The Art of MiniaturesPeak into the tiny world of miniature artisans!
Below are some of the houses in the collection. People are simply amazing and we can’t wait to be open and share these with the world.
In the 1980s, Joseph Angel commissioned two dollhouses, to be displayed in one of his restaurants.
This iconic house has inspired miniature makers everywhere.
Clell and Sally Boyce, known for their attention to detail and weathering, built this in the 1980s.
Note the worn wood of tiny footprints in front of the door.
Even miniatures “suffer” from wear and tear!
Detail, both inside and outside, is perfect.
The Josiah Golden is the second Victorian house Joseph Angel commissioned, also built by Clell and Sally Boyce.
The Boyces’ attention to detail in all rooms was quite spectacular.
Truly beautiful chimneys adorn this house.
Who doesn’t love a tiny door jam?
Sometimes you see a house that is… incomprehensible in its attention to detail, like George Wrisley’s work to recreate the Fern House, which used to be on Powell Street in Portland before it was demolished in the 1940s.
George stick-built this house, and as the top floors are still works in progress, it begs the question - is it worth it to finish and cover up this beautiful work?
George hand-built each of the pieces in this house, including this staircase. He also built a curved staircase for another house and says to this day, “I still don’t know how I did it!”
The craftsmanship is off the charts with the woodwork in this house.
Have you ever just wanted to build something ornate? Christine did! And while her story has been lost, her work can still be admired in this beautiful Swiss Chalet.
Any guesses on how long it took to cut each piece and adhere it?
Simply stunning.
Working to fill the house with Dora Kuhn or other appropriate furniture, plus this stove by OC Miniatures.
The potential…
This beautiful custom house is a replica of a home in NE Portland.
While little exists on its history, it’s clear the maker knew what s/he was doing.
Need a mask?
Got you covered.
If you were in miniature, wouldn’t you want to spend all your time in this beautiful room?
Dollhouses must have dollhouses, don’t you think?
The vibe is exquisite.
The NAME Medford (OR) Miniature Cub adopted this store and turned it into a steampunk costume shop.
Octopus on the front, you say? It works!
Here is a close up of the dress in the front window - wow.
Thanks to the exceptional work by this club, miniature people have everything they need to get dressed up!
William "Bill" Amburn, of Washington, spent his retirement years crafting scale-model buildings, such as this barn and house.
The top floor of the barn is a work of art by itself.
Bill carefully bent the wood for this second floor railing.
Attention to detail meant closets for the minis to hang their things.
Bill was a builder by trade, and each of his pieces carries through his craft.
This is the inside of his covered bridge, which is approximately 3 feet long.
We call her the Pink Lady; she is a replica of a house in Eureka, CA, that currently operates a Bed and Breakfast.
No miniature town would be complete without a train station, not that you’d even want to hop on a train and leave…
