Amazing Miniatures Post I’m not entirely sure why, but there has been a huge number of people finding me on Etsy and contacting me and a few friends trying to sell me either web marketing services, web design services, or all of the above. Personally speaking, I have about 12 years of web/graphic design and programming exp...
Amazing Miniatures Post I’ve seen Ji Lee work in BoingBoing a few years ago and was reminded about it by Eloise Moorehead (who blogs not only about art, but gobs of dollhouse miniatures related art too, you should really check out her blog). Lee installs miniature Parallel Worlds on ceilings: > People don’t look at the cei...
Amazing Miniatures Post I’ve been away this past weekend and now I am in the process of playing catch up to a bunch of work. In the meantime, I just wanted to show you a sneak peek of some of the little projects I’ve been working on. To the left is some poorly sketched plans. Its not to scale or anything. I just like to do...
Creatology Dollhouse with Veranda Pictorial Instructions for the confusing puzzle dollhouse. You can use this as a shell for half scale dollhouse miniatures. Ever since writing the first post on the Creatology dollhouse, I find my blog getting quite a few hits from the search engine from people who were looking for the instructions. Since I didn’t actually have instructions, I thought it would be useful to put some pictorial directions/tips together as I...
A list of Dollhouse Miniature Shows in Massachusetts for 2011 I created this post so I can keep track of the 2011 miniature shows in and around Massachusetts, but had kept it in “private” view. It was mostly for my benefit, but after a brief conversation with a friend who was looking for this very information, I thought I’d un-private it for everyone’s benefit...
Amazing Miniatures Post The very first giveaway I ever had was the RC Bookcase and I had 33 entries then. I did kind of cheat by counting all facebook followers, whether they knew that they were entering into a giveaway or not, so that number is a bit inflated. This time around, I actually made a concerted effort to promot...
Amazing Miniatures Post In February, I was included in a few Etsy treasuries and I thought I’d compile it all here. I can’t tell you enough how important it is to have good product images, because a nice image is what the treasury curators look for. I always take a bunch of product images and I really dislike having to spe...
Amazing Miniatures Post Out of all the wood suppliers I’ve used, I found the basswood sheets from Midwest Products to be my favorite. The cuts seem to be cleaner and I don’t have to do as much work to get rid of the fuzzies from the wood. If you plan on buying from the Midwest Products site, I recommend signing up for thei...
Amazing Miniatures Post Leanne Eisen is a photo based artist from Toronto, Canada. In her photo series “Play” she depicts miniature scenes of the seedier side of things. Before you make a judgement, read the description of the Play series from her site: > The games we play as children are rehearsals for the roles we play i...
Amazing Miniatures Post When I saw the ultra modern Archiquarium fish tanks designed by Karl Oskar, I immediately thought it would make an awesome modern dollhouse after some proper bashing. If you follow the same mini blogs I do, you’ll know that converting nifty fish tanks to modern dollhouses is not a new idea. The Call...
