I absolutely love this artisan made kit from www.robinbetterley.com. I enjoy supporting small businesses and this kit was a joy! I had so much fun assembling this art studio in a paint can.
Check out Robin Betterley's Secret Books:

I have lots of projects planned like abandoned miniatures, Dollar Store furniture makeovers, room boxes, dioramas and Dollhouse Miniature decor, furniture and accessories in multiple scales. I also have a large Harry Potter build planned for 1" scale.

My husband used to paint miniatures. He discovered that one drop of dishwashing soap in a cup of wash would break the surface tension of the water, allowing it to flow better. This might help if you need to fill tiny bottles again, or if you're getting drop marks on anything you're using a wash on.

Thank you for that tip! I'll try that in the future. I also use black wash all the time so I'll use it now too.

Frida is my favorite artist. Not only because I can relate, as a chronically ill person, but for her character. She was ahead of her time and a much better artist than her husband, Diego-IMHO. Visiting her house in Coyoacán is on my bucket list! I’m so glad you made this project & shared some of her story!

Whoa I've never seen a stain pen that's so cool! It looks awesome ! 😁 Yeah the delicate bits always snap as soon as you try to keep from breaking them lol. My fave part is the paint brushes in the cup.

I got two stain pens at Lowe's. Little Gretchen has stain pens from the dollar store and they work great too. I do love the paintbrush cup, too. I didn't have any jars or glasses anywhere close to being small enough. Using the paintbrush tube worked great.

I think you are fascinating! How did you get started? I must admit I find you exceptionally funny as well. And your voice is very soothing! While constructing the wheelchair, You: they instruction say to be careful, the pieces are very fragile… and I immediately broke off the handle! Literally a snort take with a half swallow of coffee : coughing, crying and sore throat resulting, total laugh fest! What a fun morning!

That's awesome 😆 I grew up playing with Barbies and loved Barbie. I made a clay Corgi and some window boxes for someone else's dollhouse when I was in my early 20s, I think. I made some framed artwork for another friend's dollhouse and crafted a little bit with her a few years later. But it wasn't until 2020 I actually started making Miniatures on a regular basis and haven't stopped. A friend of mine was moving, and gave me a vintage 1:12 scale dollhouse kit. I assembled the dollhouse, attached to the shingles and the flooring, then sold it for $25. I was too overwhelmed by the idea of decorating the inside. I started repairing dollhouse furniture and remaking furniture. I did some kits. I took a miniature class and decorated a wine room box which is on my channel. I was watching Bentley House Minis 4 months and felt really compelled to start a channel. Now I pretty much make Miniatures everyday. I'm finally starting my large Gryffindor common room project after a couple years of thinking about it. Build up my confidence after making a small cardboard room box I hung on my wall and finishing some other smaller projects.
