Today we are crossing the Atlantic, all the way to the UK, to admire all the pretty dollhouse accessories by "Lennie's Tiny World" 🙂
As mentioned in a previous blog post, I have been reaching out to some more fantastic miniature artists worldwide, because I thought it was time to also have some more small miniature sellers out there in the spotlights.
Let's just dive straight into Lennie's tiny world today, are you with me?
But First, Who Is Lennie from Lennie's Tiny World?
To know a little bit more about Lennie and her wonderful dollhouse accessories, we first got in touch through my Facebook group, I think it was. 🙂
She is from Norwich, the United Kingdom, and is on Etsy since 2020.
So here's her little story, in her own words:
" Lennie has always wanted to build dolls' houses when she was a little girl but only got the opportunity now that she's an adult.
She loves creating tiny things. When she was a little girl, she would cut out boxes and turn them into tiny houses and furniture. ( recognizable to me haha )
She did not have her own doll house in her childhood so when her husband gave her a 12th scale dolls house in 2020 as Valentine's present, she was ecstatic.
She has been assembling 24th-scale kits since 2015.
Lennie was welcomed by a warm, caring community on Instagram and she began sharing her handmade creations with friends.
In a short time, she opened her Etsy Shop. Her creations are handmade and she uses Cricut for precision cutting at times.
Most of what she makes in her shop are similar minis she also has in her own dolls' houses for her miniature scenes.
A registered nurse by profession, Lennie makes minis in her spare time.
She now has a few dolls' houses, both 12th and 24th scale which she regularly gives new decorations and 'facelifts'.
She also has a dollhouse accessories and miniature bag shop, a jewelry shop and a miniature replica of her son's bedroom, and a number of room boxes. "
Lennies Miniature Influences
Lennie is influenced by real-life influencers, her followers (have you seen my blog post on Instagram influencers yet?), and her childhood memories.
She has been imagining tiny things ever since she could remember. The most talented artists out there inspire her very much.
Which are the crafting materials that she uses and more.
Lennie is a self-taught miniature artist who does research, gets the books that she needs, and experiments with materials, while sometimes waisting some materials on trial and error sessions 🙂 (again, recognizable Lennie! haha)
She mainly uses wood, cardstock, fabric, faux leather, and clay, whatever works.
