An Open Letter to Miniaturist Bloggers Using Blogspot/Blogger Please open up your comments to allow the “Name and URL” option! Here’s Why: While most miniaturists seem to use Blogspot, not all do. (like me!) If you are using the Blogger platform and you do not allow options other than Google accounts/LiveJournal/etc, then you are prohibiting these people that ...

Anywho, here’s the promised weekly recap on the 31 Days of Etsy Challenge! Day 1: ...

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…...

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...

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...

I mentioned to a few mini buddies that I am experimenting with tinting my resin casts. As you can see from the images, some of the results are pretty horrible. I bought the generic craft store tints (the set for $30) and not the one that was specifically made for the resin brand, because it was way ...
