Congratulations to Lidi Stroud selected as a IGMA Artisan by the International Guild of Miniature Artisans (IGMA) in May 2010.

Lidi has a special vice: she loves miniature baskets - be they cane or twined wax linen - or a combination of both. She loves working with awl and fingers to create the finely woven miniatures.

There are a few non-mini influences in her life as well, including two chocolate brown standard poodles - Madi, an eight-year-old female and Monte, a three and a half year old male and one "feral" cat, Sox, an 11-year-old female. She also has an older daughter who visits the rest of the family at Christmas, Lidi's favourite holiday.

Lidi Nambucca's Little Shoppe is a family owned and run business located on the Mid North Coast of NSW, Australia, in a small town known as Nambucca Heads.

Below are her submission pieces, which I'm sure you will agree are outstanding!
