There is a strange phenomenon- crafting supplies are never just crafting supplies. In your videos they're all reminiscent of food, here I guess they're all dinosaur park pieces for some reason?
It's a really pretty build. I have a few tips for you. For the shingles you can use one of those scarpbooking scissors which blades are shaped. There are curvy ones, pointy ones, ... SO much faster than doing it with normal ones. For the tower's roof, if you don't cut completly through the cardboard, only scratch it, you can fold it. It keeps shape and you don't need to glue each pannel. It needs a litlle geometry thinking and maths but it's worth it. If you cut out a triangle and use it as a pattern for all the sides, you draw them sides touching, scratch the cardboard, fold, bam you got a roof with almost no glue. Sorry, english isn't my first language. I hope it's clear enough.
Your English is fantastic, don't worry about it! The issue I have with using scrapbooking scissors is that I build at a bunch of different scales and every roof is a different pattern... so I'd have to get new scissors for every build, which seems impractical to me. Totally agree on the roof part- scoring is super useful, I've just found it doesn't work well with paperboard. It's great with something like cardstock, but if you do it with paperboard the shapes aren't very sharp and distort a bit. Appreciate the tips a ton though, thank you so much 💜
Wait, you mentioned T-Nu! Now we need an animation collab with you, T-Nu, Crafsman, and the rest where you and T-Nu make the sets, T-Nu and Crafsman make the minis.... --oh if that were to happen the world wouldn't know what to do!
Yes, he's the best! I got a chance to speak with him on his podcast a while ago actually! I would die to get a bunch of the super amazing miniature creators to work on some kind of little short film project together at some point. It could be soooo much fun!
I've always been torn because I love them, but I also don't love all the problems that come along with a lot of old houses. If there was one that had already had major updates done, that would probably be the dream!
"If it doesn't look like a wizard might live there, what even is the POINT." Truer words ever spoken. THAT is real estate taste. My own dream houses look like little ancient, half-restored mediterranean villas.
Ooo that's also some great taste haha! There is seriously so much beautiful architecture out there in the world. Give me the homes with character and a little bit of history any day~
Hahaha they make good shapes for hills! Thank you for all the super kind words, of course 💜 Really happy you could enjoy, it was so much fun to design the house~
Yes! I know there are pinking shears and other patterned scissors, the problem with them is mainly that they are often not the right scale since I build at all different sizes. Also every roof I have made so far has had a completely different shingle pattern, so it's just not really practical to a certain extent. Honestly would be much easier though lol!
Yay! Victorian houses are too cool! I remember when my parents used to work at an antique shop, so many neat, intricate Victorian styled furniture pieces passed through those doors. I’m also glad I’ll finally be able to participate in the Patreon challenges again. Really looking forward to this one!
Ooooo that's so dangerous, I'd be wanting to take all the cool furniture home haha! That's so cool though, I can imagine it would be super fun to see what came through the door. Yesss! So excited to see any projects you make for the future project challenges~
@@MechanicalFiend Some of the stuff was so wild! Crazy, weird, old toys, beautifully hand carved designs in furniture pieces, gaudy upholstery. There was definitely a large spectrum of items. Fortunately/unfortunately I was in high school at the time so both being able to afford such items and have room for them wasn't really a possibility. I did get to keep a few of the paintings though.
My wife loved the Queen Anne style Victorian houses, until I reminded her of all the stairs. Since she was visually impaired, stairs were always scary to her. I, on the other hand, love to look at them, would even love to walk around in one, get the floor plans... I love floor plans, makes writing easier if you have an idea of what the house you are looking at looks like. Anyway, my dream home would be round or crescent shaped and at least partly underground. I love the idea. It would be south to southeasterly oriented so you get winter and morning sun. Of course, at less than 3 months from 70 and owning my own home, I do mean own, it is paid off, I don't foresee this happening.
I do think there are some little cottage-type one story Victorian(ish?) style homes as well! But totally, just visiting these types of homes is fantastic. That sounds like a lovely dream home! The orientation of a house is so important, love having all sorts of natural light in spaces. That said, the fact that you own your home is wonderful, regardless if it's exactly that picture of a dream house or not~
Id love a gothic hobbit house someday, I like above ground homes, but the efficiency of a hobbit hole is too much to not take imo. Deep coloured wood floors, with wainscotting a third of the way up the walls, and the other 2 being a charcoal black colour with red accents, and wood beam arches every 5 feet for support. Red round stained glass windows like a gothic church, the window in the living room having a padded spot to lay and read, the one in the kitchen opening up to pass through to an outdoor seating area, a big pantry with lots of space for canning and drying and storing food. A little natural pond fed with rain running off the roof for the ducks to swim in, the most autumnal pumpkin patch there ever was, a pretty little garden shed, some big oak trees, dry stone walls with ivy growing over it, a wrought iron gate, cobblestone paths with flower bushes along it, and path leading up to a spot for picnics on the grass roof. maybe a tower in the back as well, cause theyre so pretty, and have good views, a writing room in the spire roof would be the most amazing thing ever.
Here's an idea for a less mind-numbing version of shingles. 😂 Get a hole punch and punch out a bunch of holes. Overlap them, but with the top row cut them in half so that they all look like half-circles.
May be less mind-numbing, but will certainly be more hand-numbing haha! I've had to hole punch a lot of pieces in the past and it's really rough on my wrists because of the impact. Surprisingly cutting the strips is slightly less so!
Oh, I love what you said about the library. I haven't had a library card for years. I just hadn't thought of it. I'll prioritize going to my local library and getting a card very soon. Thank you!
This makes me the happiest to hear! I'm so passionate about the library- it is just one of the best resources, even besides checking out materials. They have all kinds of events and programs for free!
I think my first memory of wanting a Victorian house was when I first saw it illustrated in Amelia's Family Ties by Marissa Moss. They're very aesthetic indeed! Always a welcome sight when passing through a neighborhood where it's least expected!
when I saw the notification I clicked SO fast ! I was the 80th view and the 19th like.... loved every minute of the video and the end result is incredible... ! I have loved this type of house all my life as well, and these colors are perfect... the tiniest details are mind boggling .. so as always thanks for sharing your talents with us.. Have a lovely day...
Ahhhh well thank you so much for giving it a watch, as always! Yes! These types of houses just have so much charm, I just adore all of the little intricate details. And of course, thank you for all your kind words, always happy to hear you can enjoy the projects 💜
The funny thing is it's actually... extra old hair? I just haven't had time to go get it cut recently, I need to because it's driving me nuts lol. Thank you so much, always so happy to see you pop up in the comments as well haha~
Ahhh well I'm so honored you thought so, thank you as always! Truthfully I am pretty happy living anywhere, but a house like this would be such a dream~
Thank you so much! Truly so long as I have A home to live in, I'll be happy! Totally, gotta have at least a tiny yard to get all that good nature footage in haha~
This is so cool, D. I hope that you get a full-scale dreamhouse one day! You deserve it. Thanks so much for the mention. I love seeing you use the mask in Davinci! Those night scenes of yours are always my favorite ones too. Very cool build and a beautifully relaxing video. The dance moves were unexpected but greatly appreciated. Nice work!
Ahhh well thank you so much, I really will be grateful to have any house one day, but something like this would be a dream~ Of course! Love your videos, gotta mention them haha! Really glad to hear you like the night shots as well, shooting those ones is such a blast. Thank you thank you as always, your comments never fail to motivate me!
@@MechanicalFiend I am going to build me a house. And maybe I can put it next to yours and we can be neighbors. When you figure out how we can shrink yourself. Your home is so nice and cute. I just had a thought we can go to Hollywood and find Honey I shrink the kids machine. Fun 😊 fun.😂
How is the hand feeling? You did a great job on the interior of your new place and on the mini-dream house too. Since I now know those are the style you like, have you ever had a chance to tour houses from that period? I ask as I grew up in Memphis, TN, and there are several period houses that aren't just still standing and taken care of, but since they are also part of the museum system, you can tour them and see what the furniture looked like and how the decorations were. It wouldn't be the whole dream, but it would give you a tangible part of it. I hope you have a wonder filled weekend, Madam Fiend!
It's all good now thankfully! Will probably have scars, but so long as the pain and swelling is gone, I'm happy! Ahhh thank you so much, it was a blast to work on designing this. Yes! I have been around several Victorian homes and a castle from that era in various places I've lived. I'm actually visiting another one this month too! They are always just so beautiful and bring all the joy! Even if I never live in one, it's all good-there are always opportunities to see them~ Hope you had a nice weekend and a great week as well!
So. Much. Cutting! You are so patient. I love how it turned out. My favorite part is the ⭐ & 🌙 Easter eggs My dream home would be open and sunny with space to play cards & board games with my friends and a big craft room
Yeahhhh too much cutting tbh, those windows really killed me! Thank you so much, super glad you could enjoy it! Oh your dream home just sounds so lovely, open light space and a craft room? Truly what more do you need?
Ooof yeah I can only imagine for four stories.... but that sounds so awesome! It's a love hate relationship with the windows. Definitely sounds like a project that would be up my alley haha~
Soo cute!! I definitely relate to doing things in the wrong order, and making more work for myself! In 2011-16, I lived in my car in Hawaii, and then rented rooms from people. I started building little houses & buildings, because that was all I had space for. Then in 2017, I inherited a beautiful house from my mother. I never thought I would have a house of my own like that!! So, keep dreaming! ❤
Sometimes as much as you plan, you really can't predict what order will be the best to do things in. It really is funny how life ends up working out, often in ways we never expect! We never know where we'll find ourselves one day, which is totally why it's always worth it to have dreams~
As always, it's all the tiny details that bring your projects to life. Hot glue flower pots...nifty. If you want to try a different method for making the scalloped shingles, use your hole punch to make a boatload of confetti, then glue the disks to strips. Overlap the strips at half the height of the disks, shifted over half a disk, and voila! I think. I haven't done it but it works in my head. (Or you could glue all the disks to a sheet so you don't risk any gaps in coverage.)
To be honest I've actually made other things where I punched out a bunch of pieces with the hole punch and it was a lot harder on my hands than cutting the strips. The impact really goes to the wrists when you use the hole punch. Would probably work well if it was easier on the hands though!
Ahhhh well thank you thank you so much! I have some things I would love to go back and change, but that just means we're learning along the way, which is always a good thing~
At first I was kind of sad that you won't build something that's modeled after something I'll recognize, since that's usually what wows me most. But then I kept watching and those pictures in the end (especially the night ones :D) really won me over! It looks awesome and I kind of started dreaming about living there myself :)
Ahhh well I really do love working on original projects sometimes, so thank you for giving it a chance regardless! So happy to hear you could enjoy it, shooting all the final shots of this was such a blast~
Loved this project and the final shots❤ Thank you for walking through how you did all of that. I think my dream home would be an old Victorian as well, but in an ugly avocado green lol! I think I have made a career out of making houses I wish I could live in but never will be able to😄
Thank you so much! It's always the most fun to make little versions of dream places to live- if only it would be that easy in actual size! I would be so down to live in your captain's quarters project or have the beetle juice snake railing you made recently in a house haha💜
I am still watching (and loving every second of the "why so many windows?" (I love/hate/love windows) conflict. But I have to hit pause to comment: libraries! also, BOOKS and a purple Victorian house! May I recommend Ann Aguirre's "The Only Purple House in Town" if you like whimsy, queer acceptance, magic and romance? (I'm going to link to my review in a reply, in case it's inappropriate to do so here, I can delete it if you want.)
Ohhhhh that sounds quite wonderful, I'll have to look it up! Not gonna lie, my to-read list is so long right now that it might be years until I get around to it haha, but definitely sounds like something up my alley! Thank you so much for the recommendation~ (Also, I do believe I allow links, but youtube still deletes them a lot of the time... so I'm afraid it might get lost to the void unfortunately)
It looks like a gingerbread house to me... in the best way! I started making single rooms, dollhouse style and don't know how I'll unite them into one building yet 😊
Gingerbread house is exactly what I was going for! Ooo that sounds like quite the undertaking, I can imagine it would be a challenge to make them into one building. So cool, wish you luck with it!
Nice! I love the painted lady houses and occasionally look through the books I have about them. Unfortunately I'm looking to downsize and not going bigger. Also I wouldn't be able to keep up the size of a Victorian house without help. I hope that your dream of living in a house, like your miniature comes true.
Totally understand that, to be honest I also don't know if I would want a house quite as big as many Victorians, but gotta love the look of them haha! Ahhh well thank you so much, I'll be quite happy with any house one day, but this would certainly be a dream~
Such a great build and relaxing video again! My dream home is a tiny house, so that would be way more easy to build in miniature. Or was, because I already made it. :)
Waiiiiiit did you make a tiny tiny house? That's the best thing I've heard all day, I love it! And thank you so much for the kind words, always happy to hear you can enjoy! Also, hope you don't mind me saying, but really hope your dog has been doing ok 💜
@@MechanicalFiend Thanks, my dog is ok! Could be better, could be worse. Her mood is pretty good though! I'll show you the tiny tiny house on discord. :)
I love it! The house is so ambitious and exciting! I love how you can imagine so many ways to use the materials. I'm gonna watch this again and try and pick up more hints for future projects. Thank you for sharing your process!
Thank you so much, as always! It was such a fun time designing it. Still a little iffy about the thick yarn trim, but that's alright. So long as you're using yarn with some kind of PVA glue, it seems to be pretty ok to work with because you can reposition it super easily!
Watching you make any craft specifically tailored to your own interests is so sweet and rewarding---it's really the best feeling as a crafter! Also love the musical interludes you drop in here and there in the video, really feels like I'm vibing with the work too lol
Honestly every single craft I make is kinda tailored toward my interests haha, could never work on one that wasn't something I was excited about. Totally, gotta make the stuff you're passionate about! And so happy to hear it! I try to just show the process as it is as much as possible, which always always includes music~
Ooof I think it would get quite annoying quite fast, but will admit that's pretty much how it is when I'm crafting... nonstop. It's probably best I'm alone in my room because I think it would drive anyone nuts after a while hahaha!
The Neverending Story😂 So. True! So glad to see another video. You keep doing you✌️🖖 Edit- Just wanna throw out there that egg cartons (the paper kind, not styrofoam) are great for texture! A Square to Spare had a great video for how to do a paver patio (now I forgot what it's called; guess I'll be back again, lol). I did it for a Christmas Village, and it came out great! I was thinking in terms of your stepping stones (nothing wrong with them, just thought you'd enjoy more textures). I love your beautiful little house😍
I found the video you're talking about and that does look super cool! I'll keep that in mind for next time, what a great texture for stones! Honestly it is pretty much what I did to these since I put papier mache over them, but using that material itself would take away that step, which is even better haha! Thanks so much for the suggestion~
@@MechanicalFiend You're very welcome! I was so impressed when I used the egg carton (must be other stuff that is that material). Especially since I'm not that good, lol! Your things are so beautiful, and I love textures. I figured you could use another texture🤗✌️
I mean I like my house but it would be a literal dream to live in a beautiful Victorian house. You did an absolutely amazing job with this project it’s so beautiful, honestly watching your videos are always a risk because it inspires me to want to try and make something in a similar way and my adhd hyper focus will probably make me add more details than necessary but I low key kinda want to build my own dream house now
Yes! Having a house period is the dream, but one as beautiful as this would be beyond imagination. Thank you so much, of course always so happy to hear you could enjoy! Hahaha apologies for the temptation, but if you build your own little dream house, I would love to see it~
I wish I knew you IRL. You seem so nice. If I was ever able to move into a house, I'd want an A-frame cabin in the woods, in some mountains. The house would be like 3-4 bedrooms, a few bathrooms, and it must have a deep dark basement that I'd sleep in. I'd want a detached garage or barn kind of place, for all my toys.
Ahhh well that is very kind, tbh I think I actually can come off quite cold in real life because I'm really shy. That's super nice of you to say though! Oooo a cabin in the mountains sounds lovely! I'm sure you'd be able to have an amazing view as well depending on where it was~
It's always nice to see you and the little worlds that you create. I hope you get your real-life dream home someday. Though any house that is filled with love and happiness can be a dream home.
You have it absolutely right, any house can be transformed into a place that brings happiness. Thank you as always for your super kind words and for giving the videos a watch! So glad you could enjoy 💜
really happy to see this pop up in my feed today!!! I love your builds and this is adorable! I actually lived in a house like this and nothing is straight and there were definitely gaps in the lean to green house :D
So glad you could enjoy it, next time around it definitely shouldn't take as long since there won't be a move in between~ Yeahhh I love a lot of things about old homes, but man do they come with a lot of problems often too. I also lived in an old house (not a Victorian one though) recently and all the floors were completely out of level, which I must admit was quite inconvenient lol
I love your use of found items to keep things as low cost as possible, and the behind the scenes of how you shoot the minis has really helpful information.
Expressing your talent and authenticity with this project was a step toward manifesting your dream house - you’ll have your Victorian house one day. Thanks for sharing, the result was super charming.
So long as I can maybe have A house one day, I'm happy! Even having this little miniature dream house is enough for me haha! Thank you for giving it a watch, super happy you could enjoy~
I do miniature wargaming, and when i do bases or terrain/buildings, its usually made from alot of materials bought from the hobby shop, but im always amazed at how you make everything from scratch, all the details that go into your builds all made from hand and it all looks so well when done :D
Yes, many of the people I watch do wargaming stuff too, I love it! The materials from a hobby shop are honestly great too and can really help speed up the process a lot- time is usually the cost of making everything from scratch haha. But let's be honest- it's all fun so long as you're making something! Ahhh just thank you so much for all the kind words my friend~
Ahhh well thank you so much, always always happy to hear you can enjoy~ Hahaha yes! Gotta have a dance break every once in a while, makes the whole process that much more fun!
Ahhh you're too kind, thank you for making my night brighter! The next project is in the works, but it's been quite a tricky build so far even if it's not as complicated of a project~
I love your content. I made a promise to myself to only subscribe to people id watch each new video they put out. And you're one of those 4. Every upload is a treat. The amount of effort you put into your craft is always amazing and appreciated. You inspire me to be myself and seeing you make such awesome things makes me wanna make awesome things too. You just shine soo bright, thank you for all that you do!
Oh my goodness, are you trying to make me cry here? Hahaha well my friend I am completely honored to be one of the four, and hearing all that... ahh I just can't even tell you how much that means. Really hope you pursue the things that make you excited and create what you are inspired to- the world always needs more people making things 💜
Gorgeous. You do fantastic, tedious work. And I love your love of vibrant colors. That is my style also. I make miniature room boxes and dioramas myself. I am a new subscriber. Can't wait to take the time to see all your postings.👋
Yes! Another vibrant color fan! Haha they really just bring so much joy~ That's so awesome! If you ever want to send any of your projects my way, totally do, I'd love to see them 💜
This is so cool! I love a good 💫asthetic💫 victorian house! Also, I definitely remember those dot candies, I think I ate more paper than sugar when I had them though…
Thank you so much, really glad you could enjoy, as always! Hahaha that doesn't surprise me! I actually don't think I ever had them, but they were always a staple at the movie theater from what I can remember.
What a charming house! I hope you get a big one some day. :) I love the purple and green, and of course, the moon additions. And although I do not "plant", my favorite part is the greenhouse.
If I can have a house period, I'll be beyond happy! Yes! Gotta pack in all the things you love if it's gonna be a dream house. I think the greenhouse is my favorite part as well... guess I gotta start learning about gardening in preparation?
This was fun to watch and I learned a few tips on how to make some grass without the artificial things they sell. I hope I can make it work hehe glad to see a new vid, take your time on the uploads as the results are always worth it
There's tons of really cool ways to make grass textures with different materials, just gotta try some different stuff out! So glad it could maybe be helpful and you could enjoy! Really appreciate you saying that so much, this next one shouldn't be quite as long since I'm finally settled in after the move~
I'm impressed by your creative approach to crafting! Utilizing materials you already have for your projects is a clever way to go about it. I recently made peter griffin's house as well
Often working under certain restraints and challenging yourself to use a set group of materials can lead to more creative thinking and problem solving! That's one of the reasons I love it so much! Just saw your Peter Griffin's house as well- so good! Thank you for sharing it with me~
I LOVE IT!!! Genius! I'm building some houses right now. I can't wait to do a Victorian but I'm starting out smaller cause they are so intimidating but I would love to get a life size one also!!! The potential!!!!! The wood work!!!! The architecture in general!!! SWOON! Thanks for making us a video!
That's so awesome! I totally want to see your houses when they're done if you want to share! Yes! The Victorian houses are so beautiful in all the tiny little intricate details. Love it all so much 💜 Definitely a challenge to build, even in miniature though~
I love your videos so much, in every single aspect of it. This house is the cutest thing ever, I love how much detail your builds have and I absolutely love the bit at the end where you go throught the editing proccess.
Ahhhh stop! That's all too nice, thank you so much for all the kind words as always! This one was so much fun to design as it's something really close to my heart. And it makes me so happy to hear that you enjoy the editing pieces too, I love talking about the process and am never sure if it'll be interesting, so... thank you for saying that!
love this!! i too have always wanted to live in a victorian house (pink) 😍 as always am so impressed with your creativity, the sponge plants!? *chef kiss* i love how the reveal scene reminded me of beetlejuice! also the necklace you wore is stuunniinng ☺️
There's this one pink Victorian house somewhere that I lived and every time I passed it, it made me so happy! Just so beautiful! Ahh thank you for all the super kind words, as always~ Makes me the happiest that you can enjoy 💜
you always put so much effort into your videos!!! Im currently in college studying production design and a big part of that is making miniatures!! its so much fun and i love seeing all your techniques. I cant wait for your next video!
Wooooooah yes! That's so cool you're studying production design! I studied film and ended up doing a lot of production design as well, but not too much on the miniature side of it. Might be biased, but you chose a great topic of study haha! Hope you are enjoying it and so happy to hear you can enjoy the videos~
Hahaha so happy to hear someone else shares in the dream! Maybe we will find ourselves in them one day! Thank you so much for all the super kind words my friend~
Good to see new content. This is a wonderful little build. Not sure if you are familiar with Portland, OR but they call some of their houses "painted ladies" and they remind me of Victorian houses.
Took a while this time with the move! Shouldn't be as long next time! Thank you so much, glad you could enjoy it~ I hadn't heard of them before, but quite a few people mentioned them. Of course I had to look it up- so cool!
Tip for the roofs of the towers, but maybe you thought about it yourself already, just make one piece. So actually what you did now, but then al the rectangles connected and at the end you can make a little piece to glue the two ends together to get that octagon shape.
Totally that would make it a lot easier, but I do usually work with paperboard for the base structure because it's a bit thicker and stronger... which also means that it doesn't fold and form into shapes as well as one piece. To get the crisp edges you kinda have to cut it, but that would work great for something like cardstock!
@@MechanicalFiend Does it also not work when you cut sharp lines into the paperboard? Well, I think you did a great job anyhow, so that's the important part :D
Great video, as always. Your videos are always so comfortable and entertaining. Thanks for sharing it all with us. I hope you get your dream house some day. I’ll fly up and help you paint it.
Thanks for giving it a watch, as always! Ahhh that's really just the best thing to hear, glad you could enjoy it 💜 It might be many years from now, but I'll be calling you up to help paint one day hopefully haha~
This is so, so cool. Recently I made my first ever miniature creation, inspired of course by all of yours. I made a mini library as a book end for a Christmas present, and whilst it's certainly a work in progress and I have alot to learn, it was so much fun to make! Thank you for posting videos, they always inspire me to create something :) ( and thank you for captioning them!! )
You are so multi-talented, I enjoy watching and listening to you while you painstakingly create your miniatures. Thanks for introducing me to Howl’s Moving Castle, I had only known of it because of the Merry Go Round song being a song I play on BeatSaber….searching on TH-cam about that song I found your lovely channel! Are you enjoying your new real-life home?
Ahhh you're too kind, thank you so much for saying that! That's so awesome that you found Howl's Moving Castle, it's such a wonderful little film (and book series)! Hope you have been enjoying it~ Yes! I absolutely love the new house, I am super lucky to have a lot more space to film now, which is fantastic 💜
I like that you talk about crafting, things that inspire you as well as how you film and edit, very interesting, thank you, it also helps me be creative again 💜 (oh and i love the vibes of your work and channel ^^ !!)
I do own a house but its definitely not my dream house. This turned out amazing! I hate windows, try replacing 3 foot by 4 foot window on the second story. Very nerve wracking. And hard! And you have a very lovely singing voice!😊
Well hey, any house at all is great in my books! Thank you so much for all the super kind words! It was a fun build and indeed, making miniature windows is certainly much easier than that so I probably shouldn't complain haha~
You know the funny thing is that I don't believe I've ever even had them, but they used to be a staple at the movie theater... probably best not to trust a candy that could be mistaken for a craft project?
Yet again your amazing and your patience is unreal ! My favourite part is the greenhouse! Always look forward to your videos when I see a new one pop up ! Great work ! :)
Ahhh my friend you are always too kind, thank you so much! I think the greenhouse is my favorite bit as well, looks like I gotta start learning some gardening haha~
Yes, gingerbread house is exactly the direction I was heading! Oooo that sounds awesome, I can imagine that would end up being quite a big project combined in one building. So cool~
You’re such a great artist. I’d live there. My dream house would be what it is now but with more space. Lol Have you heard of Bentley House minis? She does sort of like you to make houses. She is making beetlejuice house now. It’s great to read too. Since the end of 2020 I’ve been reading every day for 30 to 60 minutes. It works out to a book a month. What do you like to read?
Hahaha well at least you've got a piece of your dream house as it stands! Yes, of course! I love her channel very much, have learned so many little things from her videos. That's awesome! I just try to read when I can, which also usually works out to about a book a month. I read a bit of everything, but I'd say my favorite genres are fantasy and sci-fi~
The occasional mentions of Operation Genesis are one of my favorite pieces of channel lore
There is a strange phenomenon- crafting supplies are never just crafting supplies. In your videos they're all reminiscent of food, here I guess they're all dinosaur park pieces for some reason?
It's a really pretty build. I have a few tips for you. For the shingles you can use one of those scarpbooking scissors which blades are shaped. There are curvy ones, pointy ones, ... SO much faster than doing it with normal ones. For the tower's roof, if you don't cut completly through the cardboard, only scratch it, you can fold it. It keeps shape and you don't need to glue each pannel. It needs a litlle geometry thinking and maths but it's worth it. If you cut out a triangle and use it as a pattern for all the sides, you draw them sides touching, scratch the cardboard, fold, bam you got a roof with almost no glue.
Sorry, english isn't my first language. I hope it's clear enough.
You did fine. Understood everything. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🌹
Your English was great!
Your English is fantastic, don't worry about it! The issue I have with using scrapbooking scissors is that I build at a bunch of different scales and every roof is a different pattern... so I'd have to get new scissors for every build, which seems impractical to me. Totally agree on the roof part- scoring is super useful, I've just found it doesn't work well with paperboard. It's great with something like cardstock, but if you do it with paperboard the shapes aren't very sharp and distort a bit. Appreciate the tips a ton though, thank you so much 💜
Wait, you mentioned T-Nu! Now we need an animation collab with you, T-Nu, Crafsman, and the rest where you and T-Nu make the sets, T-Nu and Crafsman make the minis.... --oh if that were to happen the world wouldn't know what to do!
Yes, he's the best! I got a chance to speak with him on his podcast a while ago actually! I would die to get a bunch of the super amazing miniature creators to work on some kind of little short film project together at some point. It could be soooo much fun!
Always wanted to have a Victorian house one day
But how well insulated are they
I've always been torn because I love them, but I also don't love all the problems that come along with a lot of old houses. If there was one that had already had major updates done, that would probably be the dream!
"I live for the fantasy not the reality"
My favorite quote 💜
That's honestly one of the greatest joys of miniatures- if you can do pretty much anything, why wouldn't you go full fantasy? Hahaha 💜
The stop motion potential for these minis / mini houses is very inspiring!
That's the best thing to hear since it would totally be the dream for me- I would die to work on sets for a stop motion film one day!
"If it doesn't look like a wizard might live there, what even is the POINT." Truer words ever spoken. THAT is real estate taste. My own dream houses look like little ancient, half-restored mediterranean villas.
Ooo that's also some great taste haha! There is seriously so much beautiful architecture out there in the world. Give me the homes with character and a little bit of history any day~
It's soo cute when you realize that under the hills giant plush animals were hiding all the time :D Beautiful work and amazing shots, as always ❤
Hahaha they make good shapes for hills! Thank you for all the super kind words, of course 💜 Really happy you could enjoy, it was so much fun to design the house~
I'm building a ruined green house in next couple weeks so the glue on my plastic is a really handy trick👍 thanks! Awesome build!
Ooooooo that sounds like such a cool project, good luck with it! If you wanna send it my way when you're done, I would love to see it~
@@MechanicalFiend I could definitely do that! Thanks for showing interest 👍 Your channel is awesome very inspiring!
Can you imagine hanging a hammock in the greenhouse, and how awesome it would smell, while you take a nap?
You, my friend, are speaking my language- this is exactly the dream!
There are special serrated, zig-zag etc. bladed scissors that could aid you on your roof shingles journey! :)
Yes! I know there are pinking shears and other patterned scissors, the problem with them is mainly that they are often not the right scale since I build at all different sizes. Also every roof I have made so far has had a completely different shingle pattern, so it's just not really practical to a certain extent. Honestly would be much easier though lol!
Yay! Victorian houses are too cool! I remember when my parents used to work at an antique shop, so many neat, intricate Victorian styled furniture pieces passed through those doors. I’m also glad I’ll finally be able to participate in the Patreon challenges again. Really looking forward to this one!
Ooooo that's so dangerous, I'd be wanting to take all the cool furniture home haha! That's so cool though, I can imagine it would be super fun to see what came through the door. Yesss! So excited to see any projects you make for the future project challenges~
@@MechanicalFiend Some of the stuff was so wild! Crazy, weird, old toys, beautifully hand carved designs in furniture pieces, gaudy upholstery. There was definitely a large spectrum of items. Fortunately/unfortunately I was in high school at the time so both being able to afford such items and have room for them wasn't really a possibility. I did get to keep a few of the paintings though.
My wife loved the Queen Anne style Victorian houses, until I reminded her of all the stairs. Since she was visually impaired, stairs were always scary to her. I, on the other hand, love to look at them, would even love to walk around in one, get the floor plans... I love floor plans, makes writing easier if you have an idea of what the house you are looking at looks like. Anyway, my dream home would be round or crescent shaped and at least partly underground. I love the idea. It would be south to southeasterly oriented so you get winter and morning sun. Of course, at less than 3 months from 70 and owning my own home, I do mean own, it is paid off, I don't foresee this happening.
I do think there are some little cottage-type one story Victorian(ish?) style homes as well! But totally, just visiting these types of homes is fantastic. That sounds like a lovely dream home! The orientation of a house is so important, love having all sorts of natural light in spaces. That said, the fact that you own your home is wonderful, regardless if it's exactly that picture of a dream house or not~
Id love a gothic hobbit house someday, I like above ground homes, but the efficiency of a hobbit hole is too much to not take imo.
Deep coloured wood floors, with wainscotting a third of the way up the walls, and the other 2 being a charcoal black colour with red accents, and wood beam arches every 5 feet for support. Red round stained glass windows like a gothic church, the window in the living room having a padded spot to lay and read, the one in the kitchen opening up to pass through to an outdoor seating area, a big pantry with lots of space for canning and drying and storing food.
A little natural pond fed with rain running off the roof for the ducks to swim in, the most autumnal pumpkin patch there ever was, a pretty little garden shed, some big oak trees, dry stone walls with ivy growing over it, a wrought iron gate, cobblestone paths with flower bushes along it, and path leading up to a spot for picnics on the grass roof.
maybe a tower in the back as well, cause theyre so pretty, and have good views, a writing room in the spire roof would be the most amazing thing ever.
Here's an idea for a less mind-numbing version of shingles. 😂 Get a hole punch and punch out a bunch of holes. Overlap them, but with the top row cut them in half so that they all look like half-circles.
May be less mind-numbing, but will certainly be more hand-numbing haha! I've had to hole punch a lot of pieces in the past and it's really rough on my wrists because of the impact. Surprisingly cutting the strips is slightly less so!
Your creativity never ceases to amaze me. I very much hope that your house owning dreams come true.
I'll be happy if I can own any kind of house, hopefully one day! Thank you so much for all the kind words my friend 💜
Oh, I love what you said about the library. I haven't had a library card for years. I just hadn't thought of it. I'll prioritize going to my local library and getting a card very soon. Thank you!
This makes me the happiest to hear! I'm so passionate about the library- it is just one of the best resources, even besides checking out materials. They have all kinds of events and programs for free!
I think my first memory of wanting a Victorian house was when I first saw it illustrated in Amelia's Family Ties by Marissa Moss. They're very aesthetic indeed! Always a welcome sight when passing through a neighborhood where it's least expected!
when I saw the notification I clicked SO fast ! I was the 80th view and the 19th like.... loved every minute of the video and the end result is incredible... ! I have loved this type of house all my life as well, and these colors are perfect... the tiniest details are mind boggling .. so as always thanks for sharing your talents with us.. Have a lovely day...
Ahhhh well thank you so much for giving it a watch, as always! Yes! These types of houses just have so much charm, I just adore all of the little intricate details. And of course, thank you for all your kind words, always happy to hear you can enjoy the projects 💜
god i love this channel so much
Well I love this comment so much hahaha! No seriously, I am honored, really happy you can enjoy the videos~
Loving the new hair. 🙂 great to see you pop up in my notifications, with another fantastic video as always! I'm in awe of your talent 👏👏🫶🏻
The funny thing is it's actually... extra old hair? I just haven't had time to go get it cut recently, I need to because it's driving me nuts lol. Thank you so much, always so happy to see you pop up in the comments as well haha~
Such a beautiful Dream House! And thanks for your wonderful singing! 😊
Ahhh well I'm so honored you thought so, thank you as always! Truthfully I am pretty happy living anywhere, but a house like this would be such a dream~
Beautiful house, maybe one day you'll get your dream house. Your house could diffidently need a back yard, have a great day.
Thank you so much! Truly so long as I have A home to live in, I'll be happy! Totally, gotta have at least a tiny yard to get all that good nature footage in haha~
The behind the scenes and making of of the beauty shoots is suprisingly my favorite part
That's seriously so cool to hear, I love talking about the process so much! Never sure if people are gonna be into it, so thank you for saying that 💜
This is so cool, D. I hope that you get a full-scale dreamhouse one day! You deserve it. Thanks so much for the mention. I love seeing you use the mask in Davinci! Those night scenes of yours are always my favorite ones too. Very cool build and a beautifully relaxing video. The dance moves were unexpected but greatly appreciated. Nice work!
Ahhh well thank you so much, I really will be grateful to have any house one day, but something like this would be a dream~ Of course! Love your videos, gotta mention them haha! Really glad to hear you like the night shots as well, shooting those ones is such a blast. Thank you thank you as always, your comments never fail to motivate me!
Very cute. You did a great job.🩷🌻
Thank you so much! Now I just gotta figure out a way to shrink down and live in it haha!
@@MechanicalFiend I am going to build me a house. And maybe I can put it next to yours and we can be neighbors. When you figure out how we can shrink yourself. Your home is so nice and cute. I just had a thought we can go to Hollywood and find Honey I shrink the kids machine. Fun 😊 fun.😂
How is the hand feeling? You did a great job on the interior of your new place and on the mini-dream house too. Since I now know those are the style you like, have you ever had a chance to tour houses from that period? I ask as I grew up in Memphis, TN, and there are several period houses that aren't just still standing and taken care of, but since they are also part of the museum system, you can tour them and see what the furniture looked like and how the decorations were. It wouldn't be the whole dream, but it would give you a tangible part of it. I hope you have a wonder filled weekend, Madam Fiend!
It's all good now thankfully! Will probably have scars, but so long as the pain and swelling is gone, I'm happy! Ahhh thank you so much, it was a blast to work on designing this. Yes! I have been around several Victorian homes and a castle from that era in various places I've lived. I'm actually visiting another one this month too! They are always just so beautiful and bring all the joy! Even if I never live in one, it's all good-there are always opportunities to see them~ Hope you had a nice weekend and a great week as well!
So. Much. Cutting! You are so patient.
I love how it turned out. My favorite part is the ⭐ & 🌙 Easter eggs
My dream home would be open and sunny with space to play cards & board games with my friends and a big craft room
Yeahhhh too much cutting tbh, those windows really killed me! Thank you so much, super glad you could enjoy it! Oh your dream home just sounds so lovely, open light space and a craft room? Truly what more do you need?
I made a four story tower with mulitple windows on each floor, and each window was a different design. I feel your window pain. 🤣
Ooof yeah I can only imagine for four stories.... but that sounds so awesome! It's a love hate relationship with the windows. Definitely sounds like a project that would be up my alley haha~
Soo cute!! I definitely relate to doing things in the wrong order, and making more work for myself! In 2011-16, I lived in my car in Hawaii, and then rented rooms from people. I started building little houses & buildings, because that was all I had space for. Then in 2017, I inherited a beautiful house from my mother. I never thought I would have a house of my own like that!! So, keep dreaming! ❤
Sometimes as much as you plan, you really can't predict what order will be the best to do things in. It really is funny how life ends up working out, often in ways we never expect! We never know where we'll find ourselves one day, which is totally why it's always worth it to have dreams~
As always, it's all the tiny details that bring your projects to life. Hot glue flower pots...nifty.
If you want to try a different method for making the scalloped shingles, use your hole punch to make a boatload of confetti, then glue the disks to strips. Overlap the strips at half the height of the disks, shifted over half a disk, and voila! I think. I haven't done it but it works in my head. (Or you could glue all the disks to a sheet so you don't risk any gaps in coverage.)
To be honest I've actually made other things where I punched out a bunch of pieces with the hole punch and it was a lot harder on my hands than cutting the strips. The impact really goes to the wrists when you use the hole punch. Would probably work well if it was easier on the hands though!
@@MechanicalFiend True true. I'm more used to tools made for scrapbookers. I think they're less rigid. So really...you need a minion.
You did such a great job the amount of detail is absolutely amazing
Ahhhh well thank you thank you so much! I have some things I would love to go back and change, but that just means we're learning along the way, which is always a good thing~
At first I was kind of sad that you won't build something that's modeled after something I'll recognize, since that's usually what wows me most. But then I kept watching and those pictures in the end (especially the night ones :D) really won me over! It looks awesome and I kind of started dreaming about living there myself :)
Ahhh well I really do love working on original projects sometimes, so thank you for giving it a chance regardless! So happy to hear you could enjoy it, shooting all the final shots of this was such a blast~
Beautiful! Your own Purple Palace 😊 Victorian style houses are some of the best. Great work!
Ahhhh a purple palace, yes! I love that! Preferably without the world of the other mother though hahaha. Thank you so much~
This is fantastic! Great job!
Thank you so much my friend! So happy you could enjoy~
your dream house? now it is MY dream house. this was such a cute build ♥
Hahahaha I am honored you liked it so much in that case! Really happy you thought so 💜
Loved this project and the final shots❤ Thank you for walking through how you did all of that. I think my dream home would be an old Victorian as well, but in an ugly avocado green lol! I think I have made a career out of making houses I wish I could live in but never will be able to😄
Thank you so much! It's always the most fun to make little versions of dream places to live- if only it would be that easy in actual size! I would be so down to live in your captain's quarters project or have the beetle juice snake railing you made recently in a house haha💜
I am still watching (and loving every second of the "why so many windows?" (I love/hate/love windows) conflict.
But I have to hit pause to comment: libraries! also, BOOKS and a purple Victorian house! May I recommend Ann Aguirre's "The Only Purple House in Town" if you like whimsy, queer acceptance, magic and romance?
(I'm going to link to my review in a reply, in case it's inappropriate to do so here, I can delete it if you want.)
Ohhhhh that sounds quite wonderful, I'll have to look it up! Not gonna lie, my to-read list is so long right now that it might be years until I get around to it haha, but definitely sounds like something up my alley! Thank you so much for the recommendation~ (Also, I do believe I allow links, but youtube still deletes them a lot of the time... so I'm afraid it might get lost to the void unfortunately)
@@MechanicalFiend Yes, I tried to leave the link twice and the comments never made it, so it seems it's a thing.
It looks like a gingerbread house to me... in the best way! I started making single rooms, dollhouse style and don't know how I'll unite them into one building yet 😊
Gingerbread house is exactly what I was going for! Ooo that sounds like quite the undertaking, I can imagine it would be a challenge to make them into one building. So cool, wish you luck with it!
Amazing build! And shout-out to public libraries! 👏
Thank you so much, super happy you could enjoy it! And of course the libraries, genuinely one of my favorite places to go~
Nice! I love the painted lady houses and occasionally look through the books I have about them. Unfortunately I'm looking to downsize and not going bigger. Also I wouldn't be able to keep up the size of a Victorian house without help. I hope that your dream of living in a house, like your miniature comes true.
Totally understand that, to be honest I also don't know if I would want a house quite as big as many Victorians, but gotta love the look of them haha! Ahhh well thank you so much, I'll be quite happy with any house one day, but this would certainly be a dream~
This reminds me of the many, many hours I spend building victorian houses with those wrap-around porches in the sims
Oooooo yes, of course gotta make dream sim houses! I am sure they were all lovely!
Such a great build and relaxing video again! My dream home is a tiny house, so that would be way more easy to build in miniature. Or was, because I already made it. :)
Waiiiiiit did you make a tiny tiny house? That's the best thing I've heard all day, I love it! And thank you so much for the kind words, always happy to hear you can enjoy! Also, hope you don't mind me saying, but really hope your dog has been doing ok 💜
@@MechanicalFiend Thanks, my dog is ok! Could be better, could be worse. Her mood is pretty good though!
I'll show you the tiny tiny house on discord. :)
Freaking love your little house 😊 I really enjoy watching TH-cam videos ❤
So glad you could enjoy it, thank you for giving them a watch and spending a little crafting time with me 💜
I love it!
The house is so ambitious and exciting! I love how you can imagine so many ways to use the materials. I'm gonna watch this again and try and pick up more hints for future projects.
Thank you for sharing your process!
Oh.- and yarn still intimidates me. You make it look so much easier than my experiences with yarn. 😀
Thank you so much, as always! It was such a fun time designing it. Still a little iffy about the thick yarn trim, but that's alright. So long as you're using yarn with some kind of PVA glue, it seems to be pretty ok to work with because you can reposition it super easily!
The serotonin I get when I get a mf notification!!! Youre so creative!
The serotonin I get from reading your comments! Haha you're too kind, so happy you can enjoy the videos~
Always nice to see someone enjoy crafting.
Of course! There is a great deal of joy to find in many things, but crafting is certainly a big one of them~
Watching you make any craft specifically tailored to your own interests is so sweet and rewarding---it's really the best feeling as a crafter! Also love the musical interludes you drop in here and there in the video, really feels like I'm vibing with the work too lol
Honestly every single craft I make is kinda tailored toward my interests haha, could never work on one that wasn't something I was excited about. Totally, gotta make the stuff you're passionate about! And so happy to hear it! I try to just show the process as it is as much as possible, which always always includes music~
you singing alone in your craft room could be new lofi nonstop radio :-)
Ooof I think it would get quite annoying quite fast, but will admit that's pretty much how it is when I'm crafting... nonstop. It's probably best I'm alone in my room because I think it would drive anyone nuts after a while hahaha!
The Neverending Story😂 So. True! So glad to see another video. You keep doing you✌️🖖
Edit- Just wanna throw out there that egg cartons (the paper kind, not styrofoam) are great for texture! A Square to Spare had a great video for how to do a paver patio (now I forgot what it's called; guess I'll be back again, lol). I did it for a Christmas Village, and it came out great! I was thinking in terms of your stepping stones (nothing wrong with them, just thought you'd enjoy more textures). I love your beautiful little house😍
I found the video you're talking about and that does look super cool! I'll keep that in mind for next time, what a great texture for stones! Honestly it is pretty much what I did to these since I put papier mache over them, but using that material itself would take away that step, which is even better haha! Thanks so much for the suggestion~
@@MechanicalFiend You're very welcome! I was so impressed when I used the egg carton (must be other stuff that is that material). Especially since I'm not that good, lol! Your things are so beautiful, and I love textures. I figured you could use another texture🤗✌️
I mean I like my house but it would be a literal dream to live in a beautiful Victorian house. You did an absolutely amazing job with this project it’s so beautiful, honestly watching your videos are always a risk because it inspires me to want to try and make something in a similar way and my adhd hyper focus will probably make me add more details than necessary but I low key kinda want to build my own dream house now
Yes! Having a house period is the dream, but one as beautiful as this would be beyond imagination. Thank you so much, of course always so happy to hear you could enjoy! Hahaha apologies for the temptation, but if you build your own little dream house, I would love to see it~
I wish I knew you IRL. You seem so nice. If I was ever able to move into a house, I'd want an A-frame cabin in the woods, in some mountains. The house would be like 3-4 bedrooms, a few bathrooms, and it must have a deep dark basement that I'd sleep in. I'd want a detached garage or barn kind of place, for all my toys.
Ahhh well that is very kind, tbh I think I actually can come off quite cold in real life because I'm really shy. That's super nice of you to say though! Oooo a cabin in the mountains sounds lovely! I'm sure you'd be able to have an amazing view as well depending on where it was~
This looks so lovely. And the orange tint on the lights was a perfect idea. Thanks for sharing your amazing house. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🌻
The warm lights definitely fit the coziness factor better! Thank you so much for all the kind words, as always- glad you could enjoy it!
Love it! 💛✨ it’s wonderfully detailed. Well done 🙌
Thank you so much! Definitely such a fun project to design and work on, really happy you liked it 💜
It's always nice to see you and the little worlds that you create.
I hope you get your real-life dream home someday.
Though any house that is filled with love and happiness can be a dream home.
You have it absolutely right, any house can be transformed into a place that brings happiness. Thank you as always for your super kind words and for giving the videos a watch! So glad you could enjoy 💜
This video was pure perfection! And yes support your local libraries!!!
Ahhh well that is too kind, so glad you could enjoy it! Yes! The library is one of my absolute favorite places to go~
really happy to see this pop up in my feed today!!! I love your builds and this is adorable! I actually lived in a house like this and nothing is straight and there were definitely gaps in the lean to green house :D
So glad you could enjoy it, next time around it definitely shouldn't take as long since there won't be a move in between~ Yeahhh I love a lot of things about old homes, but man do they come with a lot of problems often too. I also lived in an old house (not a Victorian one though) recently and all the floors were completely out of level, which I must admit was quite inconvenient lol
I love your use of found items to keep things as low cost as possible, and the behind the scenes of how you shoot the minis has really helpful information.
Expressing your talent and authenticity with this project was a step toward manifesting your dream house - you’ll have your Victorian house one day. Thanks for sharing, the result was super charming.
So long as I can maybe have A house one day, I'm happy! Even having this little miniature dream house is enough for me haha! Thank you for giving it a watch, super happy you could enjoy~
I do miniature wargaming, and when i do bases or terrain/buildings, its usually made from alot of materials bought from the hobby shop, but im always amazed at how you make everything from scratch, all the details that go into your builds all made from hand and it all looks so well when done :D
Yes, many of the people I watch do wargaming stuff too, I love it! The materials from a hobby shop are honestly great too and can really help speed up the process a lot- time is usually the cost of making everything from scratch haha. But let's be honest- it's all fun so long as you're making something! Ahhh just thank you so much for all the kind words my friend~
Such a wonderful thumbnail!
And, a fantastic video, as always! 💖👍
I love all the details! 🌻🦋
I think the dance break is wonderful 🎉
Ahhh well thank you so much, always always happy to hear you can enjoy~ Hahaha yes! Gotta have a dance break every once in a while, makes the whole process that much more fun!
I spend time each day listening to your voice and watching your builds turn into something filled with magic.
I can’t tell you how much I love the quirky, perfect imperfections of your art. You inspire me to the moon!!!
Not that I'd ever have the patience to try something like that, but your creativity is an inspiration.
So smol and precious! I love it!
Hahaha of course it's gotta be tiny! So happy you liked it, thank you 💜
Your creativity never ceases to amaze me. Thank you for making my afternoon brighter! I look forward to your next project, whatever it might be.
Ahhh you're too kind, thank you for making my night brighter! The next project is in the works, but it's been quite a tricky build so far even if it's not as complicated of a project~
I love your content.
I made a promise to myself to only subscribe to people id watch each new video they put out. And you're one of those 4. Every upload is a treat. The amount of effort you put into your craft is always amazing and appreciated. You inspire me to be myself and seeing you make such awesome things makes me wanna make awesome things too. You just shine soo bright, thank you for all that you do!
Oh my goodness, are you trying to make me cry here? Hahaha well my friend I am completely honored to be one of the four, and hearing all that... ahh I just can't even tell you how much that means. Really hope you pursue the things that make you excited and create what you are inspired to- the world always needs more people making things 💜
Definitley very cute 😊
Ahhh well thank you so much, really happy you thought so 💜
@@MechanicalFiend You're very welcome 😀
watching and listening is like listening to a family member who is so talented.
Ahhh well that is so comforting to hear, I'm honored! Glad you could enjoy, as always my friend~
👏👏👏👏 so cute! Great job.
Thank you so much! Glad you could enjoy it~
Gorgeous. You do fantastic, tedious work. And I love your love of vibrant colors. That is my style also. I make miniature room boxes and dioramas myself. I am a new subscriber. Can't wait to take the time to see all your postings.👋
Yes! Another vibrant color fan! Haha they really just bring so much joy~ That's so awesome! If you ever want to send any of your projects my way, totally do, I'd love to see them 💜
This is so cool! I love a good 💫asthetic💫 victorian house! Also, I definitely remember those dot candies, I think I ate more paper than sugar when I had them though…
Thank you so much, really glad you could enjoy, as always! Hahaha that doesn't surprise me! I actually don't think I ever had them, but they were always a staple at the movie theater from what I can remember.
What a charming house! I hope you get a big one some day. :) I love the purple and green, and of course, the moon additions. And although I do not "plant", my favorite part is the greenhouse.
If I can have a house period, I'll be beyond happy! Yes! Gotta pack in all the things you love if it's gonna be a dream house. I think the greenhouse is my favorite part as well... guess I gotta start learning about gardening in preparation?
Its cute and beautiful
Ahhh so so happy to hear you thought so, thank you!
This was fun to watch and I learned a few tips on how to make some grass without the artificial things they sell. I hope I can make it work hehe glad to see a new vid, take your time on the uploads as the results are always worth it
There's tons of really cool ways to make grass textures with different materials, just gotta try some different stuff out! So glad it could maybe be helpful and you could enjoy! Really appreciate you saying that so much, this next one shouldn't be quite as long since I'm finally settled in after the move~
I'm impressed by your creative approach to crafting! Utilizing materials you already have for your projects is a clever way to go about it. I recently made peter griffin's house as well
Often working under certain restraints and challenging yourself to use a set group of materials can lead to more creative thinking and problem solving! That's one of the reasons I love it so much! Just saw your Peter Griffin's house as well- so good! Thank you for sharing it with me~
@@MechanicalFiend Thank you so much Devon! ❤️
I LOVE IT!!! Genius! I'm building some houses right now. I can't wait to do a Victorian but I'm starting out smaller cause they are so intimidating but I would love to get a life size one also!!! The potential!!!!! The wood work!!!! The architecture in general!!! SWOON! Thanks for making us a video!
That's so awesome! I totally want to see your houses when they're done if you want to share! Yes! The Victorian houses are so beautiful in all the tiny little intricate details. Love it all so much 💜 Definitely a challenge to build, even in miniature though~
@@MechanicalFiend absolutely will share!! Thanks!!
I love your videos so much, in every single aspect of it. This house is the cutest thing ever, I love how much detail your builds have and I absolutely love the bit at the end where you go throught the editing proccess.
Ahhhh stop! That's all too nice, thank you so much for all the kind words as always! This one was so much fun to design as it's something really close to my heart. And it makes me so happy to hear that you enjoy the editing pieces too, I love talking about the process and am never sure if it'll be interesting, so... thank you for saying that!
I love the shots at the end ! the music, filming, and everything gave an amazing vibe !
Ahhh that makes me the happiest to hear, thank you 💜 I love filming and putting the final shots together soooo much~
love this!! i too have always wanted to live in a victorian house (pink) 😍 as always am so impressed with your creativity, the sponge plants!? *chef kiss* i love how the reveal scene reminded me of beetlejuice! also the necklace you wore is stuunniinng ☺️
There's this one pink Victorian house somewhere that I lived and every time I passed it, it made me so happy! Just so beautiful! Ahh thank you for all the super kind words, as always~ Makes me the happiest that you can enjoy 💜
you always put so much effort into your videos!!! Im currently in college studying production design and a big part of that is making miniatures!! its so much fun and i love seeing all your techniques. I cant wait for your next video!
Wooooooah yes! That's so cool you're studying production design! I studied film and ended up doing a lot of production design as well, but not too much on the miniature side of it. Might be biased, but you chose a great topic of study haha! Hope you are enjoying it and so happy to hear you can enjoy the videos~
LOVE!!! You made my dream home too! I’ll dream until the end of time about living in a Victorian. Thank you for this…such beautiful work as always 😊
Hahaha so happy to hear someone else shares in the dream! Maybe we will find ourselves in them one day! Thank you so much for all the super kind words my friend~
I love the greenhouse you did!! My dream house would also definitely have something like it (although I'd maybe die due to the brazilian sun)
Yessss! If only greenhouses were more common on houses, they are so beautiful (even if you don't grow anything in them tbh haha)!
I love this! I have a 1:24 scale victorian dollhouse in the same colour palette as yours minus the seafoam green.
That sounds so lovely, the purple on Victorian houses is just so perfect for some reason!
Good to see new content. This is a wonderful little build. Not sure if you are familiar with Portland, OR but they call some of their houses "painted ladies" and they remind me of Victorian houses.
Took a while this time with the move! Shouldn't be as long next time! Thank you so much, glad you could enjoy it~ I hadn't heard of them before, but quite a few people mentioned them. Of course I had to look it up- so cool!
Tip for the roofs of the towers, but maybe you thought about it yourself already, just make one piece. So actually what you did now, but then al the rectangles connected and at the end you can make a little piece to glue the two ends together to get that octagon shape.
Totally that would make it a lot easier, but I do usually work with paperboard for the base structure because it's a bit thicker and stronger... which also means that it doesn't fold and form into shapes as well as one piece. To get the crisp edges you kinda have to cut it, but that would work great for something like cardstock!
@@MechanicalFiend Does it also not work when you cut sharp lines into the paperboard?
Well, I think you did a great job anyhow, so that's the important part :D
all looks so good and good luck with your planning.
Thank you so much my friend! Appreciate the kind words so much~
So cute!! I would totally live there!
Ahhh well that is truly the biggest compliment, so happy you liked it!
Great video, as always. Your videos are always so comfortable and entertaining. Thanks for sharing it all with us. I hope you get your dream house some day. I’ll fly up and help you paint it.
Thanks for giving it a watch, as always! Ahhh that's really just the best thing to hear, glad you could enjoy it 💜 It might be many years from now, but I'll be calling you up to help paint one day hopefully haha~
@@MechanicalFiend It’s a deal. 😉
So much easier to clean and maintain!💜
You are so right, this one is so low maintenance!
This is so, so cool. Recently I made my first ever miniature creation, inspired of course by all of yours. I made a mini library as a book end for a Christmas present, and whilst it's certainly a work in progress and I have alot to learn, it was so much fun to make! Thank you for posting videos, they always inspire me to create something :)
( and thank you for captioning them!! )
You are so multi-talented, I enjoy watching and listening to you while you painstakingly create your miniatures. Thanks for introducing me to Howl’s Moving Castle, I had only known of it because of the Merry Go Round song being a song I play on BeatSaber….searching on TH-cam about that song I found your lovely channel! Are you enjoying your new real-life home?
Ahhh you're too kind, thank you so much for saying that! That's so awesome that you found Howl's Moving Castle, it's such a wonderful little film (and book series)! Hope you have been enjoying it~ Yes! I absolutely love the new house, I am super lucky to have a lot more space to film now, which is fantastic 💜
I like that you talk about crafting, things that inspire you as well as how you film and edit, very interesting, thank you, it also helps me be creative again 💜
(oh and i love the vibes of your work and channel ^^ !!)
I do own a house but its definitely not my dream house. This turned out amazing! I hate windows, try replacing 3 foot by 4 foot window on the second story. Very nerve wracking. And hard! And you have a very lovely singing voice!😊
Well hey, any house at all is great in my books! Thank you so much for all the super kind words! It was a fun build and indeed, making miniature windows is certainly much easier than that so I probably shouldn't complain haha~
Loved the landscape trick! And the whole video, hahaha
candy buttons - if you enjoy consuming a lot of paper, this is the treat for YOU
You know the funny thing is that I don't believe I've ever even had them, but they used to be a staple at the movie theater... probably best not to trust a candy that could be mistaken for a craft project?
♥@@MechanicalFiend they're basically the candy equivalent of eating crabs - it's a lot of work and you'll never get full on them
Yet again your amazing and your patience is unreal ! My favourite part is the greenhouse! Always look forward to your videos when I see a new one pop up ! Great work ! :)
Ahhh my friend you are always too kind, thank you so much! I think the greenhouse is my favorite bit as well, looks like I gotta start learning some gardening haha~
Yes, gingerbread house is exactly the direction I was heading! Oooo that sounds awesome, I can imagine that would end up being quite a big project combined in one building. So cool~
You’re such a great artist. I’d live there. My dream house would be what it is now but with more space. Lol
Have you heard of Bentley House minis? She does sort of like you to make houses. She is making beetlejuice house now.
It’s great to read too. Since the end of 2020 I’ve been reading every day for 30 to 60 minutes. It works out to a book a month. What do you like to read?
Hahaha well at least you've got a piece of your dream house as it stands! Yes, of course! I love her channel very much, have learned so many little things from her videos.
That's awesome! I just try to read when I can, which also usually works out to about a book a month. I read a bit of everything, but I'd say my favorite genres are fantasy and sci-fi~
Nice one 🙂 You and your projects have ben missed
Thank you so much! Hopefully won't be as long this time around since I'm mostly settled in after the move now~
Your house is a real delight ❤
My friend you are the real delight 💜 So happy you thought so~
