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, buildingContinue reading "Tatsuya Tanaka Continues Building Tiny Worlds in his Daily Miniature Calendar Photo Project"

I have been working on a miniature circus, which you can see here. I had it almost finished, but making the animals was holding me back. Finally, I came up with a simple form in a paper mache style that seemed to work pretty well. Using a 20 g. wire, and pliers, I made an armature for each animal. Just sort of a line drawing in 3-D to hold the form. We have our elephant here. a giraffe, and a tiger, to jump through a flaming hoop! Then, using tissue paper I had lying around, I stuffed it in and wrapped around the shapes until they looked right, and secured with masking tape where necessary. This sort of makes them look like poor little wounded animals in an animal hospital, so let's fix them up quickly! I used just what I had at home already,an made a sort of quick paper mache. I tore strips of tissue paper ( used green b/c I was impatient, but white tissue paper would probably work best), and painted the surface under and over each layer with a watered down white glue mixture. This takes about 24 hours to fully dry. When they do dry they are lightweight but very sturdy, and ready to be painted. I did apply one coat of white primer to them first, before adding color. They really came to life once I added the details: the spots, stripes and faces. They just need some props! The hoop was made from 20 gauge wire with felt flames glued on. Then I painted some old wooden bobbins I had for the base. These bobbins came in handy. They also worked as stands for the elephant and the performers. You can see the finished Circus these animals belong to here!
I mentioned some time ago that I had an icicle production line on the go. I'd experimented with melting and stretching clear plastic rods to make my icicles but had little success with this method. I've seen others can achieve great results but personally I found it too fussy and very hard to control. So I tried my hand at another technique. I cut lots of fine triangular slithers from on old blister pack with a pair of scissors and attached them to a plastic rod for ease of handling. I then used water effects to bulk them up and round them out. The trick here is to work with the icicles upside down so the the water effects pools at the base - where you want the thickest part to be. Just as with the slime and drips technique it takes a fair few coats to build up sufficiently but I'm very pleased with the result. I can trim them to the desired length and fix to the base as and when I need them.
Growing plants vertically maximizes space, and can also require less maintenance. Here are several ways to do it.

Anonymouse is an anonymous group of artists who spread magic all throughout the streets of Sweden by building these adorable mini mouse-themed miniatures and displaying them in public. The first work of Anonymouse appeared in 2016 in the Swedish town of Malmö—it was a tiny little nut shop and an Italian restaurant. Since then, many other fascinating masterpieces have been born, from gas stations and shops to amusement parks and even castles.
Follow We are reblogging this very old post because no one really noticed it the first time around and we think it deserves a second look. Also, Corinne is sick with a cold and she takes all of our excellent photos (the dark and blurry ones are all my work) so we are going to put a brand new post on hold till she is ready to take some excellent picutres of the tiny Amish quilts we are making. I decided to add some books to our dollhouse library. I thought an herbal picture book would be perfect as it could have pictures of herbs that I like, and I wouldn't worry about text for this first book. First, figure out what your cover will be made of. I used felt but faux or real leather would also be nice. Fell free to alter sizes. I will give you the measurements for the book in the picture. Cut the felt into a 2 1/2 x 1 1/2 inch rectangle. Glue a small rectangle of thin paper on to it. Glue on 2 3-inch pieces of string. Next make some blank pages for your book. These will be 2 1/4 x 1 1/4 inches. They should be on thin white paper except for one end paper which should be colored or patterned paper. Now find some tiny pictures to add to your book. I used Google Images to find lots of herb images. Your rectangles will be folded in half to make two pages so make sure to locate small pictures. Cut out your blank pages and fold the white ones in half. Leave the endpaper flat. Glue your pictures into the book. I used three pages. Stack your pages together with the colored endpaper facing up. Use a sewing machine or stitch by hand right down the center. Glue your end paper down on top of the felt. Make a title and glue it on. I used Harrington size 8.

Photo by Jonatas Cunha mBEE HUMMINGBIRDm Mellisuga helenae It's the first day of February and I need to distract myself from the Canadian winter. The world's smallest bird is the Bee Hummingbird. It is found in Cuba. I'd never seen a good photo of a Bee Hummingbird until today when I came across this one above. This bird is 2" or 5 cm. long. The Bumblebee Hummingbird from Mexico, at left, is 2 3/4" or 7 cm. long. In Cuba, the Bee Hummingbird is known as "Zunzun". It weighs as much as a Canadian copper penny. My neighbour, Frank, visits Cuba a couple times each year and has seen this bird. Vagrants occasionally show up in the southern Bahamas. There...I feel much better about this dreary February day having shared this little bird story. Please comment if you wish. BtheB Ps.
