The Gnome's Cottage
New England Miniatures Blog. Click on the pictures to enlarge them. Tuesday, October 30, 2007. A can of Danish Christmas cookies illustrated with works by the Dutch artist Rien Portvliet was the inspiration for this project.

The Nuthouse
Friday, November 2, 2007. Here you see the home of Miss Ida Nutkin. It's fairly small, but big enough for one. Miss Ida, for I feel I can call her that, having worked with her so closely for the past several months, finds it cozy and more than adequate for her needs. Here we see Miss Nutkin at her door luxuriating in the morning sun. Next you can see how the Nuthouse was created. It took me 22 days to complete this project. 22 working days, that is. In calendar time, it took quite a bit longer. They give...

The Pumpkin House
Friday, June 13, 2008. What to do with a styrofoam pumpkin. I bought some of those fake pumpkins for jack o'lanterns for Holloween and wondered if it would be hard to turn one into a dollhouse. It wasn't as simple as I thought it would be, but I like the way it turned out. You know.after all the trouble I went through to run in that light, I find I don't like it after all and I might remove it. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). New England Miniatures Links page.

The Bungalow
Click on each picture for a larger view. This is a project that was inspired by early 20th century American bungalows. I’ve set it, however, in the present day. Clay bricks were used for the bottom of the posts and the walks. I prefer to peel the bricks off their backing, placing them closely together, not using any “mortar”. I wanted my bricks to be a bit redder in color, so I painted them. I also carved a tree panel for the front door. The knocker was made from a piece of an earring. By the way, the lo...

Dec 1936 issue of Better Homes and Gardens. Better Homes and Gardens cost 10 cents in 1936. This was a pretty slim issue, and I must confess, not all that interesting.
