We have new neighbors! A herd of 7 miniature donkeys, mostly females, has moved into the field next to the house. We are utterly charmed! They are adorable and very friendly.
This is my summer series of miniature mushrooms. Not sure yet how many I will make of these, but a few more :)
Don't the neon colors remind you of summer?!
Our Museum
Visit our museum and allow yourself to be transported into delightful magical miniature worlds. The museum’s collection contains over 600 miniatures including room boxes, houses, and exquisite individual items that have been created with painstaking attention to detail. Museum exhibits change each quarter.
What are miniatures?
Small size copies of familiar items have existed for thousands of years. Over 40 centuries (yes, 4,000 years) ago miniatures called burial figures were placed in the tomb of Meket Re, a powerful Egyptian official from the Eleventh Dynasty. These figures were sealed in the tomb and were meant to set the stage for Meket Re’s next life. The Egyptians believed this would allow him to carry his lifestyle with him into the next world. Indeed, miniatures have appeared throughout history and are still created today.
The museum’s collection contains hundreds of miniatures including room boxes, miniature houses, and exquisit individual items. Also included are collections that may be tiny or full size. These rotate throughout the year.
Our Story
Three Indiana artisans created the museum in order to preserve and display scale miniatures and antique dollhouses, and to introduce this art form to others. The vision of these three women was to insure that collections of quality miniature room settings, houses, and individual pieces would not be lost to future generations.
Thanks to the support and enthusiasm of volunteers, over seventy thousand visitors from all over the world have toured the Museum since it opened in 1993.
Children comprise one-third of museum visitorship. Through miniatures, children learn the concept of architectural scale, the decorative arts, and the importance of detail.
Whether it's the miniature reproduction of Hoosier athlete Major Taylor's bicycle or an example of the beauty of the exterior architecture of a Victorian home, the Museum of Miniature Houses is a fantastic place for adults and children to enjoy the arts, history, and crafts. It is a museum of fine arts in miniature. Museum exhibits change each quarter.
King's Wizard's Miniature Crystal Ball
Made of clear glass with natural occlusions, this handmade miniature scale crystal ball sits on two “silver” findings. The top reminds me of a ruffled collar and the base is very ornate with scrolls and a beaded bottom edge. It stands ¾” high.
Continue our miniature Oribana project ... This is a mini version of our Oribana composition called AWAITING from our Oribana Delight collection.
We scaled down this oribana composition before, but never to this size. The whole Oribana is just 4 inches (10 cm) high with the rose being only 1-1/4 inch (3 cm) in diameter.
The featured origami designs are Tea Rose with leaves & stalks and our Cylindrical Vase. Used wonderful washi, hand-made Japanese paper Moriki Kozo for the rose, vase & some.leaves and somegami the greens.
The diagrams are published in our ORIBANA DELIGHT

I made this little book (about 2"x1.5") AFTER making the little doodle of the strange sea creature that graces its cover.
The book is made with thin air mail paper, handbound in a traditional manner with green thread, it has gold thread endbands, and a gold paper cover. The inside endpages are made from pink and yellow hand-marbled paper. The little sea creature was drawn with a micron pen then hand-colored with ink, and cut out with an exacto knife.

You can pretty much ignore these pics...I'm playing with photoshop, and tried the Tilt Shift fake editing (making real life scenes/objects looking miniature) for the first time ^_^
I got some new vintage dollhouse furniture, so I played around with photos :)

Gao lak, gao lak! Who wants a bag of freshly roasted gao lak (chestnuts)?!
I'm always drawn by the fresh aroma of the churning charcoal wafting from the mobile chestnut cart.
Made these miniature chestnuts for a special commission (all of these goes into a tiny glass jar). I happened to be eating the real ones during my trip, and so I saved a few from the bag, and brought them all the way back to my sculpting table for reference lol.
