French Treats , original watercolor, 9" x 11"
Sometimes you're willing to make a "Faustian Bargain" (i.e. a deal with the devil) to get a prized book.
You'd even consider giving up your left elbow for said prized object of your desire.
When I first laid eyes on Pierre Herme's Mini Dessert Collection, I've become an ardent collector of miniatures.
I finally got my paws on the MUCH sought after mini Croquembouche and I can't wait to paint it!
This is just a mini portion of my ever growing collection.
The book all Re-ment Addicts dream of.
THIS is our Holy Grail. We dream about THIS book. It came out in 2005 and is in Japanese - all 130 pages of it.It's called Re-ment Book by the way.
It's basically a soft bound catalog of all the miniature sets Re-ment brought out since they started producing these fabulously detailed wonders. Did I mention Re-ment is in Japan. The minis are made in China.
All sets are 'blind-boxed' so you never know what's inside. In Japan you walk into your local grocery store for stacks of Re-ment boxes. Each set like the French Treats Set in the watercolor is a 'limited edition'. After a bit, Rement breaks the molds, making the set a collectors item and more valuable. There's a hot biz on Ebay for these minis.
You can go to Rement Queen, pay a set price and know exactly what's in your box and be assured of getting it quickly. Most ebay dealers are in China.Now you know another of my obsessions, along with shooting ice cream cones and...I forget all the obessions I have. Anyone read Japanese here?
BONJOUR RE-MENT!
