Mysterious atmosphere...ahhh...what better to set the mood than a cluster of dripping candles sofly illuminating an Ancient Missal and Ornate Candle Snuffer, all arranged on an Elaborate Credence Table...
If that's your fancy, you've come to the right place!
These tiny open books are sure to add a sense of antiquarian charm to your Gothic Miniature Tableau.
The glowing candles dripping with wax send an eerie glow over the abandoned Chapel, catching the glint of the Altar Furnishings...and hinting at dark presences just beyond the candlelight. Yikes!
C'mon - let's make these fascinating dollhouse accessories!

AWESOME. Stop making stuff I wanna make. My to-do list is already big enough.
Hee hee! Never gonna stop, dude. Nope. Go get to work and stop complainin'!
(thanks for the delighted guffaw your remarks blasted outta me!) 😂😘
This is such a genius way to create a book!! **goes to find all my old magazines that I have apparently been saving for this very day!!**
I wish I could remember where I came across the idea to use a magazine as the text block, Ara...here on YT, many years ago. So easy! Yay! xoxo
Those candles! Gurrrllll….
Too fun, right, Donna? I need to make MORE! Gotta run to the Dollar Tree! 😍😜
I LOVE IT. I can't wait to see them all displayed. I was at the dollar tree the other day and thought of you, when I came across those small pumpkins. I said to myself- I see Heather doing pulling off a Cinderella carriage, With horses - well the works! LOL
Hee hee! The Dollar Tree is my MUSE, Maria...😂 I love your vision of a tiny Cinderella Coach! That would be quite a challenge, girl. xoxo
Oh Heather! I am so happy to "hang out" with you! There is an icy feeling between my shoulder blades.... something ominous is lurking .... must go make some candles to illuminate the darkness. This further chapter in your visual horror story is another masterpiece!
Awww, Faith...it's easy to see that you are a person of vivid and powerful imagination...I LOVE that! This set of minis was fun. Working on the next installment! xoxo
she just keeps on doing it ladies! Heather, Heather, Heather!!!! OMG! ❤️ you and all you share with us!
Nancy! Thank you for being SO encouraging - you do realize this means I have to CONTINUE, right?!?💗😆💗
I don't know how you think of these things in so much detail. Every time I'm amazed. You have to build a small old castle and furnish it with the throne etc.
Oh, that would be a dream come true, Susan. Such an undertaking would keep me out of trouble for quite some time! Thank you so much for your kindness. xoxo
Omg. Where have you been all my crafting Life! 😂🤷🏻♀️❣️
Girl, you just made me grin from ear-to-EAR! It's so awesome to connect with creatives who like this kind of thing - Thank you! xoxo
Wow! Wow! Wow! And oh ya...Wow! Totally awesome! Tfs hugs Renee
Hey Renee! You crack me UP, girl! Thank you for the giggles! xoxo
Thud ! Thud ! Thud !....that’s my heart after watching this video...it’s way pass my bedtime..I’ll watch more of your videos tomorrow.
Your voice is so beautiful and soothing and your creativity is AMAZING 🤩
Bless your heart ..brain and hands ...
You are so kind - thank you.
Love the book, love the snuffer and the table, but those candles are beyond cool. This whole series has just been wonderful! I hope there’s a lot more to come.....but no pressure. 😄
😂 Thank you for coming along on this excursion, FolkFaninMA! Making the candles was SO much fun...I want scads of 'em. More in the works - Halloween is coming up FAST, and there is SO much to do! xoxo
Wow, so cool!
You add magic to everything you touched! Splendid!!!
Awww...that's very kind of you, Christina! Thank you. xoxo
I love miniatures and making them, you put my efforts to shame, mine have consisted mostly of making dough art food and painting little wood turnings. I now have so many ideas running around my head. Thank you so much for sharing your talents. Just what I needed on top of my jewelry designing. lol
Hi Joyce! It's always fun to connect with other Miniaturists - thank you for taking the time to leave this message, girl!
And about needing to design jewelry, paint wood turnings and make mini food? WOW! You've got a full plate, my friend. I love that. xoxo
absolutely amazing, love the candles and table!!!
How insanely clever!
Another mermerizing project
So incredible! Nicely done!
This is beautiful 😀
You hit it outta the park again!! What a great display!!! Thanks for all you do.
Hey Barb...so happy that you like it, my friend. Having WAY too much fun over here! xoxo
FABULEUX ! Wow😍😍😍
Merci, Sylvie! 😘😀
Wow! Just wow!
Yay! You like 'em! Thanks for taking the time to watch, JMS! xoxo
Heather I couldn't wait till my appts. were over and done too see you're new creations just love you're work..
Cindy!!! You better watch out: you'll end up like me - totally unable to tell what day of the week it is, but blissfully immersed in MAKING! xoxo
That will be a great thing but I will not miss your Thur. offerings :))))
One of my favorite videos of yours!!!! Mainly because its something i can do cause i dont have a cricut...yet. but also the whole theme. I love the book!!! Oh the candles and the glue flames!! Oh my love this so much
I love, love, LOVE this! Medieval manuscripts are a long-time object of my adoration. Such a clever idea to use a magazine to avoid the lengthy process of building a book from scratch. And I love your little LED candles. So cool!
Illuminated Manuscripts - Swoon! So cool to find a fellow-addict!
I wish I could remember where I first stumbled across the idea of repurposing magazines for books...years ago, here on UA-cam...it's been simmering in my brain ever since! Glad to finally play with the concept! xoxo
Each video makes me so thankful for your creativity and so tempted to reproduce some of all those beautiful dark pieces. Can't wait to see the whole scenery you prepared us. 💜
I'm so in love with making these minis, Edwige! Just hope that I'll be able to pull it all together in a way that makes sense, my friend. Wish me luck! xoxo
You will, my friend, got no doubt about it !
Absolutely brilliant!
Glad you like it, girl. So stinkin' FUN! xoxo
OMG! WOW! I cannot say how much i am impressed. Just came over from Bentley Minis. I love your voice from the dark side. I have got to start making minis. I am in the middle of making a witch brewing scene. Going to check out your other vlogs.
☠💀🧛♀️🧛♂️

Yay! This was one of my fav's, @GenNarick1! xoxo
Heather.. where do you come up with your ideas??
Your creativity and patience is amazing ❤️
Creativity is a wonder drug. Yep.
I wonder where that patience goes when it's time to do laundry, Donna Marie!?! 😜😘💗
Incredibleeeeeee
Making tiny things is so fun, Robert. Can't get enough! xoxo
WOMAN!! You leave us shaking our heads in amazement every time!! Utterly beautiful!!
Hey Stephanie! It makes me super happy that you like it...I'm having so much fun! xoxo
These look SO fun! You are such a darkly creative genius!
Nah! (But you're so generous to say so, girl.) I'm just making stuff and having a blast - you should see the FAILS! 😉😆😘💀
Me fascina todo lo que haces!!!! Eres genial y siempre estoy pendiente de que pongas mas vídeos... gracias por compartir lo mucho que sabes hacer.
¡Muchas gracias amiga mío! Me encanta compartir pequeñas técnicas.
💗
Awesome 😍😎👍
😍📚💗
Miss Heather, those candles are bloody brilliant! Darl'in you're amazing! Loves & hugs my sweet friend 💖.
Hey Laurie! The whole candles thingie was a total blast. Gotta make more - so cheap and easy. Thank you for being such a source of encouragement, my friend. xoxo
Я восхищаюсь вашими работами.
OMG those Candles!! great idea to use your magazine for the base of the book , love it! cheers Donna
Aren't the candles fun, Donna! This was a blast to design, girl. Bet you've got some old magazines lying around just WAITING to be transformed...xoxo
So fantastic Heather....your creativity knows no bounds!!
Hi Roz! There are SO many wonderful mini items to try to recreate - it's a never ending fascination for me. Thank you for always being so sweet, girl. xoxo
@@Thicketworks you're welcome 💗
I love your miniatures! The style is right up my alley, the patina is beautiful, the sense of detail is great, and you have such clever solutions to make these miniatures come alive!
I've done something similar to this book, by altering an actual small book, but using a magazine was a clever way to get an even smaller book! I'll be keeping that in mind for future projects!
I'd love to see how you display these miniature sets in your home!
Hi Fran! It's wonderful to learn that you like the style - making the kinds of miniatures that I would love to own is making me very happy...and sharing the techniques used is a joy. I have a clear vision of how this grouping of miniatures will come together in a final display piece, but have some anxiety about whether or not I can pull it off - fingers crossed! If it works well, then it could be an idea that would be of use to others, too.
Thank you for taking the time to be so encouraging, my friend. xoxo
Espectacular y precioso meticuloso trabajo, 👏👏👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Este proyecto fue muy divertido, Mirabel! Me encantó crearlo. Gracias por tu amabilidad, mi amiga. 😘
WOW!!!
😘💗😀
Love! Love! This!
Woo hoo! I'm so pleased that you like it, Rita! xoxo
Heather, I'm just blown away, and my imagination is on overload... I already have a completed scene in my mind. Your artwork and your voice have the old brain firing on all cylinders.... I feel like I just swallowed a strand of those little lights... you should see me light up the night..... LOL You are Amazing!!
Shirley! You already shine like a Christmas Tree, girl! (I love this imagery!) Thank you for helping to keep the Bonfire Ablaze, darlin'! xoxo
I love small books. Nice tips :) Thanks
Hey Mickan SJ - small books just enchant me - glad you like 'em, too! Thank you for watching xoxo
Hello Heather. I will definitely make smaller books. I've done tiny books before. Right now I'm wearing size approx: 13x13 cm but I'm loading it up to make those little beautiful books.
Uber cool!
It's Sherlene! Hello, my darling. Thank you so much for stopping by! xoxo 😘
unbelievable. Your talent! Blown away. Wow.
Hi Teri! Seriously, it's not talent - I just have the luxury of spending WAY to much time fiddling around at the workbench, my friend. (but thank you for being so sweet!) xoxo
Oh yes. The creative talent you have is wonderful. We all have our creative energies/flows. I appreciate yours. Don't worry, I have mine too.😉😘
Adorable thx. Officeworks charges $1 ish a cut if you want to use their paper cutter service
Very cool. Next time I'm chopping through 500 pages of a magazine, this will come in mighty handy!😅
Wow! Wow! Wow! Oh and... did I say Wow!!!! Omg!! Lights! Oh how I love thee!! An everything else too!!! Just love it so much! Amazing!!! Muwahhhhaahaa!!😈👿👺👺👹😈☻😱😱😱☠💀☠💀👻👻
I keep wanting to incorporate more lights, Stefanie...I'll probably end up having to learn how to solder electronics to pull off the visions in my head. Not looking forward to the whole math + electricity learning curve, girl! But it may just have to happen. Thank you for watching, my darling! xoxo
