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 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 I stumbled on this idea when searching for some dollhouse sized cakes, you know, minifood. But I thought.. we’ve all seen plenty of cakes for dollhouses, but what about a dollhouse made of cakes? Really, I blame this post on so many silly cake shows on TV lately. So here’s my round up for dollhouse ...
Amazing Miniatures Post Do you remember the suitcase pictured above? It was gifted to me by the wonderful Fran from FranMadeMinis in a swap a few weeks ago (in case you need some reminding). Durning one of our email conversations, she mentioned that it is the first and only working suitcase she has ever made. I had to read...
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...
Amazing Miniatures Post I finally finished uploading and editing the photos from my swap with Fabulous Fran of FranMadeMinis. There are gobs of pictures, so click the thumbnails below for a better view and my comments. It’s no surprise that my favorite is a tie between the umbrella and the suitcase; both of which are Fran’...
Amazing Miniatures Post It’s been a while since I had a giveaway (in March with the secret facebook giveaway) so it’s about time I had another one! You’ve seen the “work-in-progress” pictures in my Krylon Fusion spray paint review for painting acrylics post, now you can win that very set! It includes the table legs and the...
