Twelfth scale dollhouse kitchen hooks

I love to make weird and wonderful furniture for dollshouses that you just wouldn't usually get in an ordinary house. In the picture above is a set of kitchen hooks I made for a 1:12 scale dollhouse. I'm very inspired by the fairy/woodland theme and like to make a lot of my pieces with pieces of natural elements included such as moss, small twigs, tiny stones...etc. I think it gives a lovely natural feel to fairy dollhouse furniture. I love owls too and couldn't resist including them in the kitchen hook display. This piece is currently available to bid on at my ebay shop http://www.ebay.com/itm/350896349389?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649#ht_757wt_958

Halloween dollhouse pumpkins, dolls and furniture

Here are my latest Halloween creations. I thought I'd try and cram a few in before the shipping dates get too close to Halloween. I've loved making pumpkins this year and have made so many with different facial expressions, in different poses...etc it has become harder and harder to think up new ideas for which kind of pumpkin to make next. I hope you like the ones I came up with. The miniatures in the photo above will be available to bid on through my ebay site from 8.30pm GMT tonight. The auctions will end this Sunday evening 8.30pm GMT. Please feel free to leave any comments or if you would like to request any custom work please leave a message.

Miniature snowmen for 1:48 scale dollhouse

I always seem to be thinking too far ahead. As soon as Autumn first appears already I am thinking ahead to the colder months and Christmas time hence making these cute little snowmen. Once I made one I just couldn't stop and made several. I have added my signature mini clay roses to the snowmen (apart from the grumpy looking one) just to give them a unique and colourful look. All are available from my Etsy shop (just click the craftcult link at the right of the page to be taken to my etsy shop).

Autumn miniature polymer clay dollhouse items

Well the weather has certainly taken a cold turn, it is feeling so much cooler lately so Autumn has definitely arrived. I was hoping we'd have some late summer/early Autumn warm sunshine but it doesn't seem likely at the moment. Nevermind, instead I have been keeping warm indoors and getting my Autumn miniatures made. I've got a bit behind with my miniature making due to two holidays I've been lucky enough to go on recently. With all the preparation for the holidays and actually being away my miniatures have been far and few between. Well it is back to work now and I'm hoping to devote more time than ever to making some more miniatures and also getting my Christmas items ready. In the photo above you'll see my latest creations handmade from polymer clay. There are a few little pumpkins, a pumpkin candy display, a black cat teapot and a tree man (who isn't quite finished yet but will have a lovely head of leaves added to the top). I will be putting some of these items up for auction on my ebay site later today (just look for the seller:fizzyclaret to find them). My favourite item here is the tree man (even if he is only half finished) as he looks so grumpy. I'm going to make a few more trees to keep him company I think.

Miniature witch pumpkin teapot

A cute Halloween creation I came up with yesterday. I love scarecrows and thought I'd incorporate the scarecrow look into my pumpkin witch teapot. This item has been completely handsculpted from polymer clay and then decorated with acrylic paints for extra detail.

This item is available in my etsy shop https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/fizzyclaret?ref=si_shop

Peacock heart wedding cake topper


These wedding cake toppers are my latest designs. Last night I went to bed and couldn't sleep for ages as I had so many images and ideas for new art pieces running through my mind. I must remember to keep a note pad and pen by the side of the bed as half the time I wake up in the morning and all the ideas are long forgotten. This time I managed to hold onto the new idea and the peacock heart cake topper is what I've come up with. I love the big colourful tails on peacocks and have used this as inspiration for the colourful tails I have here. This cake topper could be done in so many new and exciting colours and I can'r wait to experiment with it. I'm thinking of making a gothic style cake topper next with some darker colours and bright red roses. These cake toppers are listed for sale in my etsy shop https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/fizzyclaret?ref=si_shop please stop by and take a look for more photos from different angles.

I haven't forgotten the giveaway - I'm still working on a few ideas for what I will come up with and hope to have some news here very soon :)

1:48 scale dollhouse furniture and dolls

Here is my latest addition to the quarter scale dollhouse world. I have created some lilac rose polymer clay garden seating and a pale green mount board wardrobe with orange rose detailing on the front. The little rabbit dolls go perfectly with the furniture. The lilac rose seating would look lovely in a miniature conservatory. All items will be available in my ebay shop this evening http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OOAK-MINIATURE-1-48-SCALE-DOLLHOUSE-LILAC-ROSE-GARDEN-BENCH-BY-FIZZY/350826323032?ssPageName=WDVW&rd=1&ih=022&category=2461&cmd=ViewItem#ht_617wt_958.

 I'm hoping to be able to make some more pieces to match these very soon and also hoping to make some miniature furniture for a giveaway. If you'd be interested in winning some miniature furniture in the giveaway all you have to do is google plus this blog or leave a comment to say you are interested. I'll have some more details of the giveaway within the next few days and some photos of what you will have a chance to win.
