Showing off miniatures by Jean Day, who is also a miniaturist painter! Check out the amazing detail she is able to put into a tiny painting, by hand. Today, I want to show off one of my favorite Miniature bloggers, Jean Day. Not only is she a miniaturist, but also a miniaturist painter! (Is that even the right description? I admit, I’ve been cheating by using a printer to make my own miniature paintings, so its pretty darn amazing how much detail...
Marcella Perodo, an Italian miniaturist creates fantastic miniature foods, pastries, and even miniature packaging for her foods. I’ve been lurking in the CDHM forum for a few weeks now and stumbled on to Marcella Perodo’s blog. She is Italian, her blog is written in Italian, and you can see that the miniature foods she makes reflect her nationality. The awesome thing about Marcella’s work is that she also makes the packaging ...
Featuring IGMA Artisan Kiva Atkinson's very realistic and quirky miniature foods. I’ve done a bit of mini food modeling with polymer clay and I’ve only created a few crappy fruits, veggies, and pastries pieces. I’ve tried my hand at some meats and other dishes but they came out even more miserable than my pastries. Hell, I have enough trouble creating the plates! So now that you ...
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...

Showcasing Stephanie Kilgast's realistic miniature pastries and foods. Stephanie Kilgast from France makes amazing miniature foods. I found her while shopping through Esty for some miniature accessories. I just had to showcase her work. It’s making me hungry! Honestly, I had no idea there were so many miniature food artists. I really makes me want to learn how to creat...
Showcasing exquisite silver miniatures by Pete Acquisto. Zomg, the details! I’m not entirely sure how I stumbled on Peter Acquisto’s site, but I was mesmerized by his exquisite silver miniatures. From reading his artist bio and looking at the images, you can see that he is indeed very talented. His work can be seen in museums! The only problem I see is th...
Darice Timeless Miniatures accessories arrives in the mailbox today! Hooray! Some of my dollhouse accessories arrived in the mail today. Much like the unfinished furniture, these accessories used to be abundant back in the day, but now, unless you have a hobby store dedicated to miniatures, you will be hard pressed to find these anywhere locally.
In a recent trip to the local crafts store, I picked up a few pieces of miniature furniture. I didn’t have much time to work on the dollhouse kit all that much. I did have time in between running errands to stop by my local arts and crafts store, Michaels to nab some unfinished dollhouse furniture. I recall them having much more variety of unfinished furniture back a year or two ago. Now I ...
