Your sense of humor is killing me. "My heat gun has since died so this is hard for me to watch." I know the feeling. Every time I eat Smart Food White Cheddar Popcorn or cook frozen shrimp for shrimp cocktail I think about my cat who passed in July 2021. She had thyroid disease and was almost 20 so it wasn't unexpected - she lived a long life. She loved those two foods. I can't eat them without still wishing I could share them with her. So missing something you once had is understandable.
"But you know I didn't stop there" you are funny but I love it. lol Inspiration is the name of the game. Thanks for sharing I like listening to you. Have a great day
Probably going to watch this a dozen more times to really take in all the versatile techniques you demonstrated. I’m so excited about the egg shells and blueberry loaf! The wrought iron and the tiny tiles!!!
Thank you! I love making a bunch of minis like this for a project. It's a pain to edit and do the voiceover, but the crafting and discovering is fun. All of your feedback is much appreciated 🐱
I kept saying-out loud- oh my GAWD, how adorable! Oh, no way! Whaaaaaat??? And this to the point that the human AND feline members of the household were looking at me funny. 😂 Absolutely brilliant work, amazing tiny details that make the project just stunning. So inspirational! Thank you for sharing your discoveries and techniques.
I have literally no explanation for it, but something about miniatures makes me feel so joyous. I'd describe it as "celebratory". Seeing that teeny tiny little egg makes me want to run around giving out free high fives. Like how some people feel after watching their football team make a particularly impressive goal. But with impossibly small kitchen items.
@@queencityminis you certainly have an insane aptitude for it! I can't imagine how much creativity and trial and error it takes to discover all the strategies and materials you have. And you're so generous in sharing every step with your audience! I've been wanting to get into a new artistic hobby for a while, and I really think it's going to be making miniatures/dollhouses. The community seems very welcoming and supportive.
Here’s a good tip I discovered when making tiny round wooden legs. Get a drill, Dremel or flex shaft and open the chuck and insert the toothpick. Close down the chuck tightly and then sand or file while you are running the tool. It helps to have one that has a variable speed so you aren’t running it at a really high speed. I especially like my flex shaft for this because it has a foot pedal which allows me to run it at whatever speed I want and I have two hands free. If you’re using a Dremel or a drill then just clamp it to a table top and now you have a mini lathe to use.
Such a great tip! I own a Dremel but I never use it. I need to get into the habit because it's such a useful tool. It's currently packed because I'm moving, but once I set up a new studio I'll make sure I use it.
Love all your makes but so many in this video had me squealing "No way" in delight & awe at your ingenuity. The little tiles & the chair cushion ties have to be my favourite cos they demonstrate the patience and lengths you go to, to bring these miniatures alive. My mum would have loved your videos - particularly this Goose Egg one! ❤👏👏👏
hehehe 7ish mins in, those are for perming your hair! teehee, my mom used to use those on me when she would perm my hair at home. oh my goodness, i remember how she permed my bangs too, hey man, it was the 80s, and i was like 10 at the time :D i love your channel, thanks again for sharing your content, work and how you make your minitures. very inspiring. can't wait for more!
Making the cement tiles from the pot holder was Brilliant! I actually have that exact pot holder, it's fun to play with, lol. Wood Glue has become my favorite glue. I had made a chair and wanted to sit a teddy bear in it. Used some clay from DT and Hoped it would air harden. No such luck, it wound up being plasticine. 😐 Didn't want to wait until I bought more clay, so I painted the bear with a few coats of wood glue. When dry, painted him with acrylic and then some Mod Podge. That was over a month ago and the bear still looks perfect! As long as it's an item that isn't handled much or squished, regular clay coated in wood glue works! And he doesn't stick to his chair, that glue sealed the clay just right. 👍
Priceless! Just what I needed today… Heck, your honesty and lightheartedness is a gift everyday; in these heavy, dark times… While life is hard and for many, not at all pleasant; you have the gift to create great art and walk people through - how-not-to-take-oneself-too-seriously and to enjoy the simple process… the journey. Thank you
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that. I've been through tough times in life, like so many others. It's nice to find a reprieve somewhere. I'm glad I can be that place for some people.
Of course, you always make me laugh and smile! I really like what you did with everything in this project! You and Ara have taught me SO MUCH! Painting fabric with fabric softener is AMAZING, too! That is my most favorite treatment! Thank you, gurl. ❤
I’m glad to see this project again. I watched this right before Little Gretchen went live so I’m glad I remembered to come back and comment. I really love the way the countertop turned out! You so clever 😂. Sorry to hear about the painful loss of your heat gun, I know how much you rely on it. May a new one be with you soon if not already. You crack me up every video. xx
Thank you! Gretchen's live was fun. My phone died toward the end so I wasn't able to say goodbye or see who won the last item. Congrats on your win! I'll definitely get another heat gun, but I still need to bury my old one 😆
I can’t decide which piece is my favorite, they are all just precious! We’ve owned a flooring business for over 30 years and your use of self leveler for tiles was fun to see. We have used thousands of pounds of it over the years. They turned out awesome! 😊
Thank you! I'm a contractor and have done a lot of remodels. We always use floor leveler before flooring. It's especially helpful when you're laying down sheet. That's also how I discovered the double-sided flooring tape.
How funny, this is how I got into dollhouse miniatures. I started out as an “egger” making tiny dollhouse scenes using goose, emu and ostrich eggs! Love it!
I'm so happy, that you made again a "real" crafting video (not with a template/or less templates- and no Haul!), these are my favourites! Your calm mannor, on point, but with a prize of humor really inspired me (together with the videos of some japanese creators) to start my own channel, sharing a few ideas I havn't seen so far on YT- and it's real fun!😊So thanks for your inspiration! - Why don't we get to see the furnitured egg at the end, I'm so curious?!🙏
The Goose Egg House!! And so many lovely things with which to furnish it!! I am so utterly excited! So many of these creations are very clever; the egg is brilliant and easily accomplished. Thanks!! I can't wait to see it all come together! I'm so sorry for the loss of your heat gun...
I want to tell you THANKS!! for the tip on double-sided tape. What a game changer. Making a project with foam board and cardboard. I was nervous about putting it all together with glue. I could see one big warp happening. Used double sided tape--done!! And I also love your humor. Look forward to all of your videos. Thanks!!!
I have subscribed, although I don't make any of these things I love seeing the minis. My aunt made a victorian doll house years ago from scratch (mainly). It was amazing to watch it grow. She was always adding things and changing things as she got new ideas. I still have my dolls house that my grandad made for me when I was five. He made all the furniture and carved bricks in wood for the front facade, it has glass windows! It's about 3ft square and has a fitted kitchen. Unfortunately he was taken ill before he could put in electrics like he did with my cousins one. I'm 54 this year. My aunt helped me renovate it for my daughters 4th birthday. I then did a few more bits to it for my granddaughter as part of her Christmas present in 2014 when she was five. Who knows maybe one day I'll have a great granddaughter to pass it on to. Have a great day from a chilly England 🏠🏴😃
You are wise to use a dust mask with and cement or plaster of Paris product. Inhalation of these products, if done to long can lead to a condition called silicosis. And it is always fatal. Love the goose egg dollhouse!
Well said! I watch remodel channels on RUclips. It's awful how many people sand drywall and mix concrete etc without wearing a mask. I wear a mask whenever there are any airborne particles.
This was amazing from start to finish! I cannot believe all of the teeny tiny things that you made! And they are all so perfect! I’m gonna have to watch it again right away! Also I’m so sorry to hear about your heat gun RIP
the bit of veneer possibly could be from a basket repair kit. my mom was a longaberger lady in the 80s and we had several handfuls of wooden basket strips and leather strips for repair work. fantastic for mini work. You are so good at this that you are literally making me want to ti.e travel to swipe supplies from the past.
Awww that's awesome! Funny you should mention this, bc I bought basket making supplies from the Goodwill Buy the Pound store the other day. They're so lightweight, they were practically free. I'm excited to make some minis.
😂😂u make me laugh so much with ur humour 🤣 😆 I just love it ,and your work is absolutely phenomenal it blows my mind with the idea s that you come up with and the details 😮😊 hugs from Australia xxx ❤❤
Thanks for reminding me that those ball stylus' can be found at Dollar Tree. I find many crafting item there. I recently ordered a pasta machine to make 18" doll food from polymer clay. This is the reason I watch miniature crafting. I pick up techniques and ideas but make items much larger (a lot easier to work with, too). I checked my local Hobby Lobby because I decided to buy a separate oven just for baking polymer clay. I remembered seeing one at Hobby Lobby when I was buying the clay. It was $50 so I promptly went to the nearby Walmart and checked the prices of the smaller toaster ovens. They had some for $19.98 and one was $13. I bought the $20 one. Why spend $50 for one that is just as good for $20 ? Hobby Lobby had clay sculpting tools but none included the ball stylus' so I didn't think they were worth the money to get a lot of tools when toothpicks or safety pins would work. Not sure where you get those small bells but I look for them after Christmas when they go on sale in the earring and jewelry section. I use them to decorate doll clothes (elf costumes) or to make doll necklaces. Always searching for "stuff" for miniature projects. Love your videos, techniques, and ideas. Thanks for posting.
I'm the same way. I love finding a bargain. I got the bells in 25 cent grab bags from a local dollhouse store called Earth and Tree Miniatures miniatures.
Love love loved it ! Fantastic skills you have . could watch you work all day long and listening to your thoughts cracks me up … omg them adorable eggs ❤ xx
@@queencityminis using the potholder to mold the tiles is genius! I knew there had to be a way but couldn’t think of anything. Making the wrought iron bell holder, the string bows on the chairs and the detailing ideas on the paper flowers, etc! I make plants and flowers out of paper so that is very topical for me. I’m so glad you decided created this channel, love your videos. 🥰 You are talented, down to earth and funny!
You have so many awesome ideas and tips! I think the egg shells were my very favorite, and something I had never thought of (so much easier than trying to make perfect egg shapes!!) Also I really want to check out that cement. It looks so easy and made great tiles! Thanks for another wonderful video that I'll definitely go back and watch again!
Thank you! The eggs were so easy to make. I first discovered Henry Feather finish on Pinterest years ago. To this day, people use it to cover their laminate countertops to transform them into concrete countertops.
This was a Really Good Video! I got So tickled when you used the hair " end papers" as Parchment paper! I got so tickled because that was one of my "Barbie years miniature supplies! Everything was Great but That "cracked egg" was My FAVORITE!!
Thank you so much! I got the end papers from a miniaturist who collected so many minis over the decades and crafting supplies. I bought 12 boxes of minis from her for $200.
I LOVE IT!!!!😂 YES YES YES BECAUSE THAT IS TRULY AN OLD SCHOOL MINIATURE SUPPLY!!!! IT'S STRAIGHT OUT OF THE 70's and 80's when we used to "Roll" our hair at night to have curls in the morning 😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ WOW my Age is truly showing!!!!!
Some of my other favorite miniaturists here on YT are Making Miniatures with Josje (she is AMAZING), The Miniature World of Kit and Caboodlers and My Froggy.
I’ve been using wooden candle wicks when I need thin slabs of wood. Check it out as it looks very similar to that piece of “vintage thin flooring” you were talking about
21:15 I don't know how you come up with all these ideas or your unconventional methods of getting the results you want, but you definitely get the best tiny little items! I love everything you make! P.S. I got a heat gun from Temu. It works well! Can you tell me where you got the little cocktail sticks? I got some from Temu, but they are very thin! Much smaller than a regular toothpick.
Thank you! I have the Temu fancy toothpicks as well. I love the small size since I have the larger ones as well. I got my fancy toothpicks from Target.

What a quirky cat 🐈 She had great taste in snacks. I'm sorry for your loss ❤️
Even when they have longer-than-expected lives, it’s still never enough time. 😢
"But you know I didn't stop there" you are funny but I love it. lol Inspiration is the name of the game. Thanks for sharing I like listening to you. Have a great day
thank you. I appreciate that 😊
Excited hairdresser watching you use end papers 😂
That's awesome 😆
The cracked egg! 🤯
So many clever things!
Thank you! I love when an idea works out exactly as I imagined it would
You are my favourite miniaturist and my go to for most of my work and you still amaze me with you talent ( gush gush).
Aww. Thank you so much!
How ADORABLE!! You are just such a great miniaturist and an inspiration I LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEOS !!!!!
Thank you so much! That means a lot
The chairs are so, so cute. So is the blueberry bread. RIP heat gun.
Thank you! Ugh, my poor heat gun. It happened suddenly. At least it didn't suffer. I'll buy a new one when I move. Probably a new used one.
I really love the idea of using the medical tape to prevent fraying too much, but allowing it to fray slightly. The eggs are cool, too!!
Thank you! It worked so well.
Probably going to watch this a dozen more times to really take in all the versatile techniques you demonstrated. I’m so excited about the egg shells and blueberry loaf! The wrought iron and the tiny tiles!!!

Just borrow it and return it with tiny fragments of cement in it 😆

As an egger with pet geese, I love this! Since i have unlimited eggs, my dioramas are always in eggshells from button quail to ostrich.
That's so sweet! I love that
Every time you finished one it became my favorite. 😂 ❤
That's awesome 😆
The egg is so cute!

Oh wow! That's so interesting. People were still perming their hair when I was growing up in the 90s. I was born in '87. Thank you!
All hail the Queen!! Jaw dropped on the egg shells!!!!
Thank you! So easy and so damn cute
Love your sense of humour :)
Thank you 😊
Using the silicone heat pad as a mold, brilliant!❤
Thank you! Apparently it's from the Dollar Tree
Love, love, love the tiles. What a great idea to use a silicone pot holder. I also really like your frames. Have a wonderful day.

Ok SO MANY good projects and clever ideas. Like making the spoon in two pieces and gluing them separately to the bowl?! So clever!!!
Thanks so much! 😊 I tend to take the path of least resistance. I don't like tedious things like trying to make one perfect spoon.
Thank you so much, you always inspire me.
You are so welcome! Thank you 😊
Omg!! The cement tiles are absolutely genius! I showed my sister and she has no interest in mini stuff but even she thought it was incredible lol
Awesome! Thank you 😊
So freaking cool. I can see me rewatching this quite a few times.
I won't stop you! 😆
Those tiny eggshells are genius! 🥚 I love how your tiles look too. 😍

Making the wrought iron bell holder, the string bows on the chairs and the detailing ideas on the paper flowers, etc! I make plants and flowers out of paper so that is very topical for me. I’m so glad you decided created this channel, love your videos. 🥰 You are talented, down to earth and funny!
You are a great inspiration, thank you .
I appreciate that!
You have so many awesome ideas and tips! I think the egg shells were my very favorite, and something I had never thought of (so much easier than trying to make perfect egg shapes!!) Also I really want to check out that cement. It looks so easy and made great tiles! Thanks for another wonderful video that I'll definitely go back and watch again!
Thank you! The eggs were so easy to make.
I first discovered Henry Feather finish on Pinterest years ago. To this day, people use it to cover their laminate countertops to transform them into concrete countertops.
This was a Really Good Video! I got So tickled when you used the hair " end papers" as Parchment paper! I got so tickled because that was one of my "Barbie years miniature supplies! Everything was Great but That "cracked egg" was My FAVORITE!!
Thank you so much! I got the end papers from a miniaturist who collected so many minis over the decades and crafting supplies. I bought 12 boxes of minis from her for $200.
I LOVE IT!!!!😂 YES YES YES BECAUSE THAT IS TRULY AN OLD SCHOOL MINIATURE SUPPLY!!!! IT'S STRAIGHT OUT OF THE 70's and 80's when we used to "Roll" our hair at night to have curls in the morning 😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ WOW my Age is truly showing!!!!!
So creative I love it.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you! 😊

Using nail polish is a great idea!
Thank you! It's similar to enamel paint.
Some of my other favorite miniaturists here on YT are Making Miniatures with Josje (she is AMAZING), The Miniature World of Kit and Caboodlers and My Froggy.
I love them! Thanks for sharing
I’ve been using wooden candle wicks when I need thin slabs of wood. Check it out as it looks very similar to that piece of “vintage thin flooring” you were talking about
That's a cool tip! Thanks
❤❤❤
21:15 I don't know how you come up with all these ideas or your unconventional methods of getting the results you want, but you definitely get the best tiny little items! I love everything you make!
P.S. I got a heat gun from Temu. It works well! Can you tell me where you got the little cocktail sticks? I got some from Temu, but they are very thin! Much smaller than a regular toothpick.
Thank you!
I have the Temu fancy toothpicks as well. I love the small size since I have the larger ones as well. I got my fancy toothpicks from Target.
I Love the egg shells!! Everything is just Amazing and tiny! I was wondering do you think that paper clay would work too on the silicone potholder?
I'm not sure. It might be hard to fill and get into the details. Worth trying though.
