In the enchanting world of miniatures, Joey Eavey has carved out a special place with her one-of-a-kind (OOAK) dollhouse creations.
Located at Burien, WA, Joey rediscovered her childhood passion for miniatures during the global pandemic—a time when many of us turned to creative outlets for comfort and connection.
With two young children and a demanding full-time job, Joey found solace in the quiet hours after bedtime, where her intricate miniatures took shape.
From Childhood Dreams to Artisan Creations
Joey’s journey into miniatures began long before COVID-19. Her grandpa built her first dollhouse in the 1980s, igniting a lifelong love for tiny furniture and décor.
Even as a child, Joey was resourceful, creating tiny bedspreads and curtains from fabric scraps.
However, it wasn’t until 2020 that she truly dived back into the miniature world, building her first house as an adult.
Now on house number six, Joey’s passion has only grown stronger, leading her to open her Etsy store, FabulousMiniFinds, where she shares her exquisite creations with fellow enthusiasts.
Crafting with a Personal Touch
Initially driven by the desire to create items she couldn’t afford to buy, Joey began experimenting with furniture kits.
These kits were her gateway into understanding miniature construction.
Today, her repertoire includes a wide range of OOAK (One of a Kind) items, from delicate coffee tables made from popsicle sticks to beautiful couches and chairs.
Each piece Joey creates is unique, ensuring that no two miniatures are exactly alike—a hallmark of her artisan craftsmanship.
Joey’s workshop is a treasure trove of materials—scrap wood, dowels, craft sticks, and a large fabric collection.
She enjoys sourcing fun prints from Spoonflower and other sites, especially during sales.
Joey also collects fine trims and ribbons, which she finds at mini shows or on sale, using them to add intricate details to her creations.
In addition to wood and fabric, she frequently incorporates foam board, fake flowers, beads, coffee filters, and computer paper into her projects.
Her tools of the trade include trusty scissors, miter shears, and tweezers, essential for bringing her tiny visions to life.
Inspiration and Community
The miniature world is vibrant, and Joey finds inspiration from fellow artisans.
One of her early influences was MiniaturesbyMoon, whose construction techniques and fabric choices left a lasting impression.
Joey also admires talented flower makers like Tanya Chilton, Mary Kinloch, and Sandra Gurney Turner, who inspire her work on the yard of her Willowcrest dollhouse.
Her current obsession? The delicate, finely scaled furniture kits from Castle Crafts, and I noticed that the brand even mentioned her on their site!
But for Joey, it’s not just about creating—it’s about connecting as well. She’s an active member of several Facebook miniature groups, where she shares her latest projects and seeks inspiration from others.
The Greenleaf forums are also a wonderful place to learn for her and connect with other makers.
Her passion for miniatures is matched by her love for the community, which she describes as “a very kind, talented bunch of people.”
I agree!
