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...
Showcasing amazing miniatures by Karin Corbin. Having bought my very first mini table saw (pictures to follow), I’ve been looking at seasoned miniaturists to learn from. And having not posted a showcase in a long while, I thought I should start it up again. I found Karin Corbin, a miniaturist with 40 years under her belt, and I have been going t...
Another half scale fireplace project for the creatology dollhouse with veranda, but with some accidents along the way. Emboldened by my success from yesterday’s country fireplace, I decided to make another one (since I bought a second Creatology Dollhouse with Veranda). This time, I wanted to create a more modern one, since I’ll be decorating it contemporary-ish. This fireplace is actually based off the slate firepl...
Creating a half scale fireplace out of clay for the Creatology dollhouse with the veranda. Remember that Creatology Dollhouse with Veranda? Well, I’ve decided to make it into a country cottage of some sort. I also had a big chunk of Sculpey III sitting around and wanted to sculp something so why not start with something easy, like a earthy country fireplace! I used various tools to sculp ...
Creatology Dollhouse Puzzle and Furniture Review, for cheaper halfscale dollhouse furniture and dollhouse from Michael's. Sorry I haven’t been updating this blog as much as I’d like. I have been working on quite a few projects and now have sooooo many pictures on my camera that I need to download and post up soon. But for now, I just want to show off my $16 dollhouse and furniture “kits” I purchased from Michaels creat...
Showing off all the miniature dollhouse furniture I purchased with my tax returns. I made this tweet a few weeks ago... > So I got my tax refunds.. and then blew it all on dollhouse stuff.. \sigh\ I just want to share the goodies that I got! Also, today is my mother’s 50th birthday. Happy birthday Mom!
A New York Times article about modern miniatures and mini furniture. I just stumbled onto this article from the New York Times on how "Modern Design, in Miniature, Is Growing." Ever since I took up miniatures, I never really felt that it was a mainstream hobby (even though theres a lot of us). But to see it show up on the New York Times was pretty thrilling for me! N...
Ara Bentley crafts wonderful miniatures based on the Sweeney Todd and Addams Family theme. I found Ara’s site by searching for Sweeney Todd miniatures out of curiosity (you’d be surprised at how many different types of miniatures there are based on movies or stories). See the infamous barber chair in the gallery below… it even drops back like in the movie! Also, if you visit Ara’s blog, y...
