Amazing Miniatures Post Oh boy, it’s been a while. Do you miss me? I sure miss everyone! I know my last few posts lacked any substance and I tried to get back into the rhythm for the holidays, but eventually decided to just take a break from miniatures and this blog for a bit. Hope you didn’t mind. 😉 I’ve been telling fri...
Amazing Miniatures Post I work part time for a non-profit near my town, but most of my time is occupied with running my own small business (of which includes AmazingMiniatures). My business is a home based one and it can get lonely sometimes, working here by myself. Luckily, I have some co-workers to keep me company. Unfor...
Amazing Miniatures Post I’ve been doing a bit of shopping for them and I am at the point where I’m happy with the way they look (for the most part). I bought a wig from Mimiwoo.com for Dakota. The wig was made specifically for Volks 1:6 scale Dollfies and was a bit overgrown for for him. I was expecting this, though. After...
Amazing Miniatures Post The two dolls finally meet each other! Let’s observe… . Oh boy… excuse me while I sort these two out. “You are welcome, Petunia.” . . . .. \sigh\ Okay Dakota, I get it. You want some hair!
Amazing Miniatures Post I recently purchased some clothing for Dakota (and by recent, I mean weeks ago, but just got around to blogging about it) from an Etsy shop called Crazyhandmade. Part of the problem with Dakota being a tiny boy BJD is that the tinies clothing market is dominated by girly stuff. Affordable boy clothi...
Amazing Miniatures Post I’ve been meaning post this for a few days now, but I keep getting side tracked. You know how it goes! This is a gift from Fran of FranMadeMinis, a friend I ‘met’ on Etsy. She’s actually a customer who convo’ed with me and was just so FUN to chat with that we ended up emailing at length on minis and...
Amazing Miniatures Post Back in January (or was it earlier?), the wonderful Shopping Sherpa and I had planned on doing a swap for the month of February. I suggested the theme of “red” in honor of Valentine’s day. Fast forward 5 months later, we have finally mailed our goodies, and mine had arrived! (Hopefully Anna-Maria ha...
Attempting to Sew ABJD Dollhouse Miniature Clothing I had a whole bunch of projects lined up but it’s difficult to start anything big because I’ve been sick and flu-y for about 2 weeks now (and I still feel like junk). Sewing was the only “easy” project that I can work on since I can do it while reclined and under a blanket :-). I started with a squa...
Fairyland Ball Jointed Dolls BJD for 1:12 Scale Dollhouses, the Puki Puki Pong Pong model. After some delays caused by the snowstorm that hit New England recently, my first asian ball jointed doll FINALLY came yesterday. He’s from a S. Korean company called, Fairyland, but I ordered it through their official US retailer, Denver Doll Emporium. I outlined it all in the old BJD for 1:12 Scal...
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...
