A cardboard cut-out dairy that I've had for years and finally finished. It's the perfect scale to use as a dolls house model building...
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.
I just got my Gargantuan Black Dragon today, so I thought it would be neat to line up all the dragons of differente sizes for a comparison.

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.

A new design was born in our paper garden - Yucca flower! :-) Got the inspiration from the Land of Enchantment, New Mexico, where Yucca is the state flower. So continuing our miniature Oribana project... and here is our new mini-oribana called ENCHANTMENT !
Especially designed for our upcoming exhibition in Albuquerque, NM, this origami Yucca flower will be a part of our 'Albuquerque Kingdom' origami display at Pacific Coast Origami Convention in Albuquerque this October where Yuri and I were invited as special guest-artists. Check it out - origamiusa.org/pcoc2013 :-) By the way, the exhibition will be at the Marriott Pyramid Hotel and on Saturday and Sunday, October 5th and 6th the exhibit will be free to the public!
Besides this brand new Yucca, the composition is featuring our design of Low Bowl-Shaped Vase. The vase is 3.5 cm (1-1/4") high. Each tiny Yucca flower, folded from 4-cm (1-1/2-inch) square, is just 15mm (1/2inch) long. The whole arrangement is 4 inches(10 cm) high.
Used a variety of Japanese papers here, origami paper for tiny Yucca blooms & leaves and gorgeous chiyogami for the vase,
Note for origami enthusiasts: The step-by-step diagrams on how to fold tour Yucca flower will be published in the convention book PCOC-2013 and will be in the convention package. See detail at origamiusa.org/pcoc2013.
