Work in Progress

Showing off a prototype for a dollhouse miniature cardboard deer trophy head where I modeled a deer from scratch and sliced it up to miniaturize it. As a treat to my email subscribers, I hinted at a project I was working on in the first newsletter sent out in July. The picture above was what I included in the newsletter. I was intentionally ambiguous. I didn’t want to make it too obvious, lest things did not turn out as expected. 😉 But I am sur...

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 This has been sitting in my drafts for a while (heck, part 1 was posted in March!). It’s about time I finish up the part two the of Black and White furniture since part 3 and 4 is sitting on my desk right now and need to be written about too. The picture above is the Squared Squared Bookcase x2, wha...

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. ...

Amazing Miniatures Post Sorry for the lack of posts. It took longer than expected for the assembly, photography, and image editing for the first batch of furniture pieces I’ve been working on. Warning, lots of photos ahead! If you visit my Etsy shop often, you should recognize the Ikea inspired miniature Expedit 4×4 in bla...

Amazing Miniatures Post I was supposed to post this yesterday, but I got caught up with a bunch of work. Better late than never! So do you like the table above? Its called the XCurve dining table and its one of the furniture pieces I’ve been working on. I made a few of these prototypes and I wanted an excuse to give one aw...

ScrapBook Paper for Minis! My Recent Acquisitions I went on a mini-shopping spree for minis last week! I’m quite pleased with some of my purchases. The hardware store had contact paper that had a Faux leather print on it. ZOMG the possibilities! It would work great as flooring, but I think I’ve found my Nyne kitchen floor! But while at the craft st...

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...

Trying to figure out a proper placement for the front door of the Nyne House, an original dollhouse designed by Amazing Miniatures. This is just a quick post.. Remember the post where I was mulling over where to put the main entrance for the Nyne? Well, its been decided after the Reac chairs came in the mail! I set up where I planned to place the chairs and it does indeed allow ample space for the main entrance to be on the \rig...
