Making It Small: The rags to rags story of a miniaturist and self builder in Yorkshire and Andalucia

by Angie Scarr

Miniaturist, self builder and serial creative Angie, never did things quite the way anyone thought she should. This is the story of how challenging and also how rewarding life can be if you take an unconventional path and stick with it in spite of all indications that disaster is looming.Angie and her ‘Computer Geek’ husband Frank’s exploits in England and Andalucia are unusual, maddening, cringe-worthy and sometimes very funny indeed. There are moments of triumph and moments of despair. And almost always a blind faith and a can do attitude. Woven through the whole story is her absolute passion for thinking up new creative ideas, sharing them and inspiring other people.This rags to rags autobiography is both a cautionary and joyful tale for anyone thinking of living a non-traditional creative life, or anyonecontemplating making the big leap to another country in the belief that it will all work out.
