There are many high quality Ball Jointed Dolls for 1:12 Scale Dollhouses that I am considering buying after getting inspiration from some flicker albums. I’ve been intrigued by ball jointed dolls (BJD) ever since spotting Donn Kinney‘s work on DeviantArt a few years back. These dolls, also known as “modern dolls” or “Asian Ball Jointed Dolls” are very realistic, very pose-able, and are for the collector who is primarily focused on fashion and cosplay...

Time for some resin tinting experiments to create colorful casts of the miniature modern bookcase. Also experimenting with selling on Ebay as well. I mentioned to a few mini buddies that I am experimenting with tinting my resin casts. As you can see from the images, some of the results are pretty horrible. I bought the generic craft store tints (the set for $30) and not the one that was specifically made for the resin brand, because it was way ...

Some neat finds from Home Depot of some Miniature Christmas Trees. To pick up where I left off on my last post, I want to show off some mini Christmas trees I bought from Home Depot! I was clued into this by Barb, the Flying Piglet when she showed off her purchases on her blog. Thanks Barb! You can find them by all the seasonal, holiday stuff (usually up front). Th...

Some Holiday Headaches and Happiness going on in the miniature world at Amazing Miniatures I’ve been meaning to post earlier, but last Saturday morning, my MacBook’s screen would not turn on so I ended up doing a whole lot of freaking out. On Sunday, I was able to bring my laptop to the Apple store to diagnose the problem, only to find that the GPU (video card) is fried and that it needs ...

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...

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...

Showcasing miniatures by Mel. Do the scene above look familiar? Well, if you’ve watched Alice in Wonderland lately, it should! The cakes and goodies above was created by Mel, of Mel’s Miniatures. I found her by browsing around Etsy and found her etsy shop and then her blog. After some more browsing, I realized that she was the f...
