Amazing Miniatures Post After some user feedback and working on 3 different prototypes, I’ve settled on a more refined and easier to assemble version of the VIKAesque wood kit. In addition to an upgraded design, the whole thing is now cut entirely from Baltic Birch plywood (previous version was a hybrid of bamboo and birch...
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 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 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 This is sort of a “making of” post on the process that went into creating the Cube Cubby. As simple the bookcase/storage unit seems, it took about a year to figure it out, only because I was testing a variety of methods to make them in the level of detail I wanted under a certain cost to make them. ...
A very realistic dollhouse miniature scale (1:12, one inch scale) bicycle by Maisto. It is also much more affordable than what you would get from a specialty shop. I know it’s been a LONG time since I last posted.. sorry! Between working the day job, freelancing, and working on a secret project, \wink\wink\ it didn’t leave me much time to blog, unfortunately. To get the ball rolling again, I just want to show off a recent purchase that I LOVE LOVE LOVE. Introd...
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…...
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...
I am now trying to create the modern dollhouse bookcase using resin plastic casting. So the scene above looks vaguely familiar, but can you spot the big difference? I know, I know, the picture color is a bit washed out (sloppy editing), its missing the shelf items, and there’s the Tulip chair, but…. the big difference is that the shelf is actually a plastic reproduction! It first st...
