Amazing Miniatures Post On the Call of the Small‘s blog, the first sentence of her second paragraph started off with “Today, the lovely and funny Emily Henderson…” Why does that name sound familiar? “…winner of the HGTV show…” Ok, I remember her! I remember rooting for her on Design Star because she had a dry sense of humo...
Amazing Miniatures Post The sale has ended. Thank you!
Amazing Miniatures Post With everything going on in August, it kind of blew my record Etsy treasury features of 11 in May out of the water. The month of August has 19 features with one appearing on the front page for several hours. I suspect that it is because I was featured in the front page that made other treasury curat...
Amazing Miniatures Post I just listed the VIKAesque Wood Kit on Etsy. Thus begins a transition from fully assembled pieces to more kits. I’ve been wanting to do this for a while now. The most time intensive part of developing kits will be writing the directions. But that only needs to be done once and with that done, I can...
Amazing Miniatures Post I want to direct your attention to an article in the New York Times, written by best selling author J. Courtney Sullivan. In it, she writes about the love affair she has with dollhouse miniatures, that so many of us can relate to. But most surprisingly and significantly (for me) at the very end of t...
Showing off a prototype for a dollhouse miniature cardboard deer trophy head where I modeled a deer from scratch and sliced it up to miniaturize it. As a treat to my email subscribers, I hinted at a project I was working on in the first newsletter sent out in July. The picture above was what I included in the newsletter. I was intentionally ambiguous. I didn’t want to make it too obvious, lest things did not turn out as expected. 😉 But I am sur...
Amazing Miniatures Post This is a fairly wordy post. You have been warned. More often than not, I am finding myself designing pieces through CAD or 3D modeling software like Cinema 4D or Google Sketchup and then fabricating it through laser cutting and (soon to be) 3D printing. It’s not how most miniaturists do it, but as ...
Amazing Miniatures Post Here’s what I’ve been working on in the past few months. You might have seen some clues about it posted on my facebook page. It’s an actual 1:12 dollhouse. The Hello.Shawn house is named after my annoying lovely baby brother. Okay, he’s not really a baby, being in high school and all, but since I am...
Amazing Miniatures Post It’s time to announce the winner to the Silver painted VIKAesque Desk giveaway! I was (and still kind of am) on my vacation from minis so I didn’t do much blogging or promoting. As a result, there was only a total of 22 entries in all. Not good for me, but good for the entrants! You all have a bette...
