| Our members are wonderfully talented, and the pages change on a regular basis, so it's always worth coming back to see again |
| Since we are a club we have a clubhouse. We decided to have the best one we could, based on a wonderful castle in the Real World, but different in a number of ways, come and see! |
| A little bit about our club and history |
| Did you see a name with a strange title, a room or office number, and a reference to "GSOLFOT"? Maybe you followed a link or did a search to get to this website? However it happened, we are glad you are here |
| Welcome to GSOLFOT! This is a site for the wilder side of miniatures! We are an international club, and our members have one thing in common - making and collecting miniatures. As miniaturists we all share an interest in making and displaying scale miniatures depicting homes and objects from various periods in history from ancient to modern. Our vignettes are a slice of life or a glimpse of a fantasy world! |
| A miniaturist is a person who creates things in a smaller scale whether it is in 1:12 or 1/144th size it all depends on the artist. Some extremely talented people can even make a whole house that fits in the palm of your hand.The skills demonstrated by miniaturists run the gamut of skills used in life size. Woodworking, needlecraft, sculpting, artistry, metalwork, electrical installation, painting, papercraft and almost any talent or hobby you can imagine is applied in a scaled down format. |
Explaining GSOLFOT
Welcome to The World Famous GSOLFOT Club
| GSOLFOT came about when a new miniaturist called Noni asked for people to sign her guest book at a photos site and added "'I would probably get more response asking you all to wear a green sock on your left foot on Tuesdays."' That line was the beginning of "The Green Sock on Left Foot on Tuesdays Club". |
| But GSOLFOT is more than just a miniatures club, it is a place where imagination and fantasy are mixed in with talent, creativity, and a deep caring for one another. Here we get not only information and help with our craft, but support and comfort with real life as well. Our meetings are daily and virtual, but we are thrilled when we have a chance to meet another "sockee" in real life. This might happen at a miniatures show or during a vacation trip. Sockees have been known to travel great distances for the chance to meet one another |
| The most important criterion for membership is a bit of insanity - the ability to enter a world of magic and wonder, of dragons and adventure - without that GSOLFOT would be just another miniatures club. Membership is limited to around 100 members so we get to know each other well. We always sign guest books when we visit other sites, being sure to include GSOLFOT with our signatures. We hope in this way to achieve "world domination" or at least recognition - after all, the name GSOLFOT is certain to create curiosity. |
 | An international club of miniaturists | |
| The lighter side of belonging to an internet club | |
| You don't have to be an artist to create great art | |
| Where else in the world would you be able to peek under kilts, ride a roller coaster, drive a tank, hatch a dragon (or three), hide in a secret passage - all in a day? But when you are an Officer in the cyber world of Green Sock creative wonderment all things are possible |
