Flower power

Today I present to you miniatures made by the best artist there is: Mother Nature. Perfectly detailed, high quality, 1:12 flowers.After seeing them I quickly made some (well, about a dozen, not all photographed) flower arrangements, and a quick scene, of course :) Some vases are made by me, but mostly bought, and pink rose I made myself :)

Oh-so-quickly arranged table, so sorry for that :) All the foods and the newspapers are made by me. As you can probably see, I started to make flooring on the mezzanine

 And for last, something I am really proud of: raspberry muffin!Yum! :)

Spring challenge!

 I have sooo many ideas, but always not enough time to bring them to life. So this spring I decided to challenge myself. I drew all the mini accessories that came to my mind and ended up with 67 of them :) I will try to make them all till the end of June. Wish me luck and expect a lot of minis soon!

For now, as I lacked time this week, I made two simple pieces :)

Chocolate and orange

One mini a day: day one.
I have abandoned my polimer clay for so long I almost forgot how to get around it. But I think this chocolate bund cake with icing and orange on top came out pretty good!

I arranged a little scene on the go, with slight spring-ish vibes. Cake and apple made by me with polimer clay, book and letters - also mine, rest bought from warious places :)

Love, Aloieu

I'm back!

And I have some great news! My dream house is now a bit more than some random pieces of wood. It is finally shaping into something! It will be a tiny house, a bit like an art studio. Right now I am going to wire it, make a kind of mezzanine and a roof :) So welcome to the first house warming party! A bit rough, with no flooring (and holes instead of windows, but shush) and barely any furniture - already is awesome!

Balcony doors are made by me from real glass (but unfortunately they are not openable - maybe someday) and they are missing a knob - maybe some ideas?

So so so excited to get back to working on it, so watch out for future updates :)

love, Aloieu

Yellow is the new black

Today I tried myself in making miniature flowers :) Making those daffodils was such a nice way to calm myself down after a long and stresfull day. They are definitely not perfect and I still have to practice a lot. But hey, those are more or less the fifth ones I have EVER made. Also today a tiny box arrived with the lovely green glass bottle I have ordered :) This is actually the second one as the first one got damaged during the delivery. But the shop quickly send me a new one :) So I couldn't resist making a quick scene. The croissant, bag, painting and the book are made by me, chair is REAC, and the plate and the cup are bought.

Baby steps...

Right now I am working at the much bigger project (which I hope to finish quite soon) - spiral staircase. I dare to say this is the most complicated miniature thing I have ever attempted to make. Not quite there yet, but I'm moving into a right direction.
Here are the two minis I did in the meantime, just to distract myself. Making a bag was so much fun and I look forward to making some more. And painting the abstract piece of art was a pure joy :) Now, back to work...

Hello mini world!

So, there we are. Hello!

I decided to start this blog because I want to share my progress in making miniatures, but more importantly, to get some feedback and advice from people with more experience in this field than me :) So I'm REALLY looking forward to getting to know all of you.

At the same time it will be a perfect place to gather my inspirations, useful links and tips for making miniatures, and to share my love for everything in miniature. Also, I hope it will prevent me from giving up too soon...

love, Aloieu ♡
