Fine Scale Miniatures

Tools in You to Create

Getting back to using Things you see as Tools to Create

Fine Scale Miniatures start in the simplest places.

I enjoy looking at any craft pattern in front of me and beginning to imagine it in mini. Just about anything you encounter as far as that is concerned can be miniaturized.

So when you're out and about at craft fairs and the like, let you imagination go to see just where and what you too can miniaturize.

I say where because some places just cry to be in mini. Like for instance some cities. New York is one of my favs. However I haven't as yet miniaturized it. That would be a daunting task to say the least.

Doll House Accessories of your Choice

Great Books to Study

Doll House Accessories of your Choice. In the miniature world these days there are many types of materials used to accessorize your creation. Some materials are: cloth, clay, wood, metal, dough, glass, pewter or porcelain to name a few.

In the book Creative Dough Crafts we find a quaint but amazing miniature. Brigitte Casagranda isn't solely creating for her tiny world however. She is simply illustrating how we can use dough in any particular fashion we want. Both in large and small patterns.

That said however she does have a dollshouse featured in her book. Which as you would imagine is a real draw for a dollshouse lover such as myself. The projects she outlines in her volume are worth getting into also.

Though as we look inside her book we find that she is using, not a store bought version of modeling clay, but her own homemade dough substance.

As we miniaturists look at these types of books the challenge for us would be to miniaturize all we see inside the pages. And that goes for any larger pattern book we may possess as well.

It can be done and by you. Start recalculating each feature and make your design in scale for your special structure in whatever size you happen to possess. It would be fun and a rich labor of love for doll house accessories.

Making Miniature Oriental Rugs & Carpets is a book about just what it states. However the rugs and carpets are absolutely life-like, realistic gems. If you desire something for your mini that looks real in this department then acquire this book and get started. 'Tis to drool over really.

Soft Furnishings for Dollhouses makes use of fabrics of all sizes and shapes. This book has 215 Enchanting NoSew Designs and Patterns for you to stop dreaming over and get started at the finishing touches to your collection with. I know it does take time to finish all that we would like to, right? However no time better than the present, as they say.

What makes the books I have suggested great are the amazing prices they were listed for. You could at one time literally walk out of Amazon with an arm load of knowledgeable books - all 3 for under $5. (Taxes and shipping not included.)

So what is available in Mini Furniture?

The Dollhouse Mini Furniture Category

In the dollhouse furniture category there are a lot of items available. So many in fact that you really have to do your research thoroughly in order to get exactly what you are wanting. For each of the rooms you design.

Let's not forget that where and when you desire to include any type of item into your dollhouse environment you can always take the route of making your own furnishings also. Some would rather buy what they need than make any item however. And that's perfectly fine too.

What you will find though are: kits, plans, various styles, brands and prices ranging from minimal to designer. The designer category is amazing and pricey as you can well imagine.

Doing your miniature furniture shopping wisely is the first step in your success in this area.

This World is all Up to How you See it

Creation in your Mini World is in the Eye of the Beholder

Fine scale miniatures are a personal choice.

Whatever takes your fancy is not unrealistic or stupid or uncreative or not to be pursued. In other words, it's all up to you. Not anyone else.

And I think that's the best news of the day. That you can do what and how you desire. Let your imagination be your guide. You can only win by doing.

Until next time... The sky's the Limit.
