Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas! It wasn’t a white Christmas this year, but it’s warm enough to wear a light winter jacket instead of a heavy winter coat.
The mini barn needed a tree plus present and a cat. Because cat.

Here’s a decorated stall closeup. I bought the tinsel at a local doll house store and found the wreath in a bag of random doll things.

Here’s Misty and some of my riders taking pictures. The one holding Misty was made by Ann Field. I’m not sure who made the other one.

Misty and tiny Misty.

Red Queen and riders.

I hope everyone has a nice Christmas and a Happy Holiday! Thanks to all of my readers. You all are the best. 🙂

Christmas Eve

Since the start of break, I’ve been working on my breyer barn. My original plan was to be really productive and make progress of tack things.

But then Lizzie came over and encouraged me to start working on it.

So I did. First came the staining and taping.

Decorating came next. Here it is!

I’d say it’s 95% done. But it’s at the point where pictures are possible.

I’m really happy with it and am glad I worked on it.

Merry Christmas Eve!

Mini Books

June 18, 2015December 28, 2024Kristian Beverly6 Comments

Last night I started making miniature books. These are the ones I made.

From left to right: The Fault In Our Stars, Paper Towns, Black Beauty, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets,
, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and ,Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.

After finishing the saddle I wanted to do something fast. So miniature books happened.

Over the past couple of months I’ve pinned various book jackets to my pinterest board called Miniature Projects. Some books I found with a google image search. Here’s the links to the ones on pinterest.

Black Beauty

The one that got me really excited I found the other day. I decided to give it a try.

Harry Potter Covers

I scaled the covers down to be 1:9 scale. Because the Harry Potter book covers were the hardback dust jackets instead of paperback, I decided to make them into miniature hardbacks. I used thin cardboard.

After I cut the covers out, I glued small packets of white paper inside and modge podged the cover to seal it. Once set, I could open them up like real books, but the pages are blank.

I really do like how they came out. The Harry Potter book covers were a little blurry, so I only made 3 of the 7 books. I have all of the *real sized* ones and have most in hardback, so I think I’ll try scanning my copies and making new miniature ones.

Size comparison.
