Miniature Goldfish Bowl

Hello Everyone,

How are you? I hope you had a great weekend. Just wanted to pop by to share with you my latest creation.

I have been wanting to make one of these miniature Goldfish bowls so I gave it a try.

I made this tiny little goldfish and painted him in a translucent paints and I have to say it looked cute.

Then I got one of these empty glass bowls that you find from dollshouse and miniature suppliers and added it to it with some additional tiny little stones. Added the resin and I completed the fish bowl with a pedestal beneath it.

So far I have placed it in my Sea View dollshouse and placed it on the little elephant table that I made a few months ago.

Here is the final result for now. 

This is all for today. Hope you like my latest creation. Keep tuned for the latest updates and news.

Take Care and See You Soon.

Visiting Sicily!

 Hello Everyone,

How are you? Hope you are all well and that you are enjoying your weekend. Just a few days ago I returned from the beautiful neighbouring island of Sicily. 

Beautiful is an understatement! I got to visit the land of 'The Godfather' Savoca, Forsa D'Agro, Taormina, Ortigia and Catania. My heart always belonged to the city of Taormina but I have to say I fell in love with Savoca. The scenery is out of this world. 

Unfortunately, no matter how many places I have visited in Sicily in the past years, I never find any dollshouse miniatures. However, I found some Sicilian souvenirs in Savoca that will fit perfectly for a dollshouse. 

One of my favourite pieces is the miniature ceramic prickly pear tree in the pot. The country side is filled with prickly pears trees. It is something that Sicily has in common with Malta. They grow in the wild and at the end of the summer we eat the fruit which I totally love. 

In Sicily, you will find hundreds of ceramic Moro head vases all over the place that come in different colours and sizes. Usually they come in pairs and I am lucky that I found a tiny pair. 

There is an ancient legend about the Moro Heads which I find a bit squeamish and fascinating at the same time. The legend says that during the time of the Moor domination in Sicily, there lived a beautiful girl in the Arab quarter Kalsa (in the heart of Palermo) who loved to take care of plants on her balcony. One day she was noticed by a Moor who fell in love with her. The man told her of his feelings and the two were overwhelmed by desire. When the girl found out that her lover would soon travel back to the East, where a wife and children were waiting for him, she felt betrayed and sad.

Mad with jealousy, and feeling humiliated by the betrayal, the girl killed the Moor while he was asleep. In a fit of incredible violence, she cut off his head and used it as a vase in which she planted a bud of basil. The girl watered the plant with her tears and, as time went by, the basil grew luxuriantly. The heady scent of the King’s plant (from the Greek Basilikos) meaning Basil Plant caused the envy of the girl’s neighbours, who immediately ordered ceramic vases with the same features as the Moor’s Head. That’s how the beautiful girl started a tradition that is still in use.

I say I am very happy with these new miniatures and they fit so nicely in the display that I created. 

This is all for today. Make sure to keep tuned for the next updates and latest news.

Garry's Study Room

Hello Everyone,

It's finally the weekend and I can't wait to share with you the new micro project. How are you all? Hope you are well. Here I am busy as always and enjoying the last few weeks of the Summer break with the kids.

Today I wanted to share with you Garry's Study Room which is one of the six micro scale projects that I am building.

I have to say it was quite a cute project to build and looks great near Ava's Workshop. 

It took me a while to complete especially making the tiny little individual books.

Now that it's complete it will stay in Posy's Dollshouse for the time being.

Here are some close up pictures of the tiny dollshouse.

This is all for today. I hope you like this project. Make sure to keep tuned for the next updates with the new micro project.

Wishing you all a Happy Weekend.

Take Care and See You Soon.

Ava's Workshop

 Hello Everyone,

How are you? It has been a while since my last post. I hope you are all enjoying your summer. Here like always Summer is very hot but the best thing is that I get to spend a lot of the time with my kids.  Even though my miniature hobby slows down slightly so I can enjoy the Summer break with them, I still try to fit some work. 

Today I wanted to share with you a side projects that I have been working on. It's part of a series of six micro scale projects and this one is called Ava's Workshop. 

These micro scale houses come in kits and are really detailed. I enjoyed building them even though they are extremely tiny.

The furniture pieces are really tiny with their cute tiny accessories.

Ava's Workshop is actually a sewing room that belongs to a cute bear called Ava. 

On the first floor you will find Ava's little bedroom. 

The cute little house has battery supplied lights too.

For the time being it will remain in Posy's Dollshouse considering that all the teddy's live there.

Here are some more pictures of the cute little house.

I hope you like the little dollshouse. 

This is all for today make sure to keep tuned for the next upcoming new micro project. 

Take Care and See You Soon.

National Ice Cream Day

Hello Everyone,

How are you all? Hope you have enjoyed your weekend. Here in Malta Summer is blooming and with it we get the heat. 

Today it's National Ice Cream Day. Ice Cream is so refreshing and yummy and keeps us cool especially now that we are in Summer. 

I have made a few polymer clay miniature ice cream cones for the occasion. 

Manuel from The Coffee Corner Shop found good use for them and decided to hand them out to the children in Regent Street.

Here are some photos of the Ice Cream Event.

Hope you like this little post that I did to mark the occasion. 

This is all for today. Make sure to keep tuned for the next updates.

Take Care and See You Soon.

New Miniature Toys

 Hello Everyone,

Hope you are all doing well and that you had a great weekend. Finally, my glorious Summer is here and the kids started with their well-deserved long break. 

While working on my number one priority project, I still get to do a few miniatures that I enjoy making and that I can share with you.

During the weekend I built a few nursery kits and made a cute Humpty Dumpty. 

The first that I got to build was the old rocking horse. Akit by Melissa's Laser ville Miniwerld. I totally love how it turned out. 

Then I got to make the miniature Pull along duck toy from Iriginals. The kit was straightforward to do and I painted it in bright colours. 

The soapbox go-cart kit from Jane Harrop. An amazing kit I have to say. My hand-crocheted Peter Rabbit was so happy to try it out. 

Finally, I printed a miniature of Humpty Dumpty and hand-painted it. He sits very proudly on his stool and from there he will never have a great fall. 

All the toys are now displayed for now in the Little Angel's Toy Shop until they find their place in a new home. 

Hope you like the new additions to the toy shop. This is all for today. Make sure to keep tuned for the next updates and latest news. 

Take Care and See You Soon.

Here is a miniature scene that I made for the occasion.
