The Amazing Miniature World of Colette Cameron

I’ve been following Colette Cameron for a while on Facebook (I think this is the only social media she in on, but all her builds are public). She answers all questions, posts thousands of photos of her builds, and posts tutorials and hacks.

She has made and documented all sorts of builds. Some of them are: 

gallery

cottages (with the prettiest bathroom and kitchens)

magical party scene

14th century keep that you have to see to believe

massive bargain warehouse

pharmacy

corset shop

not a fairy garden

She has 3 pages on FB with miniature builds on each of them. It’s easiest to search her photos, then go to albums for each build:

One of her most labor intensive builds was The Inquisition here and here. It’s a 14th Century Keep with everything hand built by Colette Cameron.  

I built this building using wood supports, MDF Board and a lot of recycled wood and materials. The project itself took over a year to complete and worked out to around 7,300 hours. The total building comes in weighing around 260K’s. All the odds and ends were hand made or modified to suit this project. All doors are fully functioning and the building has a full lighting system.

The project has 6 bedrooms, a complete chapel, meeting room, store room, library, kitchen, greeting room, dungeons and a full torture chamber.

The Bargain Warehouse has over 15,000 items in it - more because that figure was mid build. You can find it here.

This pharmacy is her current build and it is still in progress. You can find it here. Her item count is up to 5,531 mid build.

Here are just a few of Colette Cameron’s tutorials. In comments on her albums she also explains how props were made. 

Other tutorials include: 

cheap lighted ceilings using Christmas lights

making a floor out of contact paper and cardboard 

making flowers out of erasers

Colette Cameron often has thousands of products in her builds. Here is just a little of her simple cans tutorial. Find the whole tutorial here.

These are sawdust bricks made from cardboard, paint, and sawdust. Find the whole tutorial here. Colette Cameron often uses this technique on the exterior of her buildings.

Find her full tutorial for making tubes and bottles here.

Crochet Playgrounds by Toshiko Horiuchi MacAdam

Japanese artist Toshiko Horiuchi-MacAdam is considered one of Japan’s leading fiber artists, using knitting and crochet as the foundation for much of her work. 

Her website explains that she specializes in “creating large, interactive textile environments that function both as imaginative and vibrant explorations of color and form, at the same time as providing thrilling play environments.”
