For the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working on several new pieces for some upcoming miniature art shows. Miniature art shows have a few requirements regarding artwork size.

The main rule is that the subject must measure one-sixth scale of the actual size. Most often, the image size cannot be any larger than 24 square inches. The outside frame measurements can’t exceed 48 square inches, which is a 6-inch by 8-inch frame. Generally, sculptures should be less than 6 inches in height.

Because of these requirements, I’ve been making a large variety of teeny, tiny, little miniature things as I am working on my next round of miniature art shows. I thought you might like to get a glimpse into some of these teeny, tiny, little miniature things.

Oh, and one other thing, just in case you are wondering, these items do seem to take even longer to make because they are so small. I often need to make a bunch of different, individual parts that will eventually go into the final art piece. Sometimes I make them several times until I get it small enough or until it looks just right.

Here we go. Click through the gallery to see al 12 photos!

Can you tell which items mentioned above were used in the following paper sculpture piece? This piece is titled, “Can You Find My Four-Leaf Clover?”
