Six new miniature houses.

I just completed 6 houses over the past 3 months. It averaged about 1 houses completed every 2 weeks. Again each house is made out of thick construction cardboard and or papermache clay or both.

 I worked on all 6 at the same time. While one houses wall bricks were drying I'd work on another. Same as when the paint was crackling, or drying slowly I'd work on another.

Last summer I had spent 3 months 3D printing to create all the architectural details to add some extra character to each house.

Im trying to get ready for the Texas Miniature Showcase in June.

You can see detailed videos of each house house on.my Instagram page. I hope they inspire you to create. Have a wonderful month.

Ever After Cottages 4 Completed

"The White Violet Cottage"
Hi Everyone, I took almost a year off due to working on restoring this 150 year old Victorian house we bought in Illinois.

Plus, I had lost all inspiration to create miniatures. I then attended the Dallas Miniature Show and was re-inspired to create again. In which I loved it so much I plan on selling at next years miniature show there In Dallas. Since it's closer than driving back to Denver the only place that I've sold in public  before. 

I just finished 4 houses working on them at the same time. I was able to complete them in about 14 days for each house. Which I started about 73 days ago and about a few weeks off with a day off here and there.to rest. Again they are made out of thick cardboard and papermache clay for the thick bricks & stucco areas. 

I am starting to post almy of my work now on Instagram it's under-

Have a wonderful month.

McGreggor Castle Cottage

 


                                 

Hi Everyone, It has been almost a year since I have been able to work on creating more miniature houses.  I ended up selling my house in Denver Colorado and ended up buying a 148 year old Victorian house in Jerseyville Illinois.  It took me 6 months to find it on Zillow for something we could afford. But we have spent the past 5 months fixing it up and it is spectacular huge house with an 8 car garage and work shop and a huge office building that I turned into an Art Studio. 

I have been wanted to create a new name for the line of houses I plan on creating from here out and the new name is ( Ever After Cottages ) by Stan Gregg Miniatures. 

This one I call McGreggor Castle Cottage.  It took me the longest to build since I only worked on it in my free time and took about 1 1/2 months and about 80 some hours which I lost count.

I spent 2 days alone creating the landscaping and interior floral arrangements and in the future want to do more floral covered houses.  I liked creating this using $ Store flowers and mini trees and creating ivy vines using twine and glue and green powder to make a more realistic looking tree and vines.  

I hope you like it and it inspires you to create.
