This just made my heart happy. I gave my husband a running commentary throughout and he was saying "oh wow...yeah...that's cool...oh man..." which is what I was saying, too. Thank you! I really do learn so much from your videos. Thank you!
I have watched mini channels on YT for a very long time and although there are many creative miniaturists in various categories, there are very few hands-on miniaturists on YT, (three of them are men) that I consider top-of-the-line, you and the creator of the 144 scale are included with these top-of-the-line artisans. You're so skillfull, imaginative, and have pure creativity, while inspiring others to actually start this beautiful form of art. Never change. Thank you for sharing your hand-made beautuful builds. I can watch them over and over again! ❤
Thank you so much! Lots of people make minis using polystyrene plastic from the hobby store. I wanted to see what I could do with an oatmeal lid. I love how it turned out! The glue really helped add a convincing texture.
You are truly a gifted miniaturist. Anyone can buy store bought minis to create a roombox or diorama, but what astounds me is you build everything from scratch!!! Just amazing. I missed your voiceover as well though😩
For this type of video, I enjoy no voiceover bc you watch and wonder what I'm doing with something like googly eyes, then you see they're drawer pulls and you're 😲 I'm really excited for the Gryffindor Common Room because I'm making all of that from scratch as well (aside from some lamps, perhaps). That whole project will have voiceover. I will probably do a start to finish reveal video with none though.
Amazing! I love the tiny pens and pencils and your electrical outlets/plugs! Not to mention your tiny cotton reels!! So many tiny details 🤩 and so many great ideas in one video!
Thank you so much :) I'm really pleased with how the outlets turned out. As usual, I wanted to make them as simply as possible. I don't like doing tedious things.
I’m 6 minutes in and I had to pause so I could get on my tablet and comment. I love this, and love how you came up with the door locks and the drawer pulls. I love everything about this. I think it’s so much more fun to figure out how to make something instead of buy it. You give inspire me so much.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that. I got the idea for making the lock from miniaturists who use styrene plastic for crafting. An oatmeal lid was a good enough substitute. If you look closely at the drawer pulls, I accidentally melted them a little 😬 I dried the paint with my heat gun and wasn't paying attention. Just a couple extra seconds deformed them a bit. Nothing too noticeable!
Oh my Gawd…..this is such a good idea. My husband is a huge Spider-Man fan and has collected those comic books since high school. (He’s 57 now and still gets his comic books every month.) I’m totally gonna do this for him to put in his comic book room but I wanna make a closet with a door that opens and has the suit hanging in there. (Not sure how to pull that off but I’m gonna give it a try. Thanks for the wonderful idea!!!
You can do it! Making the door is the hardest part (and it's really not that hard). Adding a closet behind it is no worries. The suit...Textile is not my medium, but a hanging suit shouldn't be too bad.
Once again... NAILED IT!! Not sure where to begin with this one 🤯 there is so much to love and be awe struck! My absolute faves are the thread spools, locks on the doors, paper towels, dish towel holder, dresser pulls, and the poor pitiful light fixture. I am always amazed and in awe when I see what you create literally from nothing! Thank you for sharing your creativity and encouraging so many others!!
Thank you! I'm very happy with the thread spools. Coloring the toothpick first made it so easy to wrap them in thread since it didn't matter if there were gaps. I'll post a tutorial with voiceover about making the paper towels and dresser pulls and a couple other things.
@@queencityminis that will be fantastic! I can't remember if it was your or another channel where I saw the googly eye dresser pulls idea! When I saw it, 😱🤯 was my exact reaction LOL 😂! It's such a simple thing but it makes a huge difference in the look of whatever it is a person is making! Those cup type pulls I haven't seen anywhere I order supplies or in any Google search. I'll be putting a sewing room in one of my 1:12 projects and I'd been looking for simple ways to make spools, and the technique you shared is just exactly what I needed! Thank you again for your help and all the incredible ideas you graciously share. Thank you!! See you on Patreon 🤩!
I’m probably going to watch this 500 times, so far I gasped at the scorch mark on the oven mitt and then, when you zoomed out to show the outlet with the light and the mitt all together the completeness of those details.
Same! I kept going WHAAAT?!?! Over and over. My cat was so mad that I was disturbing her for like 40 minutes. 😂 Such an amazing project, every little detail is truly wonderful. This is a genius at work here!
This diorama is amazing. YOU are amazing. I'll have to watch this again, I feel like I may have missed something, can't take any chances. Missed your subtle humor and calming voice, but being as this was a long one, I completely understand the no voice over. Thanks for sharing your awesome talents with us.
Thank you so much! I love doing a video like this with no voiceover bc it's a mystery. You're like, "what are you doing with googly eyes?" Then you're surprised they're drawer pulls.
You are such a gifted designer/artist. Can't wait to watch this video with my grandson. Art is what keeps us all sane in this crazy world. Thank you for sharing with us!
Wow! Not only a brilliant miniaturist but an ace editor, love how the music and the craft sticks in the mitre cutter break at the same instant! I should just give up now lol! This must be one of the most entertaining miniature videos yet, you should get an Oscar or Emmy (I dont know which is which) for video production on top of artistic talent!
Thank you so much! The editing was a bear! I kept thinking I should've hired someone. I'm glad I got it done but I'm at least hiring out something in the future 😆
I have to stop right here, 5:56, to say BRAVA! Brilliant! I'm 67 years old and I have an embarrassing amount of google eyes. And this idea is fabulous.
wow, starting strong with that amazing door, and it just doesn't stop ... the outlets! all those books! the pencil! the toaster oven was so real I cringed when you put your finger inside it because I was like 'ew, what a gross greasy toaster oven'. Everything you make and the way you make it is amazing. I love everything you do.
Thank you so much! Once I was watching Sugar Charm Shop make bacon from polymer clay. Her food looks so real. She picked up a tool without washing her hands and I thought, 'ooh, salmonella!' Then I remembered it's just clay!
You are so talented! I love that everything is done by scratch, no laser cutouts. I’m so inspired right now, I wish I could start a project instead of housework and Christmas shopping 😂. Thank you for sharing the tools and supplies used also. Your my favorite miniature TH-camr!
Thank you so much! I love figuring out how to make things myself with simple materials. It has become my thing. I really appreciate that! Just blow off your housework and make minis to give out for Christmas 😆
I’ve been following you since you were under 1k (I started on my work account) and watching your creativity and skill increase has been amazing! You must be Queen City for Manchester, the Nashua paper and MB flyer in the video :) I grew up in Nashua 🥰. So excited to see what you have in store for us next!
@@queencityminis I lived in the Northshore and western mass, now I’m just over the boarder in CT. But, back to NH soon:) can’t wait to see more of your work!
The sink is my favorite but all that door hardware and the locks was perfect. Also, the layers of paint (mostly lead of course) built up around the door jamb. So real.
This is so good! Loved watching your creativity. Loved the red and blue thread as a nod to Parker's sewing skills in the appropriate colors. Using the googlie eyes for drawer pulls was great. So fun to see the individual makes from your channel come together.
Thank you so much! The thread spools were a late addition. They say a miniature is never complete. Maybe I'll add a couple more details at a later date. My room is actually fuller than his apartment in the movie. I wanted it look more realistic. In one scene in the mivie, there are three tea kettles in his space 😆 I made just one.
Thank you so much! I like this type of video with no voiceover bc it's a mystery. You're like, "what are you doing with googly eyes?" Then you're surprised they're drawer pulls.
Fantastic work as always Shyra, you are a LEGEND! I think the door tutorial was one of the first I saw on your channel and the level of detail blew my mind!!! 😂 I'm just planning my first diorama/ room box based on a British 90s tv show and thanks to you I feel confident about tackling a faux wood floor. Massive thanks for all your effort and beautiful videos ❤
Awesome! Thank you! I love how the floor turned out for this project. You'd really never know it's made from strips of cereal box. That project sounds great! I hope you enjoy making it. Thanks for watching.
The amount of details in each individual piece is amazing! Just the door itself is a stunning representation of realism and ingenuity! I love how many household items you used. It really shows you don't need expensive materials to make a master piece! Also.. I had a duh moment while watching this... I thought... how is he going to reach the pringles on the shelf above the door?🤦♀🤦♀ Duh, Ara, think about who's apartment it is lol! No surface is too out of reach😄 Thank you for sharing this with us! (even dumber moment as I realize they are above the cabinet lol.... )
Thank you so much! Figuring out how to make each piece as easily as possible was a fun challenge. That's so funny! Nothing is out of reach for Spider-Man. Thank you for watching 😊
This is the best video I have ever seen on how to make and install a door and frame. And using painter's tape to hold things you're working on, genius! All your details are amazing! I'll watch this video again. Thank you for posting. 💕
I like your voice-overs but I understand that this quite a lot of work for a 40 minute video, especially when you've already put so many detailed tutorials for various elements of this miniature This is such a big project, I'll haveto rewatch the video several times to appreciate everything :D
I added captions in case people want a bit of instruction. I prefer videos like this to have no voiceover so it doesn't take you out of the meditative nature of watching a project start to finish. Thank you for watching 😊
Absolutely amazing creative miniature concepts and designs. Your imagination is incredible. I love miniatures. I’m no longer able to create any miniatures, I’ve developed sight impairment disease. So far it doesn’t prevent me from watching your incredible designs. Thank for sharing ❤❤❤❤
Once again, your work is so incredible and enchanting. Your eye for detail is mind boggling and I just can’t stop watching. I’m creating a caravan wagon for fairies that I’m hoping to turn into an entire community, and I’m so excited to try so many of your tips, tricks and techniques! I certainly do not want to just buy a bunch of miniature furniture (although there are definitely pieces I’ll have to work up to). Creating my own is so much more fun and interesting. And I’m learning so much from you and a few other creators. Thank you!!
Thank you so much! I really hope you're subscribed to Where the Gnomes Live. Her style and methods would lend themselves well to making a fairy community. Thank you for watching 😊
I just kept saying, “ WOW!” Throughout the whole video! I’ve watched all your videos where you have made some of these components and loved them. But seeing this all put together as a whole scene is absolutely amazing! And I love how you use everyday things that anyone can find. You inspire me so much. I look forward to all your videos and have saved several for future reference. You amaze me, Shyra!
This is amazing. Holy crap! I'm thinking of a 3D model of Tobey's Peter Parker's apartment. These are great references! Do you mind if I take screenshots and come back to this video in the near future. Please leave these videos up. Don't ever remove them ❤
That's cool! Yes, that's fine. I have individual tutorials for many of the components. th-cam.com/play/PLpru-lV_CsKRbogEzI6IYZ11ch8k0PbTm.html&si=Bp1WaMlLLRLvpAS-
Thank you! I'll keep doing my voiceover for most videos but I like this one without. You watch each step and don't know what I'm making with googly eyes or wire and paint until I show it off. It's so many tutorials in one video. I love the mystery of that style for viewers and it appeals to people who don't speak English since I'm not talking.
Bravo! I really need to pay closer attention to what I'm tossing out. You have a great stash of small plastic throwaways. And your idea for drawer pulls from googly eyes was crazy smart. Very cool. 😍
What a wonderful way to begin my day - coffee in hand and watching the most wonderful and informative views! Thank you for your time. Will have to rewind and watch again. Just so much to take in. Just so clever.
Loved the video, amazing and so very creative - put did miss your commentary...........your voice and delivery are both soothing and distinctive enough to make your videos able to "stand alone", no matter the content!!
Thank you so much! I like this type of video with no voiceover bc it's a mystery. You're like, "what are you doing with googly eyes?" Then you're surprised they're drawer pulls.
You are so clever! I was fascinated from start to finish. I am amazed at how you can turn small everyday items into the most intricate and beautiful little things.
This is the best video making miniatures from scratch I've seen. Loved every second of it. Thank you for sharing. Not only making the tiniest things but making sure it was recorded in a way that we could see the details of what you were doing was another attention to detail you paid. Thank you.
As always, I am amazed at your creative use of everything! I love how your mind works in seeing uses for so many different items. You are a trash-to-treasure guru! Thanks for sharing it all with us!
This is an incredible diorama, absolutely one of your best! The amazing objects you made from everyday trash are really inspiring. I missed your commentary, though!
Thank you! I'll keep doing my voiceover for most videos but I like this one without. You watch each step and don't know what I'm making until I show it off. It's so many tutorials in one video.
Shyra Wow! You are an amazing artist. Love all the detail. It is fantastic. I would love to have all the bits and treasures you have accumulated. Thank you for another wonderful video. Missed your voiceover and the humor you always add. Now I am going to watch again to see the parts I might have missed. ❤
Thank you so much! It's so funny to hear the trash and random bits I use referred to as "treasure". I like this type of video with no voiceover bc it's a mystery. You're like, "what are you doing with googly eyes?" Then you're surprised they're drawer pulls.
I totally understand about trying to condense soooooooo much time into a short video, but well done! I am happy to see the final vision of those seemingly random videos. You really made it look like his apartment!
I wonder if any of you were ever wondering why I was making odd things like a red chair (I made it red just for that thumbnail, knowing it needed to be painted beige/brown) and a toaster oven 😆
Your creativity and attention to detail just blows my mind every single time. You inspire me to do better with my own minis. Thank you Shyra, sincerely
You are the most amazing creator I have ever seen. Ever time I watch one of your videos I am gobsmacked by your creativity. Thank you so much for these.
Wow, you have really steady hands and great eyes for this kind of tiny work. You do an amazing job of all of your dioramas. I love that you reused a lot of recycled materials. 🤗
Thank you. ❤ This is amazing. I am amazed at your skills at turning bits into something. I appreciate how you are perfect with the imperfections of your amazing creations. Your ideas make everything doable. We don't need to spend a fortune on printers, machines, cutters and other expensive things. I've got a box on the shelf and any bits and bobs that look interesting go right in there for later use. The only things I purchased are the angle shears, good tweezers with pointy ends, pointy small scissors, and some tiny glass items because I'm doing a laboratory in my house and think they will be fun. Thanks for filming even those tiny insignificant things like power points... I hope my rooms turn out half as good as this!
Thank you so much! I couldn't agree more. You can make minis from very simple materials and methods and still make something great. I hope you enjoy making your project :) I made an abandoned miniature lab in a book with "slides" on the desk a from plastic and a little box to hold the slides. Maybe that would work with your project. th-cam.com/video/X2Z9yRjj5J8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=TMjHxD1-lqt1olmY
This just made my heart happy. I gave my husband a running commentary throughout and he was saying "oh wow...yeah...that's cool...oh man..." which is what I was saying, too. Thank you! I really do learn so much from your videos. Thank you!

What a nice, thoughtful comment. Thank you so much! I have no plans to stop making minis on TH-cam. I love doing this. Thank you 😊
This is the most amazing miniature! Release a second version with voice over and I'll watch that too!
Maybe someday! There are 9 tutorial videos on my channel covering some of the projects. I added captions for a bit of instruction.
Me too, I thought the door looked familiar!
@@queencityminisI always appreciate the captions you have about the process on your non-voiceover videos
@@queencityminis I honestly think I watch 85% for your voice overs! You have such a calm voice and I like your dry little jokes
@@hoppingwren thank you! That's so funny
the tiny locks on the door are amazing! your work is so detailed and beautiful, it's a pleasure to watch you create.
Thank you so much! Lots of people make minis using polystyrene plastic from the hobby store. I wanted to see what I could do with an oatmeal lid. I love how it turned out! The glue really helped add a convincing texture.

Amazing! I love the tiny pens and pencils and your electrical outlets/plugs! Not to mention your tiny cotton reels!! So many tiny details 🤩 and so many great ideas in one video!
Thank you so much :) I'm really pleased with how the outlets turned out. As usual, I wanted to make them as simply as possible. I don't like doing tedious things.
The amount of detail you get in such a tiny space is amazing!!!!! The way you take just random things and make something so incredible!! WOW!!!
This project helped shape me as a miniaturist who uses everyday items to make minis by hand.
I’m 6 minutes in and I had to pause so I could get on my tablet and comment. I love this, and love how you came up with the door locks and the drawer pulls. I love everything about this. I think it’s so much more fun to figure out how to make something instead of buy it. You give inspire me so much.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that. I got the idea for making the lock from miniaturists who use styrene plastic for crafting. An oatmeal lid was a good enough substitute.
If you look closely at the drawer pulls, I accidentally melted them a little 😬 I dried the paint with my heat gun and wasn't paying attention. Just a couple extra seconds deformed them a bit. Nothing too noticeable!
Oh my Gawd…..this is such a good idea. My husband is a huge Spider-Man fan and has collected those comic books since high school. (He’s 57 now and still gets his comic books every month.)

You can do it! Making the door is the hardest part (and it's really not that hard). Adding a closet behind it is no worries. The suit...Textile is not my medium, but a hanging suit shouldn't be too bad.
Maybe fabric from an old stretchy bra? That should be thin enough.
@@karinberonius8799 ohhhh….thats a good idea. I was thinking maybe a pair of tights might work too.
@@valeriebrincheck6034 Of course!
The way you made the window frames for the cabinet was so clever! Definitely working smarter not harder, I love watching these videos!
Working smarter and not harder is my jam!

I watch in awe of your creations, without doubt you're amazing and an inspiration! ❤
Thank you so much 😀 I appreciate that
I just kept saying, “ WOW!” Throughout the whole video! I’ve watched all your videos where you have made some of these components and loved them. But seeing this all put together as a whole scene is absolutely amazing! And I love how you use everyday things that anyone can find. You inspire me so much. I look forward to all your videos and have saved several for future reference. You amaze me, Shyra!
Thank you! It's so exciting for me to bring this project together and see the response. I'm so pleased 😄
This is amazing. Holy crap! I'm thinking of a 3D model of Tobey's Peter Parker's apartment. These are great references! Do you mind if I take screenshots and come back to this video in the near future. Please leave these videos up. Don't ever remove them ❤
That's cool! Yes, that's fine. I have individual tutorials for many of the components.

This is so amazingly well done. I can't believe how realistic and beautiful everything is. I am in awe!
Thank you so much!
By far, this is the best diorama/miniatures channel on TH-cam! Amazing work!❤
Wow, thank you! I really appreciate that!
Absolutely love this build! My goodness, the amount of detail!! I do really miss your voiceover though.
Thank you! I'll keep doing my voiceover for most videos but I like this one without. You watch each step and don't know what I'm making with googly eyes or wire and paint until I show it off. It's so many tutorials in one video. I love the mystery of that style for viewers and it appeals to people who don't speak English since I'm not talking.
Bravo! I really need to pay closer attention to what I'm tossing out. You have a great stash of small plastic throwaways. And your idea for drawer pulls from googly eyes was crazy smart. Very cool. 😍
The googly eyes as drawer pulls was genius
You know I kept the black circles from inside the eyes for future projects 😉 I have such an extensive collection of trash and bits
What a wonderful way to begin my day - coffee in hand and watching the most wonderful and informative views! Thank you for your time. Will have to rewind and watch again. Just so much to take in. Just so clever.
Glad you enjoyed it! I have seen it 50 times bc of all the editing, but I admit. I still like it!
Outstanding. Lost for words. A Marvel fan here. Again learning so much from you. My mind is ablaze. Ty
Thank you so much :) I put a lot of time and effort into this project.
WOW.. thank you for sharing not just the techniques but your imagination! Amazing!👏👏👏👏
Thank you so much!
Loved the video, amazing and so very creative - put did miss your commentary...........your voice and delivery are both soothing and distinctive enough to make your videos able to "stand alone", no matter the content!!
Thank you so much! I like this type of video with no voiceover bc it's a mystery. You're like, "what are you doing with googly eyes?" Then you're surprised they're drawer pulls.
Yet another MASTERPIECE!!!!
I appreciate that 😊
You are so clever! I was fascinated from start to finish. I am amazed at how you can turn small everyday items into the most intricate and beautiful little things.
Thank you so much! This was a labor of love.
Wow! You've exceeded yourself on this one.👏
More, please...
On it! Thank you 😊
This is the best video making miniatures from scratch I've seen. Loved every second of it. Thank you for sharing. Not only making the tiniest things but making sure it was recorded in a way that we could see the details of what you were doing was another attention to detail you paid. Thank you.
Thank you so much! I've gotten better and better at filming to make editing easier. I'm so glad the effort has translated.
FanTASTIC!!!!
Glad you like it!
So many awesome pieces/details! Love watching you make the details which bring this diorama alive!
Thank you very much! I put a lot of love into this project.
As always, I am amazed at your creative use of everything! I love how your mind works in seeing uses for so many different items. You are a trash-to-treasure guru! Thanks for sharing it all with us!
Trash to treasure guru! I like that! Thank you 😊
Holy moly those tiny pencils 😮
I have made toothpick pencils, but they're technically out of scale (too big). I love the tiny pencil and pen I made :)
Fascinating to watch as you created the different elements and completed the room using everyday items that might end up in the trash. Genius.
Thank you so much!
So many techniques, so many ideas! You are so inspirational!! Thank you, thank you!👏👏👏🤩
You are so welcome!
ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!!
Thank you! I'm so pleased with all the comments. You're all the best.
So many amazing and tiny details. Stunning
Thanks so much 😊 I'm proud of this project. It took a lot of time and ingenuity.
Just incredible. Such precision! 😮 You could handle 1:160 with one arm tied behind your back.
Maybe I'll give it a try, although 1:144 is small enough!
Girl you are so amazingly talented!!!!!! Words fail me. I love your work!!!! Wow, just WOW!
Thank you so much!!
This is an incredible diorama, absolutely one of your best! The amazing objects you made from everyday trash are really inspiring. I missed your commentary, though!
Thank you! I'll keep doing my voiceover for most videos but I like this one without. You watch each step and don't know what I'm making until I show it off. It's so many tutorials in one video.
What a treat! Beautifully done and everything handmade. So so good.
Thank you so much!
I love love love this!! You make so much of your miniatures from scratch,& it inspires me so much! U r a natural at this!
Thank you! This project helped shape me as a miniaturist who uses everyday items to make things from scratch.
Shyra Wow! You are an amazing artist. Love all the detail. It is fantastic. I would love to have all the bits and treasures you have accumulated. Thank you for another wonderful video. Missed your voiceover and the humor you always add. Now I am going to watch again to see the parts I might have missed. ❤
Thank you so much! It's so funny to hear the trash and random bits I use referred to as "treasure".
I like this type of video with no voiceover bc it's a mystery. You're like, "what are you doing with googly eyes?" Then you're surprised they're drawer pulls.
Your ingenuity is beyond belief. Love the attention to detail in this room box and the realism of the grubbiness. 😁❤
Thank you so much! Manhattan apartments are not very clean 😆
@@queencityminis haha
love love love miniatures and making things
You and me both!
I totally understand about trying to condense soooooooo much time into a short video, but well done! I am happy to see the final vision of those seemingly random videos. You really made it look like his apartment!
I wonder if any of you were ever wondering why I was making odd things like a red chair (I made it red just for that thumbnail, knowing it needed to be painted beige/brown) and a toaster oven 😆
I totally was wondering!@@queencityminis
So awesome. So full of details. Surely a work of art. I live it.
Thank you so much 😊
You're attention to detail is amazing. I love how you use ordinary items and no fancy CNC machines. Great work
Thank you! Built with my own hands
This leaves me speechless. Literally! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Wow, thank you!
Brilliant idea of cutting the googly eyes for drawer handles btw
Thank you so much 😊
I loved watching this! Couldn't take my eyes off the process. The details are amazing!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you 😊
This turned out fantastic!
Thank you 😊
@@queencityminis ☺️🌸
Shyra~ This is amazing!! (Choice of words intended!) My inner perfectionist is crying tears of joy! I love it so much!!
Thank you! I'm so happy with how it turned out 😁
Your creativity and attention to detail just blows my mind every single time. You inspire me to do better with my own minis. Thank you Shyra, sincerely
Thank you so much! I hope you're having fun creating.
So many great techniques in one tiny room. TFS! As always, amazing work❤
Thanks so much! 😊
You are SO talented and can take ANYTHING and create wonder from it! Thanks for the video! I love watching you create! Kathleen
Thank you so much Kathleen!
You are so incredibly talented! Just an amazing creation! I need to let my grandson watch this!
Please do! Thank you so much 😊
Blessed you are with intuitive creativity ‼️🤩🕊️❣️
Wow, thank you
My eyes were glued from start to finish! I am snagging your idea on making mugs out of cardstock!
She has a tutorial video with voice over for the mugs, with a few different techniques.
Thank you! It's my most popular video
th-cam.com/video/J_XXnnTshcg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=2YfLvm33zn09wSIl
Here's the full tutorial for the mini mugs with voiceover. They are so much fun to make.
That was wonderful to watch! Every little detail that made the end product so great. Thank you.
Thank you for watching!
This is awesome and very inspiring! Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love all of your art
Thank you so much 😊
The level of detail you put in is mind blowing! Thanks for another great video!
Glad you liked it! I had a lot of fun making this.
That was absolutely amazing to watch! That turned out wonderful!
😀
Thank you very much!
You are the most amazing creator I have ever seen. Ever time I watch one of your videos I am gobsmacked by your creativity. Thank you so much for these.
Thank you so much 😀 What a high compliment
12:06 scissor cutting sound was so satisfying 😌
I like keeping some sounds here and there. Most of it is too quiet to hear but every so often ✂️
Love it Shyra! Really inspiring. Your use of materials is truly ingenious.
Thank you so much!
THIS WAS WONDERFUL and I MEAN THIS WAS GREAT!!!! I Truly Enjoyed this Very Satisfying VIDEO watching everything come Together!!! GO SHYRA GO!!
Thank you Gretchen! I really appreciate that 😊
Completely amazing!
Thanks a lot! This was a lot of work
Wow, you have really steady hands and great eyes for this kind of tiny work. You do an amazing job of all of your dioramas. I love that you reused a lot of recycled materials. 🤗
Thank you! I have an entire collection of bits and pieces (and trash) for making minis.
Wow,!wow!wow! Stunning work, great tutorial. Your eye for detail 🤌🏽🤌🏽❤️
Thank you so much!!
Thank you. ❤
This is amazing. I am amazed at your skills at turning bits into something. I appreciate how you are perfect with the imperfections of your amazing creations. Your ideas make everything doable. We don't need to spend a fortune on printers, machines, cutters and other expensive things.
I've got a box on the shelf and any bits and bobs that look interesting go right in there for later use.
The only things I purchased are the angle shears, good tweezers with pointy ends, pointy small scissors, and some tiny glass items because I'm doing a laboratory in my house and think they will be fun.
Thanks for filming even those tiny insignificant things like power points... I hope my rooms turn out half as good as this!
Thank you so much! I couldn't agree more. You can make minis from very simple materials and methods and still make something great. I hope you enjoy making your project :) I made an abandoned miniature lab in a book with "slides" on the desk a from plastic and a little box to hold the slides. Maybe that would work with your project.

@queencityminis It was actually your videos of that room box that gave me the idea! And I do plan to use that video to make slides... ❤️
@cathymadsen2930 that's awesome! I hope you enjoy making it
Omg I haven’t even watched and I know I’m going to enjoy this 😊
Thanks for all you share ❤
Hope you like it! Editing this video nearly did me in 😆
You are beyond talented! 🤩 Great format of video, presenting all the individual projects as a whole!
Thank you! Start to finish! I love how it turned out
I’m mimosa! It turned out so good! Nice work!
