It feels like Saturday.
Thanks. It was a pain to make, but it's my first ever miniature (and my last lol).Love the little miniature drum in your avatar!![]()

Yes I really wanted to make a miniature drumset but I wanted one that really looked scale and not just a quick facsimile. Most of it was easy. The shell is just a painted and rolled piece of manila folder. The hard part by far was making lugs that looked scale. I made them from polymer clay but had to create a silicone mold for them first. It was a nightmare because the pieces are so small and I didn't really know what I was doing.Wow, you made it?!
That's even more impressive.
I love miniatures, and even more when they actually work.![]()

Thanks! A lot of it was just attempts that failed. Watching people make miniatures on youtube is what got me interested.I've never been into dolls, but I've always loved dollhouses and doll's accessories.
I may or may not be found scouting toy sections because of this.I'm just fascinated that such tiny things can be made to scale.
I remember a time when miniature purses, backpacks, clutches, etc. for dolls were a big thing, and since I also love bags, I found a pattern for making ones like the very expensive versions in the stores. I figured I could just make my own from scraps.
But once I realized how tiny the pieces were, I gave up, lol! There was NO way I was going to be able to accurately sew and assemble microscopic pockets and handles. My fingers aren't nearly that nimble or steady, not to mention my lack of patience!
I do love watching some of the miniatures channels on YouTube though.
Knowing how much work you must have put into that drum, I give you nothing but kudos and a high five!![]()


Yea I can't imagine having to sew those tiny clothes. They must hire elves to do it.I've never been into dolls, but I've always loved dollhouses and doll's accessories.
