I got a problem................I can't decide what gives me more pleasure - what you create, watching you create, or watching your pleasure and joy in what you create........hard choice, one I'm not sure I can make.........so I'll just have to enjoy the entire in its entirety!
I'm really glad the wedding officiant gets to be included. Love that guy! Also got a good laugh from the flawless argument you presented to justify the sweater. Catherine O'Hara.
the guy having some very ill-fitting pants with awfully hemmed pantlegs is just so funny 😂 maybe he sneaked them out of beetlejuice's closet and tried to fit them to himself haha
I love your videos. You are so upbeat and talented it’s not funny. I enjoy each ending so I can watch the bloopers, thanks for the smiles and the laughs.🥰
I LOVE HOW YOU just power thru errors or accidents, and just improvise right in the video! I appreciate your authenticity!! EVERYTHING IS LOOKING GREAT!!!!
I think of myself has a lazy perfectionist... I want it to look right but I want to take the easiest route to get there lol! I am so glad you liked the video and results!
Hi Ara, Love this video, The fireplace is a work of art with its tiny bricks and green lighting, The little guy is brilliant, you captured his looks 100% and it's so cute how you have his trouser bottoms spilling out over his shoes, He is so cool Ara, Thank you for sharing another of your beautiful works of art.👍👍👍👍
Oh Ara, the fireplace is incredible. Lighting it up gave it even more character a perfect choice most definitely 😊 I am so glad you are taking your time thru this one like all the others, I can’t imagine how frustrating certain areas are especially in miniature form. Sounds like ya’all are getting bitter freezing 🥶 weather for awhile. Weather days are great for studio work. Anyway again, your creativity is amazing and the outcomes of today’s video are great 😌. Stay warm!
Thank you Jennifer! I agree about the light... it added so much to set the 'mood'. I think we are on the tail end of the freezing weather so that's good. It's always a weird sight to see icicles around here lol!
Omigosh! I’m so glad you also recognize the importance of spilling most of the paint mixture as an integral part of the procedure. Not that I ever do such a thing. Than you! 💕
This is just wonderful! You made magic happen. The green lights are perfect and the officiant is so so cute!! I love his little bony fingers. Thank you for the book fix! That will come in handy for sure. Stay warm and I hope you have an amazing weekend!
Thank you Rachael!! I think he is super cute too and I think I will have to have him wander around the house lol! I am glad you enjoyed it! You stay warm too!
She actually is accepting submissions from viewers! (Or at least, was; I don't know if it's still open.) The model town will be largely populated by other people's art!
The house is coming along. Preacher is funny and you made him right on. My favorite item now is the fireplace. You hit that on the head. Great job. Congrats on the show by the way.
And the answer is Empty tuna fish Cans! Over 30 years ago one of my kids decorated some empty cleaned tuna fish cans in school art class and gave them to me for Father's Day as I recall. I displayed them on my work table. I discovered that if I put cups of paint or any other open liquid containers like paint, glue, and such into the empty tuna can they become all but impossible to spill. . .
My gosh, you just did a beautiful job of that fireplace! The eerie green light effect is perfect. I'm so glad you showed us because I want to use strip lights but haven't tackled it yet. I think you like doing these super-cute guys...Beetlejuice, J & H, and now Mr. Ceremony. you really nailed him (figuratively speaking). Your skills are getting so refined, even in the last few months you've accomplished so much. I was watching this during breakfast and you had me laughing all the way thru...adore the sarcasm!
Nice and spooky the fireplace with the green lights.The little sculpture turned out amazing!! Hope your coat survived the spraypaint and Cool sweater.... 😆
I love, love, love the fireplace! It’s so perfect and a great way to shake that burn ou😵💫 I will have to remember this lesson. Can’t wait to see the next piece you work on.
The fire place looks amazing especially lit green like in the movie.He’s not exactly handsome ,but you sculpted him really well and he looks great in front of the fire too.This house is going to be one of your best I think.You have learnt so many things in all the years I have watched you.As well as giving me so much pleasure too..Love n Light 🥰
Thank you Christine! I think you are right. I would not have had the skills to build the Addams house from scratch and I think it would have defeated me. But I am glad to try this now with everything I have learned and pass along anything that will help others too! I am enjoying the journey!
I'm so glad that I found your channel..The creativity and the details are simply amazing...I loved the Adams family compilation...There was so much detail and love put into that project....You truly nailed the whole thing... I can't wait to see what the future holds for this project...You Your projects are a miniature model of the projects you do.....You are truly an inspiration and I love everything that you do...Here's to the future and what's to come...🍾🥂🍾🥂🍾🥂
I'm so excited once again.... I can't wait until you get deeper into this project.... I feel like this is going to be another banger project of yours... By that I mean it's going to there going to be ANOTHER awesome out come project... You are so talented and put pick legendary projects to work on and show us... Keep doing what you're doing girl...
Love this 😀❤ not only are your creations simply wonderful, but your videos are so much fun to watch... the look on your face before going out to spray paint the walls had me laughing 😆 then your comments when you spilled the paint.. omg, I just can't even... love your videos and love you too... looking forward to the next one xxx
I love him , very well done too... The fireplace is beautifly done has well... love your work Ara... have a great week and can't wait to see the next one...🙂
Omg the light is amazing!! It highlights that incredible brickwork you made perfectly! I don’t think I’d be able to tell the difference between the movie fireplace and the one you created. It’s stunning! And the officiant is so cute! All these little details really makes the project come alive!
Ok. I loved the wedding officiant and his book and about died when I saw my bitty house in his wiry little hands! I'm starstruck! You are my favorite creator, Ara!
Thank you so much for sending it in!! It was just too fun to have him holding the house... I had to lol! I love the stylized trees too! So Tim Burton-esque!😊
Hi Ara! This is always so much fun, inspirational, and always always learning something new! This project is really coming along..what a great effect those green lights have! Love those proud moments of accomplishments! 💕
I very recently found your channel, and I'm loving watching you create your miniatures. You're very talented. I can also help you out with the warping of your card stock, paper and foam board... Buy the cheapest aerosol hairspray you can find. Give 3 or 4 very light coats to whichever side you're going to paint. Each coat will dry in minutes, so it doesn't take long to do. Once that's complete, then add a thin layer or two of spray on matte varnish. This completely seals the paper and prevents warping during the painting steps.
Thank you for your kind words and for your suggestion! Does the hairspray not cause any problems with the adhesion of the paint later on? I am always willing to try something new to avoid warp!
@@BentleyHouseMinis No, the hairspray has no effect on adhesion. Just be sure to give a light coat or two of matte spray-on varnish after the hairspray. I've been doing this for years, and it works well. I don't know why, but the cheap hairspray works better than the expensive stuff. Just be sure to be light-handed in your coats. If you spray too heavy, you'll get warping. It also works well as an after coat to seal paints, chalks or other media that may move or smudge later on.
Had to pause, cus post-Covid-brain-fog issues (or just crappy memory?). I'd forget by the end! You had me ROLLING with spilling the paint twice, making sure you completed that VERY vital step of "wasting paint". Seriously, I needed that laugh! In that way... the paint wasn't wasted! Btw... i blame "issues" like this on anything else - usually the weather - instead of my own innate ability to spill anything within 6 feet of me. So some paint spilled? Oh, it's cus the weather's cruddy. Spilled more paint? Oh, the weather's so nice, even the paint is protesting! (It works no matter what the weather's like. Plus, usually pops me outta feeling annoyed at myself for wasting paint and paper towels lol.) Ok... on with the great Fireplace! Those green lights... PERFECT! Creepy dude... jaw-dropping! Amazing, as always, Ari!
I have to agree with you!! The weather has been effecting everything around here... especially my head lol! It keeps going from hot to cold and back again. I wish it would make up its mind! I am glad you got a good laugh and enjoyed the video!
Yes yes yes. That fireplace is a vibe that I need in my life. The creepy dude is thee cutest holder of odd and ends. As always such a good tutorial and all things mini. Thanx for the great content Ara!
I just love watching work on your houses and everything you create! So gifted! And I especially loved how you gave yourself applause when you completed your fireplace with lights! I felt the pride n satisfaction also!
My sister had the same reaction! She couldn't figure out who I was making until she saw it all together and the past memory from the movie resurface in her mind! Its a pretty memorable scene lol! So glad you liked it Lesley!
I got a problem................I can't decide what gives me more pleasure - what you create, watching you create, or watching your pleasure and joy in what you create........hard choice, one I'm not sure I can make.........so I'll just have to enjoy the entire in its entirety!
You made me smile George! Thank you for your encouraging comments each week😊
Lmao the ever so calm ‘im going to knock my paint over’ 😂
Don’t worry Ara, I do the same
I'm really glad the wedding officiant gets to be included. Love that guy! Also got a good laugh from the flawless argument you presented to justify the sweater. Catherine O'Hara.
I need to just end all my arguments with 'Catherine O'Hara' 😄 I might win more of them that way! Thanks Studson!
You two are my fave miniaturists on UA-cam haha I love that you follow each other too uwu so wholesome
i don't think i've said it before but aside from being extremely creative, you're also so fricking cute
😊😊 Thank you!
Okay that came out so awesome He does make a great little vanna white holding things.
Lol yes he's very good at it! Thank you Debbra!
the guy having some very ill-fitting pants with awfully hemmed pantlegs is just so funny 😂 maybe he sneaked them out of beetlejuice's closet and tried to fit them to himself haha
I love your videos. You are so upbeat and talented it’s not funny. I enjoy each ending so I can watch the bloopers, thanks for the smiles and the laughs.🥰

He came out really well. The book came out really good.
I look forward to seeing you tackle the attic with the scale model of the nearby town.

Pet food tins as well!
Another spooktacular installment!
He’s sooooo awesome Ara!!!
All three new pieces are just fantastic !!! And the book looks really like a bound book...it's sooo tiny and cute 🥰

I love your sense of humor, you always brighten my day, thank you.
Fantastic work, Ara!
As always, FAB!!!!!! 🙌
Love the lights in the fireplace! Now I know who the officiate is lol....I really need to go and watch this movie again!

Love watching you I get so much out of it love your work
Thanks so much 😊
I'm loving this project so much. Well done Ara; amazing! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I have to make more use of wood glue! You really had a clever way of thinking. Also, the lights bring the mood across. It's on point 👌
Wood glue is magical stuff in my opinion lol! So glad you liked it!
Maybe nerdforge can help you with lighting they use so much leds in their project and always adding on with soldering
