MINIATURE BUILDINGS

Using everyday objects like wooden coffee stirrers, card stock paper, barbecue skewers, plastic bottle caps, and toothpicks, Tracy Ealdama handcrafts her miniature models with her main focus being on recreating the exterior beauty of the iconic stores, diners, and other businesses of Toronto.
