more random minis

I found some random things that could be useful for minis such as a little key ring mirror that can be used in a bedroom and a little phone charm that can be used in a nursery as a night light, ok that was not originally my idea but I saw it in a shop and wanted to make it the same as the one I saw on the internet.

Also I found a really cute sewing machine from my Auntie that was in my sister's closet for some reason and was very dusty. I rescued the poor thing and cleaned it up so I could have my very little sewinng machine own. It's very light and hardly takes up any space, now I can sew till my fingers fall off!  

One more very random  thing is that my interest for minis has not just come out from no where as it seems.....My dads has appeared to have shown quite an interest to minis too. He also made a clay house way back before I was born, I think it's pretty good myself. 

Short post, I know....
Anyway, see you soon. xox

                                                                                                                                                                                         

What have you been up to??

This wasn't all that recent but I have been doing some mini-ing.
I made a miniature angel cake out of polymer clay, it's about 2cm long















A little duck, it can be used in a bathroom too. I made 2 because the first one got squished under the camera when I was videoing a tutorial of how to make it. I don't know why but I cooked the squashed too. You can see both of them sitting happily next to each other...(they weren't cooked yet, so that's' why they look a little moist.)

 Toothbrushes and toothpaste....

And a handul of miniature tomatoes and a giant mini bunch of bananas, very cute!

  Here are some christmas presents I made for my friends:

I made these out of polymer clay for my friend Joony's birthday:

Now for a tutorial....

How to make a miniature paperweight!
(this is completely from my brain though I seen 1 or 2 tutorials similar to this.)

You will need...
Clear glue, sharp scissors, laminated or photographed pattern or picture, craft knife or permanent fine liner pen and a transparent nugget - mine came with a jewelry craft set but you can use a plastic bumper like how it it was done over at My Small Obsession http://www.mysmallobsession.com/paperweightproject.html

1. Place the nugget on the pattern/ picture and draw or scratch out the shape of the nugget

2. Cut it out very carefully...

3. Put a very small amount of glue on the plastic and place the nugget on top of it very gently

4. Leave it to dry and when you will come back it will be ready to be put into a scene!

 

Finished! That was incredibly easy, I like to keep things simple. You can create loads by using different patterns and colours to make a neat collection!

See you soon! xox

(P.S. if you have been looking at the photos and thinking 'oh my, what skinny long fingers you have!', well your'e perfectly right. I have very big, long and skinny hands, do take note I play the cello, clarinet and piano. Sometimes if I stare at my hands for too long, they look really weird and alieny, it's strange, I always end prodding my hands to see what they're made of...yeah weird huh - you should try it yourself.....)

Very late report on mini christmas presents...

I forgot to tell you all about my mini christmas presents last year so here I am now telling you about them.....

Er...okay, I got the dollhouse I really liked from the dollhouse shop and I truly love it. Yes, it has 6 rooms but I like a good challenge, sometimes...Apparently it's supposed to be a colonial house but I'm not too fond on that topic so I'm going to treat it as a modern old house...if that makes sense. I haven't bought any paints for it yet, I have no idea when I'm going to start on it.

It came with a tiny cello, a weather cock and a door knob.

I also got 3 handy books about miniatures: 'miniature food masterclass' by Angie Scarr, 'A beginners guide to the dollhouse hobby' by Jean Nisbett and 'Making miniature food and market stalls' also by Angie Scarr.


That's all but I'm still pleased with all of them!

See you soon xox

Sorry for the extremely long gap of posting...I guess this time I don't really have an excuse. To tell you the truth, I couldn't be bothered...I'm sure you're very surprised haha!
As you may have realised, the pictures still aren't up from the Cologne trip. The picture feature is working now but the images are taking much too long to load. This isn't anything new but I become very impatient waiting about 10-30 mins for 1 or two pictures to load. There is so many pictures I would like to put up and have spent somettime trying to get a lovely picture to show you all. When I read other blogs, I find the most interesting and inspiring bit from the images, or if I couldn't be bothered (this is becoming a real issue with me now....) to read the text, I'd just scroll down and look at thhe pics instead.
If anyone who might be reading this has experienced the same thing, I would really like it if someone could post a comment (the very first!) and give some tips or anything, maybe even just a teeny 'hi!'. I would like to know if there is anyone who reads my blog or if  it's just me refreshing the pages over and over...I am aware of one of my very good friends - Melissa, who reads it a bit but I'm sure she can't be the only one. Of course I won't be expecting a comment  right away, knowing that I only started the blog in October or something...actually I wouldn't be surprised if there was no sign of anyone by the next couple of months, I won't stop blogging just because there aren't any comments(!!)
So if anyone can be brave enough to leave a little trail of existence....please do! - I won't bite! .'P

See you soon xox
