2020 Q1 ART Challenge: Miniaturize Your Craft!

[gozer (Becca)]

Okay, I found one of the few miniature items I have ever made and entered it. This is so much fun! I can’t wait for the next challenge.

Faerie bed and quilt 1:6 scale - ART 2020 Q1 Challenge Entry

I hope I am doing this right and that this counts for the challenge. I do not normally make miniatures. I love looking at them but they are definitely not in my wheel house. I joined a miniature swap thinking it would help me push myself out of my comfort zone and I attempted to make several paper crafted items and failed. So, I turned to sewing since I feel more confident in that. [bed_outside] This was made in 1:6 scale. I ended up having a lot of fun making it. I scaled the bed to be a Quee…

I am loving that you guys are working both in and out of your comfort zones…

It is so fun to see miniatures of things you do well big sized!

[Reinikka]

I know what I’m going to make!!! I’m so excited for the challenge to get me motivated! Now I just need to make the space and find the time…

I love seeing all the ideas percolate!

[Mountains_and_Clouds (SaRa :) [they/her])]

Yes! The contest category is still completely empty (and there are a couple other categories that appear to be running contests)…

[MistressJennie (Moderator - Jennie - she/her)]

The Contests category is for future site-wide and sponsored contests, while this is specifically an Art board challenge. But I totally get how you might go to the Shenanigans board looking for such things. So I’ve created a list, pinned to the top of the Contests board, with current individual board challenges. I’ll keep it updated as some challenges end, and others are started.

A trio of mini assemblage art canvases - - ART 2020 Q1 Challenge Entry

I’ve posted several assemblage canvases lately. This post is my entry to the miniature art challenge. I’ve bought a bunch of mini canvases at the clearance sales at AC Moore. 2"x2" and 3"x3" but decided to see how small I could go. I made an inchie “canvas” by cutting out several 1" squares from cardstock and gluing them together and then taping the edges together with washi to smooth the edges. Then used teeny beads, button, and screws to decorate. [IMG_6250] [IMG_6249] [IMG_6247] […

Tarot cards-2020 Q1 art challenge

I made some tarot cards with modge podge and printed images from a site…i dont remember which one. I did make a box for them that was way more craftier than this as i lined it with fabric and faux leather painted it. Ha. But these cards are so cute!!! And teeney!!!

Question: will the challenge entries be moved to other boards after the contest ends? For instance, if someone made miniature knitting and posted it in the Art category, will it be moved to the Fiber/Textile area?

[PerfectlyBohemian (Probably Bananas)]

No the intention is to highlight the board that the challenge is hosted on. There were no plans to relocate entries afterwards. In this case since they should all be posted under miniatures, they will be in an appropriate board even after the challenge ends.

[PerfectlyBohemian (Probably Bananas)]

I’m loving all the entries, everyone Y’all are doing such an amazing job with your miniaturizing rayguns

[AcadianDriftwood (allons-y)]

I see, so the act of miniaturization turns every craft into art! I like that, thanks!
