Miniature Hinamatsuri Doll Set by Re-Ment, photos by Amazing Miniatures Boy do I feel like an idiot. I thought I had posted this already. I spotted these photos as I was backing up a bunch of images when it occurred to me that I never blogged about them. DOH! I meant to post this on March 3rd, for Girl’s Day, a Japanese celebration called Hinamatsuri. Isn’t that just wo...
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...
Creatology Dollhouse with Veranda Pictorial Instructions for the confusing puzzle dollhouse. You can use this as a shell for half scale dollhouse miniatures. Ever since writing the first post on the Creatology dollhouse, I find my blog getting quite a few hits from the search engine from people who were looking for the instructions. Since I didn’t actually have instructions, I thought it would be useful to put some pictorial directions/tips together as I...
Amazing Miniatures Post Remember that Creatology Dollhouse I wrote about last summer? Nothing has been done with it since that last post (else I’d write about it, right?) and it’s currently being used as a tiny shelf in my workshop space. You can actually see it here, LOL. I am at the point where I am seriously considering...
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...
