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.

Rodney's Bait and Tackle Shack PDF Print
Wednesday, 17 September 2008
Rodney working on the bait and tackle shopMy hubby's neurologist gave me the idea of working with Rodney to create a miniature scene centered around something he liked doing. Rodney has always liked to go fishing at our coastal area. So, the idea came for making a bait and tackle shack such as would be found on a small pier in the waterway.

Painting the ceilingBecause this was a miniature of something he liked, I knew it would keep his attention even for a short time each day. I started with some of the simple things I knew he could do, like painting the ceiling. He also helped glue on the board and batten siding outside and the wood panels inside. After those were dry, he used "Weather-it" to give the building a weathered look.

Weathering the screen doorThe window trims and screen door were also weathered.  For safety's sake, I did any cutting and sawing of wood pieces.
