  1. I've just come back from a few months hiatus, while I've worked on improving my techniques for making mini pottery. Put a few of them on Etsy, though I've got more I'll be adding by and by. Perusing the forums, I see that I should be using some other measure of scale than a dime, so with upcoming photos I'll change that scale prop. MesoWorks at Etsy. I'm also on Instagram, same name MesoWorks, but won't link in case it's not allowed. I have more stuff on there, just for show not necessarily sale.
  2. Hello! Extreme newbie here, and not exactly a member of the dollhouse community (yet?!). I have a question for you, however! If I should move this post elsewhere or anything like that please let me know. My passion is creating mini ceramics, often with somewhat intricate designs. I especially like Maya, Southwest American Indian, and geometric ornamental designs. My family insists that I should create pottery for the dollhouse community and I figured I'll give it a try. I'm going to start attending craft fairs and maybe selling on Etsy and would love to get your opinions on what styles of ceramics appeal to you. The issue I think I'm going to come across is making them small enough while still retaining the type of intricate designs I like. Right now, for instance, my plates average 2 inches across, far to big for dollhouse use. Right? Or are there some cases where this would be an okay size? Looking around other sites like Etsy it seems they max at 1 inch. I don't have a pottery wheel or kiln so I can't yet make the nifty jugs and such. Shaping them by hand is too difficult. Mine are made from air dry clay or polymer clay, depending on what I'm making. Would this make a difference to you, as long as the result is still pottery-esque? Styles! What styles are you personally interested in? Victorian floral? Chinese porcelain? Plain Raku ware-like? Other? Please give me your opinions, because I want to know what kinds of things would be the best to make! Forms! Which are most desired? Plates, bowls, other crockery? Would you want them individually or only in sets? Anything else you can think of to help me in this direction? I'll link to an image of my latest batch, quite an eclectic mix. Like I said, far too large for dollhouses so I'll have to miniaturize further. I'll also include a couple images that have been photographed more professionally, so you can get an idea of my style. Pottery Examples Moroccan Bowl Native American Style Vase Maya Vessel Thank you!
  3. Hello! I just joined up on advice from my family. I've been making miniature pottery/ceramic pieces from polymer clay and air dry clay for a while now, and have been considering making them even tinier so they can be used in dollhouses! I do like the idea of them being used, and not just shut up in a box somewhere (as they currently are). While my pieces are so far mostly plates or vase/jug forms, I hope to branch out to more conventional pieces as well. Crockery and such. My designs often center on Central American (Maya, Panamanian) and Southwest American Indian (Acoma, Hopi, Mimbres...) designs, as well as Greek and Moroccan, but I also do other abstract geometric designs and floral. Also birds. I know the former subjects aren't really conventional for dollhouse pottery, but I'll still make some. I'll include a few links to my pottery, as well as a somewhat informal picture of a batch that I just varnished. I know they're too large at this point for dollhouses, but I shall work on shrinking them. I just received good advice on making sure to thin them out as I scale down. If only I had a kiln! This would be so much easier with real clay. http://pipperd.com/images/PotteryExamples.jpg http://pipperd.com/images/Med_1.jpg http://pipperd.com/images/Morrocan_1.jpg (yes, I spelled Moroccan wrong when naming the image...) http://pipperd.com/images/NAmerican_1.jpg I also want to make miniature paintings. I've made a few but am unsure what subjects people would like. I know what I'd like, but I have strange tastes. Landscapes and Still-Lifes kind of bore me, I'll admit.
