Miniatures

My love for miniatures began when I was very young, back when my trolls needed homes as much as adventures. I was always more interested in building worlds for my tiny friends than in role-playing with them—creating spaces where they could live. Using old buttons, scraps of fabric, and whatever small treasures I could find, I built detailed little dioramas fueled entirely by imagination.

If you’d like to bring one of these miniatures home, they are available through my Etsy shop, Buttercup Bearz. You can also view a selection of my miniature work at Wild Apricot.

Our Lady of the Rosary

I was commisioned to create a miniature of a Church in San Diego to be give to the priest as a gift.The church was very old mission style building and the sides were very long and not very visually interesting. I decided to create the miniature church in a wood book that resemble a bible.

Small Dollhouse

I have 3 granddaughters that turned 10 in the same year. I wanted to make them each a small dollhouse that could be played with, rather than sat on a shelf. This design led to the creation of my custom dollhouse/roombox avaiable on my Etsy site.
