Miniature Park in a Terrarium

This miniature park in a terrarium was fun to make. And a little challenging. Only one side of the terrarium opened, so we had to carefully remove the other side. It is not easy to place things when you can only reach in from the top.  The grass is made from a washrag painted with different shades of green.  My …

Pumpkin Graveyard Diorama

In 2014, I discovered Pinterest and all the amazing things that can be found there. I began looking at fairy gardens, which eventually led me to dollhouse miniatures.
