Miniature Crafts: How to Make Realistic Miniature Bricks
Do you like to make miniatures that are replicas of items that you collect in real life? I sure do! If I decorate my life size home with something I will make it in miniature form in a heartbeat! I go to yard sales and estate sales and can't help but look for and buy old paint brushes. They have so much charm. I decided to make tome tiny ones and they turned out so cool! Gather together some old or cheap paint brushes that you don't mind cutting the bristles from. Cut out hole punches from cardstock. This picture shows aluminum foil but it didn't work for me. For the silver "metal" part of the paint brush I wound up using some silver plastic from a pill casing. You could just cardstock and paint it. Take the hole punches and glue six or seven together with just a dab of wood glue between each one. I used my ice pick and made an indention in the middle of the hole punch stack and glued in the end of a toothpick. The purple on is the tip of one of the paint brushes I used. Take your metallic piece and cut a strip about a quarter inch tall. Glue it to your hole punch stack leaving a sort of well for the bristles to sit in. I hope that makes sense. Choose which bristles you want and, holding the bristles tight between two fingers, cut a wad for your brush. Place glue in the well of your metallic piece and place the bristles inside. It's ok if the bristles are longer and shaggy. You're going to trim the to the length and shape you want after the glue dries. Then paint up however you want! The other paint brushes here are made from stacked up cardstock. So much fun to make! Don't you love that?? When you make one of something and wind up making several because they are so easy and fun to make! Hope you like them! XOXO

When children let their imagination run wild, even their food can become a plaything (much to their parents' dismay). Tanaka Tatsuya, an artist in Japan, never lost that wild imagination – he has created a playful tiny food diorama every day for the past 4 years and put them into an online calendar.
Since April 2011, art director and photographer Tatsuya Tanaka’s imagination has built a magnificent number of miniature worlds (previously here and here). Through the artist’s clever lens, everyday activities like construction work, walking the dog, getting a parking ticket, and plowing through a blizzard become delight-inducing scenarios. Tanaka also plays with pop culture references, building staple skyscrapers for Godzilla to prowl. You can see more from Tanaka’s ongoing Miniature Calendar project on Instagram, where he shares his creations each and every day. More

The world of toys is only meant to be enjoyed by kids and not for adults – right? Wrong! While it is true that most toys are meant for kids, there is no rule that says that adults cannot or should not enjoy toys. In fact, we will go so far as to say that certain toys are too precious and delicate for a child to truly enjoy them. While there are many cool kids toys that you can make yourself, these miniature toys may be a different ballgame altogether. Just like you cannot expect most kids to understand the fascination that adults will have for some remarkable examples of stained glass over the ages, they may not be handle the world of miniature toys in a safe and correct manner.

This miniature HO Scale Victorian house is based on Southern Bed & Breakfasts but modified to be a personal residence. It is the tallest HO Scale Gold Rush Bay Victorian house yet, 5in wide x 4.5in deep x 7in tall. Last photo is an example of a customer-painted model. A miniature of a little girl's dream doll house, an architect's delight, and a revitalizing haven for travelers, the Nob Hill Victorian House from Gold Rush Bay aptly rests comfortably amongst her Victorian brethren. And it exhibits the finest example of Victorian Gothic architecture. One of the first things noted about the Second Empire Gothic Style Victorian mansion is the exterior's ornate gingerbread trim. The style was introduced by Northern carpenters to replicate Northern houses built in the South. Admire the decorative use of the finest oversize doors, moldings, balustrades, dormers and gables that reach toward the heavens. The Nob Hill House presents a manifestation of a true treasure trove of Victorian details. The house is made of white plastic (PLA) and is hollow on the inside so miniatures enthusiasts can modify the interiors as they see fit. Exterior can easily be painted with any acrylic paint. Due to the fragile nature of this item, it will be shipped as securely as possible. However window details, finials, or railings may come off in shipping. Not meant to be a toy as small details can be fragile. Good luck and happy modeling!

Hi Everyone I completely forgot to post pictures of the first Cardboard House I created last month in April. I was inspired by a picture I found on the right that another miniature enthusiast had created. So I had to try and see if I could make the San Francisco looking house myself using cardboard. It took me about 2 weeks to complete in my free time and Days of cutting cardboard strips with scissors. I thought my fingers were going to fall off with thousands of cuts to create the siding and windows and shingles. Ii didn't want to make an exact copy of the house but to give it my own touch. I think it turned out really cool looking and is so lightweight and the cardboard is so sturdy and hard once it was glued down. I really loved using the cardboard, it was a great medium to use. I hope you all enjoy! Me trying to get my walls to look like the small picture I had to create the house from. One small pile of cardboard strips and hours of cutting.
For nearly a decade since the late 1970s artist Takanori Aiba worked as a maze illustrator for Japanese fashion magazine POPYE. The following decade he worked as an architect and finally in 2003 decided to merge the two crafts—the design of physical space and the drawing of labyrinths—into these incredibly detailed tiny worlds. Using craft paper, plastic, plaster, acrylic resin, paint and other materials Aiba constructs sprawling miniature communities that wrap around bonsai trees, lighthouses, and amongst the cliffs of nearly vertical islands.
