“… must be 100% edible…. Which means absolutely no fondant.” *giggle snort* I first used the flavored tootsie rolls in the Toot Sweet machine I had in the 1960’s. Inspired by the sweets in Chitty Chitty BangBang, it made whistles in two halves. They actually worked! So much very sticky fun. :) Love all your tiny cakes. ❤ 🎂
Your whistle maker sounds amazing! I googled it and the image results did not disappoint, lol. Sticky indeed! Thank you for enjoying the cakes <3
“All your books are belong to base” made me snicker. I love your humor. 😂❤ Beautiful build. I love how you used every bit of what you purchased, including the packaging. Gorgeous, wistfully sad result. Where do you place your creations when you are done?
Haha. I’m so glad you caught the reference! Right now, most of the creations are displayed around my home. The 1/12 scale definitely takes up more space than some of the micro scales! I will likely need to come up with better placement solutions soon. A problem for future me :). Thank you for watching! <3
My goodness what a beautiful sight. Easy to follow and listen to instructions. Thank you for sharing. Hello from New York 👋👋
Hello! Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I love making these videos <3
I’ve been waiting for an excuse to get the acrylic markers…. Now I have it ( for my miniature Victorian kitchen) this is awesome !!! Thank you 😊
So glad you found your justification to get the markers! They are pretty satisfying. Best wishes for your mini Victorian kitchen project! <3
Where did you get the backs in bulk from please? I’m looking on Amazon and I’m only seeing the sets. Thanks.
The covers are only sold in sets that I've found. I got mine from Maxant. I did also ask them to consider selling the backs separately! Some of the comments here have been brainstorming ideas for what to do with the domed fronts. But even as a set, the cost is low! <3
You could do larger ones using mason jar lids. Sanding them first though.
Very cool idea!
This is 100% genius! You are so clever and so funny!
Thank you! :)
Those little button cover thingies are genius
Love your work and Thank you for sharing your childhood experiences and memories ❤
Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)
Absolutely perfect! Thank you ☺️
You are so welcome! <3
The other part of the buttons could be used to make cute little bowls! I have some paint pens that are fine point on one side and brush tip on the other side. The ones that you don't have to shake and tap before using work so much better.
I love the idea of using the button backs for bowls. Your paint pens sound great! What kind do you use?
So clever! And you are witty and entertaining as always. I am amazed how you figure these things out! Hats off to you!!!
Thank you for your kind words! I’m glad you enjoyed this one. :)
If you don’t want these marks: there are jewellery pliers with nylon covered beaks.
Great idea! Thank you.
Beautiful work
Thank you very much!
This is utterly brilliant! I'm about to invest in some along with everyone else that watched this great video!!
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it :). I do wish they sold the backs by themselves, but this also creates an opportunity to come up with different projects for the fronts. It's the 'buy one, get one' we didn't ask for. lol. <3
@@TinyUrchin I have a feeling that we will find plenty of uses for those! I will possibly use them for a science project, small amounts of watercolor paints, or... but what if we stack a few on top of each other for some wonderful indoor and outdoor planters? It doesn't matter that they aren't too deep, and I bet they will look great!
@@medievallassie Planters is a very clever use! I also love your other ideas. They could make interesting light fixtures as well.
All the cakes look amazing but my favourite is the forest cake. I'm so glad you didn't end up in a suitcase, rather selfishly, I've only just found your channel and I'm looking forward to many more videos :)
Thanks so much! And welcome :)
This serene and beautiful video needed to be about 50 minutes longer. It was so mesmerising listening to your descriptions as you created tiny works of art, thank you.
Thanks so much! My next video will be a little longer <3
I'm off to buy some metal button covers! Thank you for this great tutorial!!😊🥰
Thank you! <3
Your plates are GORGEOUS!!! You are so wonderfully artistic. I am completely green with envy!
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed them! It really is a forgiving method. I redid some of the plates 3 or 4 times just adding new layers until I was happy with them. <3
What a fantastic idea ❤
Thank you so much! :)
Truly lovely miniature art! 🥰 Also, adding the "d" was hilarious! 🤣 The bottle desperately needed that "d"!😊
Haha! You caught that! I'm glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Delightful! Can’t wait to try this. You are a very fine storyteller.
Thank you so much! <3
As a diehard Sleeping Beauty defender. I don't think most people understand that Aurora is not the main character in the Disney film the fairies are. They're just living their medieval Golden Girls lives. Also in those 16 minutes Aurora's personallity does shine through in her interactions with others. Love the darker interprepation of the story and the thought put into Aurora as a character wonderful work
Thank you! I love the idea of the fairies as the 'medieval Golden Girls.' Aurora definitely shines in her moments, and I’m glad you enjoyed the darker take on the story!
Your narration is priceless and I adore you. - your line about purchasing the yarn before cutting had me dying!
Lol! Thank you so much! <3
Amazing.
Nice
Thanks. That was fun. And touching. And inspiring!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow !!!! spectacular job
Thank you very much!
Oh my goodness I’m over the moon impressed with these little lovelies 🖤🖤🖤
Thanks so much! :)
Brilliant! Charming, fun, original! And most original of all is your poetic and utterly delightful telling of the tale as you gave instructions. Love that!❤ My first encounter with your channel; subscribed, of course!
Thank you! I very much appreciate your delightful feedback and hearing what you enjoyed. <3
Love, love, love!
Thank you! <3
This is just great and I love the narration ❤
Thanks so much! :)
This looks good :) cleverly made!
Thank you! 😊
Beyond adorable. Instructions are very easy to follow. Haven't felt the need to make 1:12 size witch hats before, but I am feeling it now. The three count of witches (weird sisters) is very classic. Well done.
Thank you! Three is a good number :). The hats are quite fun to make. You can also cut an extra tab of fabric on one side of the cone to make them easier to glue--I just found the stitches were actually faster and more accurate! <3
This is so pretty and creative, I love all the techniques used, well done! Also my favourite thing about the Sleeping Beauty story is that there's nothing on a spindle to prick your finger with! They don't have needles or any sharp points, a spindle is just a series of spinning things and sticks, you could get a splinter I guess, but that's it!
Fantastic project and the very best detailed instructions ❤
Thanks so much 😊
Love the idea and your voice over!
Thank you! :)
I'm not a fan of witches, but it would be easy enough to use different colors and hats to make charming little ladies using this idea. I had never heard of putka pods, but they are very cool. 🙂 I enjoy listening to your poetic descriptions and philosophizing. 😊
That's a great idea! I understand witches aren't for everyone, but you are right, the methods are pretty versatile. You could do a gnome hat instead or add wings etc. Thank you! :)
Wonderful idea looks amazing.
Thank you! 😊
Love this and hearing the process behind it!
Thank you! :)
LIKE👍👍👍👍👍💯💢💯💢💯😻💗😻💗😻
This came out awesome! The clothing fabric resembles spider web and I could imagine one with tiny spiders all over it - know as the "Spider Witch".
Thank you! :) Purple with spiders would be neat. Maybe even glitter if one felt brave enough.
i didn't come here for therapy. Thank you.
I just stumbled across your channel! It’s a small thing, but I really appreciate the subtitles in your video. I know it takes a while to caption a UA-cam video, but it makes them so much more accessible and enjoyable!
Thank you! I hoped these would be useful for someone <3. I will definitely keep doing them!
I love mini books so much and I have a collection of about 200 page books. These ones are amazing and are better than many others I have purchased! Thank you!
Thank you! <3
I just want to say, I happened upon this tutorial by accident while googling ideas for making myself a mini library for in my car. I found this so intriguing even though it hadn’t been what I was looking for that I opened my app to save the video and revisit it as I love books and miniatures 💕 Thank you for this. Definitely will be checking out your other videos as a result! Keep being awesome💕
Thanks so much! <3
I have just discovered your channel. I love your skill and your presentation style. Your channel deserves to mushroom……. I know, groan… but seriously, you’re wonderful. Here’s to many more videos. 🍄
Lol - thank you! <3
Just popped up on my UA-cam feed today, so I've just found your channel and I'm so glad I did! I loved the way you narrate, your gentle humor, your crafting style. This story was so sad but still perfect for a fairy tale in a strange way. Poor Aurora!
Thanks so much! :)
I just happened to stumble across this video, and I absolutely love it. The narration, the concept, the humor and style - all of it! I would love to see more budget friendly ideas like this, and maybe some ”trash transformations”? Those are fun. Looking forward to seeing your channel flourish!!
Thanks so much! I am definitely working on more similar concepts! I am also enjoying the exploration of old stories I adored as a child :).
This video is a delight 😊 Absolutely adore your narration ❤
So glad you enjoyed it! <3
