Our first stop of the morning was The Wellington Underground Markets, primarily to visit the Blue Star Kiwi stall (I was intrigued after receiving gifts purchased from there by travelling friends.)
On the way we found these miniature necklaces at Whirlwind's stall:
The Blue Star Kiwi stall was popular (a heartening sign)
So what did I pick up?
Free fliers from various stalls that I can turn into posters:
(Plus cards and a magnet that I bought for the same reason).
I was fortunate enough to be in Wellington for the Weta 20th anniversary celebrations and we managed to go to two talks on their history at Te Papa,
Which included mention of their miniature work (which made us quite excited),
Wow! Looks like a wonderful day. How amazing that there's a stall of miniatures at a regular market! The food looks yummy, great buys :-)
ReplyDeleteThat is sad about miniature work being replaced by digital :-( Did they say anything about whether they keep the miniatures they've made?
Hi Rebecca. Someone asked that question about props in general. It depends on the customer. Many movies have clauses built into the contract that all props and moulds are destroyed post production.
ReplyDeleteSome (like Peter Jackson) like to keep the items for prosterity
