espresso cup included, obviously.

From Kathy Koons:
Besides taking my minis to my local club's meetings for show and tell, I like to photograph them outside, whenever possible. In 2015, my club (Miniature World of Central Florida), hosted a Fun Day with a Tuscan outdoor kitchen designed by Ron Mummert of Ron's Miniatures in Orlando. I was a teacher for the 1" scale and this is my version of the project photographed in my front yard.
