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...
Setting up a fun scene with the re-ment miniature kitchen set. Fun photography with a tiny messy kitchen. More Re-Ment goodies came in the mail over the weekend, so I had to set up a scene of course! The item that came in was the Re-Ment Red Kitchen Display, which I bought from Amazon. I do wish they had the white set because white would be more versatile than red, I think. I set up the scene with the c...
The modern dollhouse bookcase project is now complete and set up in a scene with Japanese Re-ment accessories. The bookcases are done! I just finished finishing the bookcases I am super pleased with how they turned out. With that, I decided to give it a whirl with some Re-ment goodies that I had laying around. This picture makes me look like I have giant man hands, but I don’t! It’s just to give you an idea ...
A miniature dollhouse bookcase in a modern, minimalist design, inspired from a similar bookcase designed by Randall Craig. Still making stuff. This time, its a project inspired by a Barbie sized Randall Craig bookcase in a photo taken by Michael Williams of MAWPhoto.com. I forgot who actually had a blog post on Michael Williams’ work, but I had book marked his flickr page a while back and have been enthralled by his pho...
Creating a miniature circle table dining set, inspired by Ikea's FUSION set. Handmade with wood. This was the post that I’ve started and couldn’t find the time to finish it. I’m getting off my lazy butt now…. I am currently in the “making stuff” phase as a way procrastinating from finishing the Coventry Cottage \shifts eyes\ and I thought I would show you the current project I am working on. Th...
The steps I go through to Make a Miniature Modern Twin Bed from scratch. One of the things I’ve started doing after picking up my dollhouse obsession is browsing through various online shops for furniture or room decor for inspiration. The folder now has over 200 images in it! The picture above is a life sized bed room set. It’s called Milano Chocolate set, which is fitt...
Some miniature photography fun with a Re-Ment Scene: Cafe Brunch with Friends. I set up a little scene with some newly acquired Re-Ment goodies. The food is mostly a mix of the Japanese Onsen foods (I got the whole set!) displayed on top of the Rement Cafe Table set. The background is the Japanese paper my sister gave me a while back. Can you tell I love them? The scene is a t...
The 13th part in the Coventry Cottage dollhouse project where I work on the front porch with the miniature stone tiles made earlier. I finally got to use those “flagstone” pieces that I made for the Coventry Cottage porch. I used spackle as the grout. It was pretty tough with spackle because it dries so quickly, which I expected. But I didn’t expect the difficulty of doing it in such a confined space. Its finally done and boy was...
