Can’t believe half the year’s flown by already, but I am still writing tutorials, a big personal goal for this year!

This tutorial is focused on miniature room dividers… specifically of two varieties (there are so many… I could have written a book honestly): the solid paneled type (which I painted), and the kind of see-through woven string type. They’re very different vibes, but I love them both :)

I also show steps on creating your own miniature hinges, which is how this all started because I was not happy with the existing mini hinges on the market (the metal they’re made from is always a little too thick :/).

ANYWAY, you can check out the tutorial here, happy crafting peeps.

Just popping by to say that I’m hosting a lil seconds sale for some jewelry and minis I’ve made in the past that either have a teeny blemish or are just no longer my art style any more.

Half of the sales revenue will be donated to a local non-profit that sends art supplies to underfunded schools here in Canada (more deets thru the link above), and some of the items are very heavily discounted (a few more than 50%)!

Have a good week wherever you are :-)

~ happy lunar new year y'all ~

My zodiac sign isn’t the tiger but it’s still one of my favs so I thought I’d make a tiny tribute to these majestic furbebs.

Largely made from wood, paper, poly clay & air dry clay.

Meant to post this earlier buuut here are some stills from my latest video series with Hunker. I built the living room of the hunker house in 1:18 scale miniature, then did a little holiday makeover.

You can catch the series on the Hunker instagram. It’s basically a few behind the scenes process videos showing you how I make some of the minis, which might be suitable material to veg out to in this little pocket of time between christmas & new years?

Hope you enjoy & happy new year!

Hi peeps, I just did a lil shop update because… it was long overdue :-]

I kinda went ham on making cushions so there are a lot of those. But there are also some tiny woven baskets and bowls, a couple of terrazzo tables, and also two embroidered armchairs (the green and the yellow one in my previous post!).

Anyway, hope y'all are keeping cozy and check out the shop if you’ve got some miniature loving fiend on your gift list this holiday season.

Hi peeps (another post so soon wowow), just popping on here to say that the auction is live for the OG mini armchair I made back in the spring.

All proceeds will be donated to a Toronto based non-profit called The Afghan Women’s Organization, which runs services for refugees and immigrants, especially those fleeing war and persecution.

Head over to my instagram to bid - I won’t be making another one of these so this is your one chance! Auction closes Tuesday, September 7th at 4 EST ✌

For the past few months, I’ve been renovating a secondhand dollhouse & modernizing it. The whole process has been documented in video, and you can catch the 14 episodes (very short ones :)) on the IGTV channel of Hunker on Instagram. [click here for the 1st episode]

The first pic is a snap of the dollhouse from the front view, and the whole ‘demolition’ process was way tougher than I expected -_-’

The biggest structural changes I made was to enlarge two of the windows (for the kitchen & bathroom) and to install battery operated pot lights for the first two floors. Wish I could include more pictures of the whole thing beyond the limit of 10, but I guess… you could just check out the episodes to see how the whole thing turned out :)

Merry Christmas & happy holidays folks ⛄

Here’s to the end of 2020 and brighter days ahead

I made this lil winter village scene on a whim, but prob won’t do it again because it took so. damn. long. Buuut I hope that ya like it, and thanks so much for following my craft journey! ✌
