So go ahead and raise your score again because no matter what your mini specialty is, it amazes the rest of us!
My favorite part of mini-making is taking a life-sized item and using it as a mini element. I like the look of astonishment in the eyes of the viewer when the item is revealed! In my opinion, steampunked items would tip the scale of whimsicalness because they have all the components: imagination, amusement and unpredictability. Even just using bright colors or crazy patterns can turn ordinary items into real attention grabbers.
