I adore this whole thing! I also bought the full Mimo 7-11 collection. I also have mixed it up with Re-ment, Megahouse and other boxed minis. The difference between this and mine is that mine overwhelmed me completely. Most of my Mimo is naked, stickerless and I'm highly intimidated by it. In my dreams, I have finished it and it still doesn't look as good as RLP's version. This is everything I could hope for and more. Although, I think I may be even more intimidated to finish mine now, lol.
Be sure to look closely at all the pictures to appreciate how well done all the staging, mixing and pictures are. The macro shots are gorgeous!

Ahhhh, Renatta. One of my favorite people and very good friend. Her pictures are stunning! Inspirational! And helpful! Yes, helpful. Renatta's Photostream here has many Sets and pictures of Re-ment and other interesting things; but her greatest contribution to Re-ment, etc is the creation of a website. Renatta has taken pictures of nearly each and every Re-ment and Megahouse collection and placed them on a free website for us to study and arranged them so they can be printed as a Checklist to keep track of your collection. This is a herculean task that is an ongoing project. If you are new to Re-ment, etc or not very familiar with it, I can tell you that there are literally thousands of individual sets! The picture I have chosen to show here is something she took special for the Re-ment Addicts group celebration of 25,000 photos! This picture has several secrets and is just a taste of what she has done. The lighting and arrangement are helpful, you can see all (or nearly all) pieces of each set, but they are also beautiful to look at. A pleasant way to spend some time.
Oh, you want to know where this wonderland is?

But fair warning, you may suddenly find yourself lemming after (strongly wanting) many, many things you didn't even know existed!

MurderWithMirrors is a very creative lady. She has taken many of the pictures in my Favorites. One type of picture is similar to the one you see here: many items within a type of food or drink. A series she calls Bunches of Food.
This is her Potatoes picture. You can see several Re-ment, etc potatoes here, but she also includes handmade potatoes. Some she buys and some she makes herself. The ones she makes herself are wonderful! She made the mashed potatoes in the green pot here and every time I see them, I crave mashed potatoes and butter. Tell me that doesn't look like real mashed potatoes; I dare you!
The other thing that I adore and have a great deal of respect for is the comparisons these pictures provide. I adore comparison pics, they are always helpful.
Yet another reason I love this series is the sheer volume of Multiples. Multiples simply means having more of any given item than normally comes in a single set. One must buy multiple sets in order to have Multiples. The Re-ment set with the baked potato with butter only comes with one per set. Yep, that's three sets you see.
The dedication to all the Bunches of Food is high. High in time, money and effort. The value her Bunches provide to us crazy miniaturists is fabulous! The art she adds with the items she makes herself is wonderful and slightly frustrating once you realize they are usually one of a kind items. In every way, MwM's Bunches of Food are awesome!

Grana makes absolutely beautiful photos as well as really funny Re-ment photos. I love her humor, it's rather unique and special. Her lighting and composition are excellent, but the subtle details are amazing. Look at the tire, it has gravel on it. The toilet paper rolls are probably Re-ment, but no Re-ment TP has actual paper, so the paper flying is all Grana's doing.
Check out her Re-ment, Megahouse and Domo Sets as well as others, all are wonderful.

Mayleur is a sweet lady who jumped into Re-ment, etc with both feet. She has created many beautiful pictures of Re-ment by doing ARAD, A Re-ment A Day. The dedication is huge for something like ARAD. Unfortunately, Mayleur was a bit overwhelmed, the way many are with a project like this, and she has largely stayed away since stopping her ARAD a couple years ago. I hope one day she comes back as not only did she make beautiful pictures I love to look at but she was a genuinely nice person. She added a spark to our miniature world for a little while and I miss her.

Aka*kirara has a fabulous collection and she always takes great pictures of fabulous set ups. She has several Mimo full-full sets and lots of other wonderful things that the average Re-ment lover doesn't usually get to see.
She doesn't always label all her pictures, but Aka*kirara and all her pictures are worth the effort of keeping up with.

Minita is a very talented person! Most of Minita's Sets are labeled by the names of Blythe dolls and she has some of the best Blythe pictures I've ever seen. Many of these Sets have Re-ment sprinkled throughout and there is one labeled Re-ment and one Megahouse as well. All are worth a look and I am not exaggerating when I say that I LOVE every single picture! I really, really do! I actually sort of ration them out and I only look at a couple at a time. Almost all of her pictures are so full of little details and surprises that you will want to spend several minutes looking at each. IMO, if you try to view them all at once, you will miss out on something. So take a look, fall in love and enjoy. And don't forget to read the comments, she is very generous with her time and answers many questions; so if you have a question about a picture, she may have already answered it.

Princess Di is another lovely lady (I know a lot of lovely ladies, lol). How to describe her though? She has a a gift for Aesthetics. Or as the dictionary defines it "a sense of the beautiful".
Everything in her Photostream is aesthetically pleasing to the eye and to a deeper level as well. The average person may not consciously recognize beauty in places where it isn't obvious, but most people will be drawn to these things subconsciously. Princess Di gets it and if you look at her pictures, you will too. She captures the simple and makes it beautiful.
I had a hard time choosing a picture to represent her and her many Sets of her many collections. She is a Blythe lover and a pillar of the community. She is a Re-ment and miniature Maven. And she has a knack for seeing beautiful furniture where you and I may see old, broken down Barbie toys. But the first picture I saw of hers is the one to the right, it's about the organization of her Re-ment and other collections. After following her from Nook 1 to Nook 2.0 and back to Nook 1, I hope she won't mind if I highlight her organization. It's an art to be able to cram that much stuff in so tiny a place and yet make it so interesting that people will come back to look over and over again. Don't be blinded by the cunning storage, be sure to see everything else too.
P.S. Don't forget to read the comments for Princess Di's pictures, especially the Nook's and their drama. It's a fun ride.

Karen has numerous sets that I adore! She is one of the reasons this Gallery has evolved from my Favorite Re-ment Sets to some of my Favorite Re-ment People. I could easily add 4 or 5 of her sets to this Gallery and it wouldn't leave space for others.
She is a *star* at mixing different brands of miniatures seamlessly. The picture to represent Karen to the right is a great example of her gift. I can see several pieces from Mimo full-full collections, Re-ment, Orcara and other miniatures. If I didn't recognize many of the pieces, I might think this is real. The lighting is also excellent in all her photos.
Here is a link to all of her Sets. Be sure to check all of her Mimo and Re-ment collections Sets and her Mini Snack Shop and the T for Candy Street Snacks Sets especially.

I'm a little ashamed of myself for not adding any Sets by APPark yet. She makes some of the most wonderfully detailed and intricate dioramas with Re-ment ever! Out of the hundreds of Sets she has, yep I said hundreds, this one is my favorite. This is a gorgeous kitchen that anyone, person or doll, would love to have. Here she has used the "new" Kitchen Littles kitchen (now discontinued) and pieces from a craft store painted alike in a pretty blue. I won't give away all the detials as Amber has very helpfully provided them in several of the pictures. So go to the photos, read all the comments and check out her other Sets for hours of viewing pleasure.
She has a series called Sin in the City. They are a little like soap operas and she uses dolls to tell the story lines. They are fantastic, full of detail and miniatures from all over. Check them out!
I'm throwing a shout out for the Parisian Closet Set too! Not a lot of Re-ment, etc, but still a lot of Wow!

TADA has some of the cutest pictures around. Her recurring characters make for some fun continuity. The picture to represent TADA to the right is one of my most favorite Re-ment pictures ever. It has many of my favorite types: multiples, mixing and humor. Not to mention the fact they are all excellent pictures; great lighting, composition, and overall excellent photography skills. She is definitely an inspiration. :)
Nothing here yet.
