Life in Miniature

Tiny Gardens, Doll Houses and Landscapes

There is a fascination with all things miniature, and it's not new.  I remember as a young child making moss gardens and visiting entire tiny villages that barely reached my waist, complete with thatched roof cottages.

If you have the overwhelming compulsion to make your world in small scale models, you're not alone. 

Gardeners are intrigued with fairy gardens and include little bridges, patios and pergolas.

Terra cotta pots of all sizes are no longer discarded when they break - instead, they're made into whimsical and appealing little scenes, like the one below;

Miniature scenes are built in a shallow dish with moss as the main character;

Doll house miniatures can be built from twigs or other discarded bits and pieces. 

I built a tiny porch so that it can be decorated for the season with tiny blankets on a twig chair, baskets and boxes of fruit and tiny fire logs.  The chimney was only the first part of the project - more to follow;
