LPCullen Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 As you have begun to do miniatures, whether building houses or accessories or furniture, or whatever, what has most amazed you that you can personally do? Please pick ONE thing, and ONE THING only! What has most amazed me is that I have been able to help people--whether it's wallpaper, brick tutorials, or painting techniques. I never knew that I would be able to do those things, and to teach other people what I have learned has really just blown me away! I remember, on the old forum, the first time I was able to answer a question and I had to excitedly email Tracy! Poor Tracy, she's had to put up with a lot from me, LOL! Anyhow, what's yours?

wenlaine Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 What a great question, Linda. I really had to think about that one because there are so many many things. But I would have to say, it always amazes me when I'm asked to make something for someone. Just to have others who share the same hobby liking the things you make and actually wanting one for their own dollhouses, well, to me, there's no greater high than that.

beccas1963 Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Learning to use my tools. It has made it so I dont have to rely on my brother to do something for me. And I think it has given me confidence. Like learning to rip wood. unless it is a real thin width I can do it myself still too chicken to do the real thin widths lol Bec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minijunkie Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 LOL..oh I am sorry. didn't read that part Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TinyJudi Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 I was amazed that I made just a nice wood floor for my sister's roombox. There are other things, but sticking to the one... Oh, can we post more than once? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beccas1963 Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 dont know about posting more then once but I will lol. I am amazed that even though I dont have people where I live to share my minis with no groups or anything. I have found great online friends through this. When I started it was like I was the only person that did it lol. Bec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharon Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 I was amazed when I started my dollhouse (first one still working on) and started to cut walls to make changes to the original design. What a great feeling to customize a kit and make it your own! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 what has most amazed you that you can personally do? Create something in mini that looks like something "real"! The first time I showed pictures of my Cambridge I got "Wait a minute, is this a REAL house?" Now you have no idea what a blast of the "warm fuzzies" it is when someone asks me to make them something! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueUni47 Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 I guess I would have to say that building my dollhouse and finish it even doing the shingles by my self and also learning to make the minis that I need to decorate with.

Hallowell Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 I'm amazed that what I do is newsworthy, when the local paper found out about my hobby they wanted to do a two page spread and it took off from there, now an online magazine and Down East magazine are doing articles on my hobby. I constantly get phone calls telling me of their houses and also people wanting to sell houses to me. Yikes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IAK Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 It still amazes me that I was able to build the Garfield as my first dollhouse! When I think back to when I picked it out I had no idea how big of a project it would be and of where it would lead me...into the amazing world of miniatures!

chesterfieldzoo Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 This site amazes me. The nice people, the amazing talent, the amount of people here who will answer any question day or night. Never seen (or read) anything like it. As far as me personally? I am amazed at how many houses I've managed to accumulate in such a short time.

smallhouset Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 I am amazed at how much I have learned from this addiction I have. I look at the real world differently now, I notice details on buildings, different architeture styles, and finishes,and try to figure how I can convert it into miniature. I've learned that I can make something that other people like and want to buy. But most of all I've learned that there is alot to learn about miniatures.

Missymew Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 I'm MOST amazed that I've found other people (this forum) who are as obsessed and addicted with miniatures as I am. Being able to plug in here each day and chat about miniature creations and dreams of future mini projects is like a dream come true. Sometimes I'm scared that I'm going to wake up and find myself back to sitting by myself building and arranging my mini scenes. -Susanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peachie Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 The one thing that amazes me is that I was able to build and create something so small and I never dreamed I could put anything together let alone a miniature dollhouse....and everyone on here is amazing with all their help and advice....makes one feel at ease Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuzyQ Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 All I can say is I will amaze myself if I ever get that Garfield done. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deb Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 One thing? That's a tough one coz I love everything about the amazing world of minis and this amazing group of people. But if I had to pick one thing that really made me sit back and go "whoa", it would be the part of myself that I discovered when I began making minis. I've always acknowledged my creative needs, but when I started building minis, I found a part of my personality that I really *like*. I think it comes down to the fact that the pure joy of building and making minis provides me with a level of happiness and joy I've never found in any other creative outlet. That's an amazing feeling. Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamie Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 What amazes me the most is how far I have come and how much I know about minis since I first rescued my Grandaughters house from the trash.The Newberg,haunted house,log cabin,and my current build the Garfield. WOW I AM AMAZED. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
