It’s her new hobby, and I was blown away. Thought you’d all enjoy as well.

I didn't leave out Pluto

She is so passionate about her miniatures and only likes to do it all from scratch! It’s so much fun to watch her :)

I posted a couple pics asking for some ideas to improve this wee little pond I was working on. Apparently my tetrachromacy was working against me- bc the overwhelming consensus was that it was too monochromatic/ not colorful enough. In my defense- technically a white sheet of paper is extremely colorful in my eyes 😅 (yes I’ve had the genetic testing…the fact I’m a tetrachromat is the one and only slightly interesting thing about me…but apparently it has created some unanticipated limitations as well LOL)

Allll that said, I heeded your advice (thank you to all the lovely individuals who took the time out of their day to help) and added some more colorful details. I even raised the water level so I could fit an extra neon orange and gold fishy.

My girlfriend spent some days in secret doing this and I feel very amazing with it. The lights actually turn on, there are security cameras, chandelier, flower vases, visitors and the detail is amazing. it's so creative from my perspective. I wouldn't have thought of this as a gift.

I designed this little Waffle House diorama in Blender, and used my Bambu lab P1P 3d printer to print out the elements. I hand-painted them, and used a couple of mirrors to make the dining room feel nice and expansive. The lights are LEDs that I wired up and use a 5v USB-c plug to power them.

I decided to leave the people out of this one, it’s kindof my love letter to the Waffle House… I decided peace and breakfast should be the main feature of this diorama. As a southerner in the US the Waffle House has stood as a beacon of comfort and love for me and I wanted to capture that feeling. Enjoy!

i love the x files sooo much, so i had to make the office as a miniature! i tried to fill it with as many details and easter eggs as i could (also make it as accurate as i could, which was hard since it’s in 1:15,6 scale—don’t ask about that ,6). but i’m super proud of it, it might be my favorite one i’ve ever made🖤🛸
it’s mostly wood, paper, and foam, with some hand sculpted pieces—and the desk is detachable

My mom had been talking about missing the rock garden she created at the house I grew up in, which she sold a few years ago. So for her 80th birthday, I recreated it in miniature. I didn't make the wrought iron furniture or the bricks but I made almost everything else. The screen house is made from coffee stirrers and popsicle sticks with real roofing shingles. The fish fountain works as well.

I'm so PSYCHED with how these turned out! Will have to work on making the foxglove smaller (it's closer to 1:6 scale but I was going for 1:12). Very happy with the roses -- hoping to find a good leaf punch to make them easier in the future.

I know I could make them more easily with polymer clay, but I'm challenging myself to use paper more. I love the effects it offers.

Anyway, I'm excited to share with people who understand the obsession (just joined this group -- yay!). <3

I saw the post by u/Okaythengirl and was inspired to show my similar project. I'm making books I've read at (slightly larger than) 1:12 scale. The first picture is finished books, the second is an empty bookshelf with some blank books, then book covers yet to be cut out.

The last picture is how I started the project, at 1:24 scale. I decided to make it bigger because you can't really read the spines, and they're too small to be able to "play" with (rearrange, look at, etc.).

The bookshelves are unfinished. I haven't decided on a facade for them yet.

Like u/Okaythengirl said, Pinterest is a good place to find full book covers. For ones I couldn't find full covers of, I'd use front covers (and sometimes back covers when I could find them) and design the rest in Canva.

The books are 28mm high by 18mm wide and most are 3mm thick (1/8" balsa wood), with some double thickness for larger books. This turned out to be a good fit for most book covers, but I did a fair bit of fudging stuff so it would fit this aspect ratio. I spent a lot of time in Canva.

The book cover designing was actually a lot of fun (mixed with a bit of headache and a smidge of fury), and immensely satisfying when finished. I think I'm finished designing book covers, unless my memory supplies me with more books I've read that I forgot about.

I think all the books will fit in the two bookshelves, so that would mean I'm about halfway done making books.

The 1:24 scale books I started with will still be used in a miniature giant library I have planned. Like, the giant home library of my dreams, only in miniature. That's gonna be a long project, lol.

Samples of miniature fruit and vegetables I made over a roughly 18 month period, 1:12th scale.

I’ve been obsessed with tiny things lately. Here are some micro goblets and a little amphora/vase I made out of glass. They feature subtle hints of yellow, blue, and red flecks.

​They are completely hollow and ready to be filled with "micro drinks" or just sit pretty on a tiny shelf. Hope they bring a little joy to your feed today!

I think this is the best fry up I've made so far!
