Southern Gothic Dollhouse

So insanely flattered by @atlasobscura ’s recent feature of the dollhouse. I’ve been such a huge fan of theirs for years (I own all of their books, and literally plan all of my travel bumblings around their POIs). Thank you so much, Roxanne, for taking the time to detail it so genuinely. It is the best reflection I’ve ever read of what we are all exploring together 🖤 If y’all are curious about what she wrote, I included a link via the link in my bio xo (and keep a lookout for some of your names, tons of y’all who have contributed are in there!) . . . #atlasobscura #dollhouse #haunteddollhouse #artist #artdaily #artoftheday #art #artistsoninstagram #artlover #instaart #artsy #miniature #miniatures #halloween #spooky #spookyseason #diorama #miniaturist #artreview #review #darkart #horrorart #horroraddict #horrorartist #horrorfan #horrorlitchallenge #booklover

Hello, friends :) The biggest question I’m asked is “where do I start?” from folks who are considering making a dollhouse for the first time, and I empathize with that so hard because I was there really not that long ago myself 🖤 I pulled these bits from a story highlight I made a little while ago, but since I’m a highlight hoarder it’s just naturally gonna get lost in the mire after a while, so I made this for y’all to bookmark :) Update: don’t forget TWEEZERS! I’m currently collecting my thoughts around an easy peasy starter guide I can make for folks looking for a comprehensive way to dive in - if you’re seeing this and that is *you*, feel free to comment your questions below and I’ll answer them here (and roll them into the guide soon). Remember to check the link in my bio, LOADS of stuff to explore there. I’m so stoked for those of you who are considering making a dollhouse (or simply getting into miniatures) for the first time 🖤 My door is always open, I’m happy to help guide where I can. Hugs!

Meet Pumpkin, our new pug baby 🖤🎃 Her likes are belly tickles, biting Pickles’ tail and snoozing. Her dislikes are being up high, being kinda chilly and not being able to bite Pickles’ tail. Welcome to the family, little one. . . . #pug #pugpuppy #puppy #pumpkin #puglove #puglover #pugnation #puglovers #pugworld #pugoftheday #pugmania #ilovemypug #pugclub #pugs #pugpuppies #pugdog #pugloversclub #puglife #puppies #puppylove #puppiesofinstagram #pupper #puppygram #instapuppy

I finally made it to the Thorne Rooms at the Art Institute of Chicago. It’s been a dream of mine to see these in person, and my god. I need to stop messing around and get back to WORK 😂 So inspirational. Just absolutely incredible, I highly recommend the visit. I posted a TON about these in my stories and will save it to my highlights entitled “Thorne Rooms” if you’re keen to see more 🖤 Have any of y’all been? What was your favorite room? . . . #miniature #miniatures #12thscale #thorne #thornerooms #artinstituteofchicago #art #smallart #tiny #miniatureroom #diorama #museum #artwork #dollhouse #dollhouses #mini #minis #beautiful #artoftheday #artofinstagram

✨@opossum_lunch_lady ✨I made an account for my recent hyperfixation because pet loss grief is weird and making haute cuisine for the baby opossums in my backyard is *gettin me through it* 🤙🏻🖤

Baby Books likes to watch me art and I’m inching closer to becoming the swamp witch of my dreams 😂 . . . #opossum #babyopossum #babyanimal #babyanimals #art #artist #southerngothic #swampwitch #animallovers #animallove #animallover

This quote has been popping up a LOT in my daily bumblings lately, and I wanted to stick it here as a little reminder for us introverted artists who enjoy riding the lightning every once and a while 😂✌🏻#art #quoteoftheday #artistsupport #artists

@art_hubert_lengdorfer is accepting pre-orders for these *gorgeous* Charmed doors, DM him for details 🖤 Can be both wall mounted like a cuckoo clock and perchable on your shelf. And they light up! Worldwide shipping x He and I have been chatting doors, bc I think he should 💯 make a series of famous ones. I love the idea of filling an entryway with a wall of em 🥰 We talked Coraline, Home Alone (with all the fun booby traps), Harry Potter common room doors, etc. What famous door would you like to see? . . . #miniature #charmed #charmedshow #mini #tinydoor #door #tinyhouse #porch #miniatureart #art #architecture #artwork #artoftheday #artistsoninstagram #artcollector #arts #artcurator
