Let Me Introduce You To The Wonderful World Of Miniatures

Hi all, my name is Fiona Jennings and I'm generally followed on Youtube for my Crafty Teachings, under the name of jennings644. For those of you that know me, know I have a passion for all things Miniature and now I want to share my passion with you all here! 

The Old Country Cottage

There, I share how to create many crafty projects from learning how to create stunning flowers (I have over 400 videos on these alone!), how to create almost everything you can think of, various techniques, saving you £'s, how to create old wood, wood staining the old fashion way etc. Lots of hints and tips to suit all...

But, my true love in life are Miniatures. When I was about 9yrs old, my late father made me a miniature TV studio as a Christmas gift, we didn't have money to buy things like toys and all that, what we had, was all handmade, including our clothes! I loved it, because everything moved, he'd even made a moving microphone/camera unit on wheels, it was such fun to play with and I kept it for years after. The majority of it was made from old wood and everyday household goods that he could get his hands on and alter. The love of miniatures has stayed with me since then and when I created my first miniature, I thought of how proud my father would have been to see that his skills had been passed down to me, though I have my own ideas too lol.

When I make a miniature, I don't just open a packet and take something out to add to a bought miniature room, I build it all by hand and take you through the process of 'HOW TO' do it all from scratch. This Blog is all about my creations over many years, I really have enjoyed creating all the rooms not to mention the hundreds of miniatures themselves to furnish them.

If you're thinking of starting a miniature, and you don't quite know how or where to start, then please visit my Youtube channel - jennings644 and type in the description bar Miniatures. I must say though, its very addictive but the enjoyment in creating your own miniatures gives you so much pride and self esteem. Some have over 10 videos for each project like the Caravan, as I really do make everything by hand and therefore you too, can do the same by following my instructions step by step and changing things as you go along to suit your taste etc!
