Conversion and Painted by Michal

Who is the Queen of Credits ?
Hello! My name is Kathryn and I am an avid enthusiast of
painted miniatures. While I do paint miniatures myself, I primarily
collect the works of other miniature artists both on eBay and
throughout the miniature community. eBay has been the greatest
innovation to the hobby of miniature collecting. Instead of
being limited to the works of oneself, or the local painters no matter
how fine they might be, eBay has made the entire world of miniature
painters, sculptors, conversionists, and design concept envisionaries
available to the miniature enthusiast, ...as well as making the world
"their market" to the talented artists from the far corners of the
globe. I am passionate about this art form, and over the last
25 years of following this hobby have acquired fantastic painted miniatures by some of the finest artisans in the world whom I
have had the pleasure to patronize and meet through the internet and
eBay. If you would like to visit my museum displaying just
some of the fine works of miniature art, feel free to visit me at: The Queen of Credits
Miniature Collection.
It's an online virtual museum there for you to view
and enjoy great art in miniature. You can also watch my eBay auctions to find painted pieces to add to your own collection, plus
unpainted vintage, rare, and oop sculpts for your painting enjoyment, as well as other collectible goodies.
What's with the "credits" ?
Once, when my son was a toddler and before he could read, he asked what all those funny markings were that scrolled by on the screen as we watched the end of a movie on tv. I explained those were "the credits" which told who did
all the work on putting the movie together. I explained that the movie was like a big art project with many artists working on it, and so it was proper to "give credit" to everyone who worked so hard to make something so great. He must have liked the word, or perhaps associated it with the concept of 'a lot of work on an art project', because he started calling our miniatures around the house
"credits." The name stuck in our family, and with miniature friends,
and so I became known as "The Queen of Credits" due to my ridiculously
large miniature collection. Ironically, the name has become a double entendre in the miniature community. Miniature enthusiasts who follow the hobby and know about my eBay collecting and my museum, but who do not know the history of the term "credits", don't realize it was really just a word coined by my then-four year old son easier to say than "miniatures", and so I am very honored and humbled to be known as a patron of this art form who gives "credit" to the many artists who work so hard to create such beauty and awe on such a miniature canvas of a teeny metal sculpt about the size of one's thumb or less.
