About Me...Welcome to My World of Miniatures
|
Hi, I’m Cassi—also known in some corners of the web as MiniMaker. I live in beautiful Northern California and have been captivated by miniatures for as long as I can remember. In 2004, I built my first 1:12 scale dollhouse, and I’ve been immersed in the art ever since.
My passion lies in creating miniatures that feel real—pieces that tell stories through texture, detail, and historical accuracy. I’m especially drawn to period builds, where every element is thoughtfully researched and crafted to reflect the time and place. Whether it’s a weathered floorboard or a hand-painted portrait, I believe the smallest details make the biggest impact. I built this website in 2005 to share that passion, promote the miniature arts, and support the incredible community of makers and collectors who inspire me. You’ll find resources, inspiration, and a deep archive of videos on my video blog, Creating Dollhouse Miniatures. While I no longer update it, the collection remains a valuable reference—featuring over 1,000 videos from talented miniaturists around the world. I also love turning everyday materials into miniature treasures—what some might call “trash to treasure.” My goal is to make miniatures a hobby that’s not only beautiful and expressive, but also accessible to everyone. Making your own miniatures isn’t just rewarding—it’s affordable, empowering, and endlessly creative. Thanks for visiting. I hope you’ll explore, get inspired, and maybe even start building your own tiny world. |
