I am an avid Miniaturist! I have built dozens of 1:12 structures - an entire town!
I built this house from an old kit. I added extra extensions on both sides, then I added the landscaping and the photo-shopped sky background. After I photographed this image, I used it as the cover of my book, "Michael, Little Boy Black & Blue: Surviving the Effects of a Poisonous Child Abuser"
"I must have a million interior and exterior shots of this particular Victorian style dollhouse. I worked on it for around six months or so."
As well as posting about future books that I have been writing, I will continue posting my miniatures as well. This is one of many hobbies I am interested in. What is your hobby? What do you collect?
Building miniatures from scratch vs kits.
The dollhouse used for "Michael, Little Boy Black & Blue: Surviving the Effects of a Poisonous Child Abuser," started out as a smaller vintage kit that had seen better days. The warped wood had so many issues, that I took it upon myself to make a fresh much grander build with the pieces I could use from the kit and the remaining extensions and changes that I fabricated myself.
Why so much about the dollhouses and other miniature structures? Hmm, there may be a book coming soon. What kind of stories can you think of about Grand Victorian Dollhouses?

I love the houses. I know it's going to sound silly to some people, but I collect stuffed animals. When my husband and I got together he started getting me the Christmas bears. Each year I would get a new couple. Now, every year I get two new stuffed animals to add to my collection. Having anxiety and PTSD myself, they're a comfort during stressful situations, like doctor's appointments. Yes, one stuffed animal or another has made trips to town for a doctor's visit. I also enjoy crocheting and making resin crafts. It keeps me busy and is an outlet for stress.
