Masterline Molds Scrapbook By Shauna Secord....Miniature Originals Created by Sharon Secord

     As John enjoyed working on large items, Sharon Secord, my mom enjoyed creating smaller items. Sharon has been the primary sculptor for Masterline Molds knowing that her enjoyment is found in creating the tiniest of ceramic products. Under Miniature Originals, she developed small ceramic teapots with bunnies and mice instead. Letting her imagination grow, she turned them into slightly larger scenes (2.5" in height) with wizards and dragons, or Holiday bunnies preparing for parties. She has made many of these little tiny ceramic miniatures, most noted for the little teapot mice. She created a mold for the teapots that was about 1" in height and had sculpted little scenes of daily life in the Teapot and Bunnyville Villages. These little scenes have been collected through the decades Internationally and sometimes she would be commissioned to create special pieces for private collectors who had a hobby or a theme the enthusiast asked to have miniaturized.

She would create ink and water colour drawings and then sculpt. This is a close up of one of Sharon Secord's Hand Sculpted Miniatures named Tea Time in Bunnyville complete with cabbages in the garden, a teapot on the table with carrot cake and a little bunny doll cradled in the hands of a young bunny bathing in the afternoon sun.
