I craft fine Fantasy & Spooky dollhouse miniatures in 1:12 scale, where one inch equals one foot. I also sometimes dabble in larger playscale, which suits Barbie sized dolls. If I can't actually live in a haunted castle or a magical pumpkin house, I can at least make myself one in miniature! My miniatures are usually OOAK, meaning 'one of a kind' and meant for adult collectors. I work with clay, wire, found objects, wood, jewelry parts, and whatever else I can get my hands on. I'm constantly collecting trinkets and treasures because I never know when a piece will be useful or inspire a project.

Here's a little slide show of some of the miniatures I've sold over the past 2 years.

WHAT'S BUBBLING AT CAULDRON CRAFT MINIATURES?
This is my other Blog, all about spooky and fantasy miniatures and dolls. I have tutorials, shopping guides, artist interviews, and featured themes. A few years ago, I used to work at a little dollhouse shop and when I brought my stuff in the customers would ooo and ahhh. I realized there was an interest in the more fantastical themes. Much thanx to that young English wizard no doubt! Anyhoo, I ignored the shopkeepers dire prediction that collectors only wanted pink teddy bears and Victorian roses. I set to work on boiling cauldrons, skeletons in closets, and coffins. It worked out rather well.
