Let us spread our wings and soar into a new year, filled with inspiration, in a very TinySTUDIO way. This first issue of the year is themed; ‘Birds’, and pays tribute to the endlessly varied colours, characters, and beauty of the avian world.

Issue 17 is Here!

Welcome to the latest instalment of fibery inspiration, creativity, information, and of course, fluffy eye candy!  The underlying theme of this issue is ‘Reflections”. I came to this concept via one of my most treasured memories; a moment when I found myself in the middle of the most incredible reflection.
