Today’s post is a little bit of this and a little bit of that–everything from mini food tutorials to new molds in 1:6 scale! First off, I have a new tutorial in Issue 185 of American Miniaturist. Learn how to make the tiny school lunch, complete with the cutest banana ever. Want to buy this…
While we work, the mice and I often have movies playing in the background, and yesterday ended up being a Tinkerbell day. A friend had recommended one of the new Tinkerbell movies, and now I can see why. The movies take place in Pixie Hollow, which is filled with tiny fairy houses and the most…
