So much effort went into completing this video. I’ve never made anything quite this intricate in my entire life. At least, not in miniature. I really hope you guys like it.

Kat, it was so great working with you! I definitely want to collaborate more with you!

Most miniature artists create their products in 1:12 scale. I create mine in 1:24 scale; twice as small! My main goal is to keep the detail in such tiny objects that if you were to look at it in a scene, you can’t tell it’s a miniature.

I upload a new video every Thursday (sometimes Friday), so please be on the lookout for new content! Subscribe if you haven’t, or if you were thinking about doing it~

Please like, comment, and share if it suits you!

I would LOVE to hear any requests you might have! I may not do it anytime soon, but I ALWAYS write down anything I haven’t heard or thought of yet.

    Amazing scene and fountain. I make "still" Koi ponds, so I'm impressed with your ingenuity and guts!!! I am so sorry the rock(s) exploded. I know you were just sick! Beautiful job!

    You are incredibly gifted!!! So talented. What patience. Me, I just want the finished product. I know my limitations.

    Um, just a suggestion, but why go to all that work to make the deer scare thingy out of big blocks of wood when you could just find the right size of REAL bamboo? I've made my own deer scare out of real bamboo in that miniature size for a miniature Zen garden I made a week ago. Just saying…it saves a lot of time and work. ~Janet in Canada

    Have you tried adding some more weigh to the end of the deer scare to make it come back up ? Eg : a small lead shot used for fishing could fit inside. Just a thought. Great project and really inspiring

    Wondeful job! Loved how detailed and how well you explained all the steps. Curious about the names of what drill tools and sanding chizel sp? you use?

    Incredible work! So sorry about "That rock". I can only imagine what was going on in your head when that happened.

    Wouldn't adding a small weight to the Deer Scare help bring it back up? Even a piece of the "ballast rock" glued to the underside might counterbalance it. Just a thought.

    Keep up the great work! And, as I always say … Have a better day!

    Oh i am so delighted by how much detail and research went into this! And the fact that you explain what you’re doing is wonderful, i am super impressed

    This is astonishing! The rock thing hurts my heart cause I used to "bathe" my rock collection as a kid.. lol.

    I love this video! I had an idea and you brought it to life!! I'm going to start working on my miniature right away. Your tips are super helpful, thanks! I love your hand drill, cute tools too! ❤❤❤

    Absolutely beautiful. Your skill and attention to detail is quite extraordinary. Nice to know that even an expert with your skills can still make mistakes.🙏🙏🙏

    Hey! Wonderful work! Do you think I can use thick black plastic for the bottom of the lake? What kind of glue did you use for stones? Thanks
