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.

When I first became interested in miniatures, I had two small children. It's hard to take family money to support a hobby, especially one that can become very expensive. This was one way I found to bring in some "mini" revenue.

Nativity Ornament PDF Print
Sunday, 22 November 2009

 When I received the ceramic molds from one of the gals in the miniature club I belong to, it included a set of molds for a miniature Nativity. I decided to make an ornament using the figurine molds. After pouring, cleaning, firing the greenware, and glazing, I used china paints to stain the figurines so they would look like ivory.

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.

Okay, I admit I am a sucker for a good sale. Especially when the sale price is some of the miniature buildings I have always wanted. For some unknown reason, A.C.Moore has reduced the price of their miniatures and dollhouses. They REALLY reduced each component of the "Street of Shops" by Houseworks.

Smith Family Cookout 2008 PDF Print
Sunday, 06 July 2008

When my cousins come to down from the "left" coast, it's time to break out the grill and have a family reunion/cookout. Many times when we have these, we have games and prizes donated by various family members. A few years ago, I made a music box that contained a miniature scene of a parlor with miniature pictures of our parents and grandparents. My cousins put their names in for a drawing and one cousin took home my miniature scene. The winner was my cousin Gail from Portland OR.
