#tiny shit

Check out this tiny dish of raspberries small enough to fit on my fingertip! it's a real ceramic dish and metal spoon, plus the raspberries are still amazingly detailed despite being basically molecules at this point, with different shades of red for added realism...crazy.

apparently this lovely wine bottle, made of real glass and cork, also contains real wine!! according to the dude who made them, colored water in the bottles would freeze and shatter as they traveled back and forth from Canada, so this was their solution. it's extra authentic!

I've been searching for a mini cabinet radio for a while but most out there, while nice, are slightly too big for me. this one though is the perfect size!! again, it can balance on a fingertip and yet is super detailed — check out the weaving over the speaker grille!

the same artist also had a ton of mini clocks & I liked this one a lot. love that little pendulum in the cabinet part :)

at first I wasn't entirely sure why I liked this quarter scale cabinet so much. I mean ofc I love tiny shit lol, but the artist had a ton of other awesome quarter scale furniture, so why did this one in particular speak to me? it wasn't until I got home that I realized that the scallop design and the pretend leaded glass look almost exactly like the furniture in my grandma's house. Nostalgia now fits in the palm of your hand!!

this was the most expensive single item. the vendor was selling tons of amazing mini books — yes, with real printing on the inside, in addition to the incredible leather bindings. i had a hard time choosing just one, but I think I made a good choice. this is exactly the kind of thing I hoped to find at the tiny shit expo!!

*hunts around craft room for 5 minutes*

I don’t normally do this, but if there was ever a time where I needed it that would be today.. I am a 23 year old Christian woman and....last night I finally admitted to myself (to apparently NO ONE’S surprise) that I am bisexual and demi-romantic. I am blessed with the fact that my gorgeous best-friend is now my wonderful girlfriend and she tolerated a lot of sobbing and general freaking out from me last night.

Now the reason I desperately hope that you will share your prayers and thoughts with me is because we are going to my home today and I will be telling my mother. I know that she will still love me as I asked her about this once in high school (I thought I was asking just about my characters.. heh.. I am very unobservant), but I’m worried about this affecting our relationship.

From the Tiny Shit Expo AKA the Dallas Miniature Showcase

I love the tiny shit expo. It’s the best day of the year. Even getting laid off the day before did not dampen my enthusiasm for it. Here are my purchases, and PS, they came in under budget!! Aren’t you so proud of me?!?!?!

Thumbtack shown for scale; it’s just a basic-ass bitch standard thumbtack. Also, I recently got a new phone with a macro mode, but it’s pretty hit or miss, so some of the photos you see were taken with an external macro lens and some were taken with the phone’s built-in macro mode. It just depends on which version I thought looked better.

Starting with the largest, here’s a gorgeous 1/48 scale Art Deco-style cabinet! Lovely and unique!

A tiny protractor! It’s pretty insanely detailed for how small it is!

A tiny jeweled bracelet in its own tiny box!

The vendor where I bought that tiny book last year came back, so of course I had to get another book, because tiny books are easily one of my favorite subsets of tiny shit. This one’s simpler, but has nice spine ridges just like my fancy notebooks. (Sorry, it’s hard to capture everything in one photo.)

Okay, the longer I look at this, the more it looks fake as fuck to me. But I swear to god that you’re looking at a glue gun smaller than a tack. This might be my favorite item for how well it captures the vibe of the thing it’s based on.

And finally…

Y’all: “Let me see what you have.”

Me: “A KNIFE!”

Dunno if you're interested in tabletop at all but I thought you'd like these
