I also love this, I am a sucker for all things miniature. For some reason I thought they were gonna be real ants in a reeaaaaally tiny house and now I want to see that too.

The ants are surprisingly anatomically decent, especially for how cute they are. The thoraxes are weirdly big and long, and the waists are a bit thick. That's small in the scheme of these things, though I'd like to see more mandibles and maxillae. Nary a labium in sight.

I love Ann Wood’s work! I’m made things from several of her tutorials, and she got me started paper piecing a quilt last year.

I had no idea how badly I needed this in my life. Thank you, paduasoy.

Well, I had no idea that this was what I needed to see today, but here we are...
Thanks for sharing this! (The little ant doll flung on the floor....the ancestors portrait...)

So sweet! Thanks. Something I would have wanted to own when I was a little girl.

This is so beautiful! I bought one of Ann Wood's patterns previously, but I hadn't seen how much else was on her site. Or the free patterns!
