My nursery roombox

Welcome to Martie's Minis

I'm Martie and I want to welcome you to my web site. I love creating and collecting dollhouse miniatures. I have been a miniaturist for about 20 years off and on. In the past 5 years, I have returned to my passion of creating room boxes and other miniature delights.

I love to make miniature pieces for friends and family as special gifts. This web site contains pictures and instructions on how I made many of these miniature projects and current projects I am working on. I hope you will enjoy reading about my projects and the instructions provided.

St. Patrick's Day Celebration PDF Print E-mail
Wednesday, 30 January 2008
It's fun to create roomboxes and/or decorate houses for the different seasons and holidays. I actually started this project last year. However, I didn't finish it before St. Patrick's Day so shelved it until this year. Some of the items I made. Others I bought.

Kennedy's Nursery PDF Print E-mail
Tuesday, 29 January 2008

Finished NurseryWhen I got word that a co-worker and dear friend and his wife would get their fondest wish, the adoption of Kennedy, their baby girl from China,  I started thinking about what I could give Chris and his wife, Tracey in the way of a baby gift.  I wanted something special. Something that would be a part of me.

My Apothecary PDF Print E-mail
Thursday, 20 September 2007
Miniature apothecaryThe apothecary was created as a part of a small town the miniature club in Greensboro made to display at various shows. This was my contribution to the town. Each building resided on its own piece of real estate consisting of a grassy area, sidewalk, and a curb. When the town was shown, each piece of real estate with its building was placed together and street lights added to form the town.

Woodland Scene in a Cup PDF Print E-mail
Tuesday, 15 May 2007
cup_finished.jpgI have always loved the miniature woodland scene that Gay Stewart of Miss Muffet's Miniature shop had done in a cup and bowl. I photographed her miniature project and came home to do my own version. See how I made this miniature woodland scene. I ended up finishing this project and placing it in a glass dome with wooden base and donating to the bank where my daughter works as an item to be raffled for one of their charity fund raisers.

If this is a project you would like to make, here are the directions for making a woodland scene in a cup and saucer.
