AmazingMiniatures.com: 2010 in Review I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday! I had a great holiday despite a huge blizzard hitting Massachusetts right after Christmas. It was still awesome because I was able to spend some quality time with family! ❤️ With 2010 coming to a close, I thought I would do a year in review for the AmazingMin...
Etsy Update: Dollhouse Miniature Wall Art I just wanted to make a quick post about all the goodies I added to the Amazing Miniatures Etsy Shop. If you’re in the market for mini wall art, do check it out! Just thought this was a fun picture. The behind the scenes look at my mini photo shoots for Etsy. 🙂
Showcasing Mike's 1:12 Stick Built Hollow Wall Dollhouse If you’ve visit the Greenleaf forums lately, I’m sure you’ve seen Mike’s post on his stick built, hollow wall custom dollhouse. He also has a blog that he regularly updates as well. I am learning so much on how to build a dollhouse with frames, similar to how you would build a human sized house. And...
A custom Etsy order of miniature planters in wood. Designed and created by Amazing Miniatures. I’ve recently had my first custom order on Etsy. Honestly, I’m still very new to Etsy, so it was pretty exciting to get a custom request. It was for a set of two miniature planters in 1:12 scale, referencing the image above. I gave the buyer a quote based on the time I expected to take to finish it…...
Thoughts and news on the costs of shipping miniatures, showcasing a prototype, and an update to the Amazing Miniatures Etsy shop. Sorry for the lack of posts all week. I was swamped with work and was sort of burnt out from the previous week of mega blogging. I’ve got some good news though! I found out that I can ship packages weighing less than 7 ounces via First Class USPS. Previously, I was shipping through the Priority Mail...
Now that the coventry cottage dollhouse is done, it's time to have some fun setting up some miniature scenes for a photo shoot! I just posted the Coventry for sale on Craigslist and Etsy. Hopefully I'll get a buyer so I can get myself that Ball Jointed Doll. ;) If I don't sell it by Dec 25th, its going to be raffled off at my dad's church's xmas party. Either way, its going somewhere. While I still have it, I'm going to have...
The 14th and final part of the Coventry Cottage Dollhouse project series where the finishing touches are made for this miniature house. The last time I posted about the Coventry Cottage was in August. At the time of that update I was about 95% done where the last few tasks on the to-do list was: 1. Finish and add in the front door 2. Finish and add in the flower box 3. Finish and add in shutters 4. Last bit of touch up painting I kn...
Trying to figure out a proper placement for the front door of the Nyne House, an original dollhouse designed by Amazing Miniatures. This is just a quick post.. Remember the post where I was mulling over where to put the main entrance for the Nyne? Well, its been decided after the Reac chairs came in the mail! I set up where I planned to place the chairs and it does indeed allow ample space for the main entrance to be on the \rig...
Offering a free Free 1:12 Scale Noguchi Table Scroll Saw Pattern for other miniaturists and collectors who would like to make their own. Back in college, I spied the Noguchi table in one of those trendy furniture design stores in Miami. It was front and center in the window and it stopped me in my tracks. My broke college self could not afford the $1k+ price tag (I still can’t!), so I moved on, but I never forgot that table. Whenever...
There are many high quality Ball Jointed Dolls for 1:12 Scale Dollhouses that I am considering buying after getting inspiration from some flicker albums. I’ve been intrigued by ball jointed dolls (BJD) ever since spotting Donn Kinney‘s work on DeviantArt a few years back. These dolls, also known as “modern dolls” or “Asian Ball Jointed Dolls” are very realistic, very pose-able, and are for the collector who is primarily focused on fashion and cosplay...
