went to visit the stettheimer dollhouse at the museum of the city of new york yesterday. the tiny rooms were truly so inspiring. i want to make all the tiny things! the creator also seemed fascinating, i want to research her…

my second tiny fantasy miniature: the swamp shack.

sketch to finish for a recent project :)

last christmas, i wanted to take an excuse to try out a new diorama technique by making tiny fantasy environments for each of my siblings. here’s the first one: a little magical observatory tower.
