One of my favorite hobbies happens to be miniatures. I am still a beginner, however. It was not too long ago that I was in the local library and saw a show case for local miniaturists' room boxes. I was like a little kid stuck to the window of a candy store..."Ohhh, look at that! Its so tiny..." and then following into incoherent "baby talk" babbling. Now everything I see is a potential diy miniature for my doll rooms.
Unfortunately I know no one in my area who is as fascinated as I am and so, have no one to share this particular enjoyment with. And that is why I've created this blog.
I'll start off with a couple of fun questions:
What type of things do you collect for potential miniature makings? ex: beads, toothpaste caps, etc.
How many miniature projects do you typically have going at one time? I have five : / (I'll explain in the next post...)
Hi Brandy Rose! I saw your comment to Doreen and since I saw you were new to blogging about minis I would come over and say hello! Nice to meet you :) I think I save waaaay too much for minis now- and worse yet- my hubby is doing it too :) I always look at packaging differently now. I have 4 dollhouses in progress and 2 roomboxes- it gets a little addicting :) I can't wait to hear more about your projects!
ReplyDeleteHi Brandy. Welcome to the wonderful world of miniatures and blogging. You will be surprosed how quickly they both grow. I save everything as you might have noticed in some of my blog posts. I make my own things from scraps and throwaways. Toothpicks, caps and lids from all kinds of containers, bits of material, lace, ribbon, beads, buttons, twist ties, popsicle sticks - the list is endless. I even have my children saving all kinds of things for me. LOL I have three "junk drawers" that I toss everything in - just in case. Any questions - don't hesitate to ask. I also have no one near me to share the hobby with but I have found many miniature friends on line that have helped me.
ReplyDeleteHi Brandy! And welcome to Blogland.... lol.. You will never look at trash the same way again! I save everything... from pretty wrapping paper, to bottle caps.... And once everyone around you knows you collect 'trash', they'll start saving things, too... They're a lot of wonderful blogs out there too that have lots of tutorials:)
ReplyDeleteAnd as far as how many projects... I'm not too sure, I do know I need to get a lot 'finished'! Most of my 'houses' are almost done, just need those little final touches... But that's not to say that I don't have a million more ideas...lol.
Thank-you for stopping by my blog! You were right about being productive... lol... I think sometimes you don't really stop to think about all the little things that one does in a day....
Katie
Thank you all for the welcomes. I am the worst at replying to comments apparently!
ReplyDeleteI'm new to dollhouse decorating. Your post for mini lamps was linked in a dollhouse Facebook group i joined and I'm thoroughly enjoying your projects. I made jewelry for awhile until my vision became wonky. Then i did paint by numbers. I recently bought my own dollhouse from Craigslist so I'd stop driving my lil girl nuts rearranging her dollhouse.
ReplyDeleteDollhouse miniatures are so much fun, glad to have you with us miniaturists.
