Thanks for a fun an informative chat!

 

The miniature circus, part of Ringling's Circus Museum in Sarasota, Florida, was an amazing sight to see. These photos show only a small part of it. Each knife, fork, piece of food, folding chairs (that actually fold), city scenes, all of it was made by one person, and he continues to add to it.

Journaling reads:

"The Howard Bros. Circus is a ¾-inch-to-the-foot scale replica of Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus when the tented circus was at its largest (circa 1919-1938). It occupies 3,800 square feet in the Ringling Circus Museum’s Tibbals Learning Center. The “largest miniature circus in the world” was created over a 50-year time span by one man, Howard C. Tibbals, and contains eight main tents, 152 wagons, 1,300 circus performers and workers, more than 800 animals, and a 57-car train."

Info is in the exif. TFL!

Oh, my GOSH, Diane what a cool page and photos! I would so love to see this - how wonderful! I just love miniatures and a circus one and so large must have been great to see! I like your wonderful background - so much movement and cheerful color just like a circus! Your photos are amazing - I can see the little people sitting in the bleachers, the animal carts and the trapeze artists hanging from their ropes. Neat! Your journaling is so interesting and title crooked and different - like a circus too! This is just such a marvelously imaginative page! :)

What an achievement for one man to have created all that! I would hate the job of dusting it ha ha! A great LO with fantastic colours, just right for the theme.

What a wonder that one man has actually created all of this, Diane and how lucky you were to be able to see it! I can't even imagine how tiny everything was! I love the happy colors of your layout - all very circusy!
