Miniatura

Sandra and Geoff create 1/12th scale miniatures using a variety of materials, mainly polymer clay, resin and pastel powder.

We are based in a small village north of Winchester and started making miniatures just over a two years ago. All miniature items are unique and designed by us in a variety of settings from miniature scenes in book nooks to complete room settings.
In no time at all we became completely hooked on all things miniature and began creating other items including 1/12th scale tables filled with realistic food made from polymer clay and a variety of other materials. Home baking, jam making, party buffet, Sunday roast, Italian themed complete with 1/12th scale olives and even a witch’s spell making table to name but a few.

As we progressed further ideas emerged, some more quirky than others.! Geoff’s imagination and ability to create something totally original resulted a potting shed lamp made from an old watering can, complete with a miniature flowerpot man, a replica farmhouse kitchen, an old outside toilet in a wooden case.

A large range of materials are used in our creations, the main being wood and polymer clay. Anything that requires water, for example a kitchen sink full of dirty dishes with bubbles floating on top is made using scenic water and a syringe.

We are currently working on a Dickens style library /study book nook , handmade bookcases full of leather bound books , a desk covered in old books and manuscripts as if Dickens himself was working , a glass of whiskey on a small table , a working lamp for a subtle glow.

Every time you think you have finished a piece another idea springs to mind.

We now find we look at everyday objects with a different eye , would the lid of a detergent bottle make a bucket , would a piece of netting make a wire fence, the list is endless.

With so many ideas floating around we are never bored , which I feel sometimes would be a luxury !

We are regular exhibitors at craft fairs , mainly in the New forest area and are gradually getting a following of other dolls house enthusiasts

All our creations come with a certificate of authenticity to show they are original and made by us.

We are more than happy for anyone interested in what we do to contact us for further details or just to talk about the world of miniatures.
