Small Scale Miniatures
Page 55
Mariella Vitalle of Muffa Miniatures crochets adorable items for all occasions, but this breathtaking tiny pumpkin-headed sweetie is crocheted measuring only 28mm tall. He really brings out the sweeter side of Halloween.
For Mariella, the most frightening aspect of working smaller is wondering if it's not quite small enough. Marveling at her miniatures, I just don't think she has anything to worry about!
Don't let your sense of humor die this Halloween. This 144 scale Haunted Tower created by Pat Carlson of Pat Carlson Miniatures has the funniest gravestones with sayings like "I told you I was sick," "Elvis was here" and "I'm with stupid" pointing to another gravestone that says "Stupid".
Even the ghouls need to get their party on - don't let the spooky exterior of the tower fool you. These ghouls are rocking! On the inside there is a Pumpkin Carving Contest going on the first floor, ghosts dancing to music from the haunted juke box on the second floor and even tiny bats pole dancing on the top floor.
A haunting dilemma among many micro miniaturists is the perils of floors and carpet! Incredibly tiny items that can barely be seen by
