Fisherman's Cottage



This cottage has been very interestingly made. The front of the house pictured above is actually a cover! It sits on top of what is below, and the windows match up. So clever!

A Ruin in Miniature

Irish Cottage

This dollhouse is based on her grandparent's cottage in Ireland, a place she used to go and stay at. The question is- where was there room for her! I suppose on the floor but even that would be squishy! What a great tribute to her grandparents.






I love that the bed is partially behind a chimney!

1:144 Scale Pub









This is Insomesmallway's rendition of an English Pub. It is all wood, and it is made from laser cutting, a technique that can create some very finely cut wood products. They've called it The Swan, and it looks like many pubs in England.

The Pub sits on a base just 5 1/2" wide and three inches deep. It has a main room, an upstairs lounge, and a Games room. The back roof lifts up and the back door opens to view the interior.

This is a 1:144 scale dollhouse miniature- the tiniest scale that people use on a regular basis. It's 'Dollhouse for a dollhouse' size.

In some small way

Snail House At 'Night'






This is the snail house at 'night'. Go here for more photos of it!

As you can see by the size of the furniture in comparison with her hand this is not a 1:12 scale miniature.

Anthro Snail House












This is something very very different.
To find more photos of it, please go to her blog at ilonessa.

It is a house made in the back of a giant snail with a human head.

Midnight in the Secret Garden of the Fairies









This was made by a friend of mine.

This impressive structure is based on an old Medieval walled town in Germany. It’s a Tower, with a walkway on one side of the wall,and a garden with a water fountain on the other side. The Tower is three floors; dungeon, middle floor landing, and the lookout area. An archway on the ground level is the entry into the garden.

All of the faux stonework and shingles are hand-carved, each
individually out of Creative Paperclay® and hand painted and
aged. There are real glass tile in the fountain and raised patio area. The structure is fully electrified from original torches on the walls, to the blue neon-like light that shines from under the eves, archways, and inside of the water fountain. This blue light produces moonlight like shine in the dark. The moon dial and the trunk-pedestal it’s on also glows blue from within.

The tower is removable for access to maintain the wiring,
along with the doorway under the stairs that allows access to the light controls.

Over 800 hours went into this piece.
