An Amazing Miniature Unboxing + We Start The Miniature Mudlarking Study!

[@carlagiretti2705]

I really wish there was a ‘love’ button because ‘like’ just isn’t enough for the work you ladies do ❤

[@fairyacorn4854]

Thank you for filming yourself and Fleur opening my parcel to you. I tried to make things that you find whilst out larking as well as other things. I was so pleased to see you open your box on video and it brought a tear to my eye. There will be more but not just yet. I loved the wallpaper you made and the little inperfections just added to its beauty. You could always just wipe the stamp pad over the bit you wish to stamp but very lightly. I so enjoyed making the minitures for you. For anyone that wants to know they are made in plaster and painted with watercolour paint and varnished. The little cow creamer I had to drill out after it was cast and the same with the handles on the stoneware flagons and jugs. They are made with much holding of breath and many don't come out of the moulds whole so lots get thrown away. I make the rubber moulds too and that takes a couple of days. Some of the big ink bottles I make in poly clay and then take moulds from those. The little stoneware flagon was bought in a shop years ago as I love stoneware and wanted more so I took a mould of that and made my own. The blue topped on I knocked the handle off drilling it out but thought it looked ok after a tidy up. I shall have to send the next lot packed in stuffing for you so the dolls can benefit from the parcels too. I really enjoyed the video and thank you so much for all the lovely ones you put up for us all to enjoy. I really look forward to watching you every week. Stay safe all and lots of love and wishes.❤❤❤ I shall have to go and watch this video again now.

Such a delight to see a video from you two dear ladies. To me you are friends, altho we have never met. Going thru some challenging times with my husband's health, so this is such a blessing. Thank you for all you both do. I look forward to each new video. God bless your family.

The Bartmann jug is mindblowing,and the tiny pork pie inks make me smile! This is a great video,I could comment on so much! And,it is,if I may say,a beautiful display of such lovely hands. It’s true! You both have the prettiest,most elegant and delicate hands.

😊 thank you

[@cdmikie]

I just need to pass a "well done" to the person that made your gifts! Somehow it was even more exciting to see the pieces in miniature for, than finding bits out in the wild. Also the wallpaper turned out great, the room is off to a wonderful start. See you next week.

[@Julianne955]

Oh my! The handmade miniatures were incredible!!! And perfect! So tiny and detailed and the perfect size for your dolls!

[@theminiatureworldofkitcaboodle]

They really are :)

The wallpaper looks great, and it was never perfect back in the early days. I really love the ribbon between the paper, it fits the look. Also, I love the tiny gifts. I’m just amazed at the tiny world you two have created. Beautifully done!

I’m just AMAZED! The wallpaper is stunning and the tiny gifts from Fairy 🧚🏻‍♀️Acorn are adorable! I can’t imagine how long that took her. ✨🌹 Great craft day! I think someone is very tired! 😴

[@iansuehooper7542]

The design and colour of the wallpaper is eye catching ladies. The choice of that ribbon to cover the joins of the paper was perfect. Those beautiful little objects were just right for the dolls houses; the gobbies(not sure if the spelling is correct) looked great on the carpet.

[@theminiatureworldofkitcaboodle]

Not sure of the correct spelling of Gobbies either :)

[@TorchTaleMiniatures]

Oh my goodness the wallpaper looks amazing and Mel has created some beautiful tiny items for you both. She has a steady hand, imagination and skill…. The bag of marbles and jacks, everything 🥰🥰. 💛🧡🤎

She has a much steadier hand than us haha :)

[@amandabell8827]

Omg, Mel's gifts are amazing! She is so clever to make all those tiny things. I love the study wallpaper, what a fab idea! I think 'stopper printing' is something that will keep my grandchildren entertained so thank you 😀💗 x

Thank you! :)

[@lovelyskull3483]

Love the wallpaper, it looks incredible. Fantastic gifts. Thank you, take care.

[@NolaHarris]

Huff with your warm breath on the stamp before you stamp and it works better. The moisture from your breath helps the stamp. Hope this helps. Hugs Nola

[@sandralane1923]

I like how the two of you work things out. Exactly like I would. The wall paper is perfect for the study. Great going ladies.

[@anniegironne8444]

Who would have thought that vulcanite would be so hard to use as a stamp. You are very patient and it looks amazing. What a precious gift from such a talented person, wow!

[@nickandlaurihyde]

Who would have thought that a vulcanite bottle stopper could be USED like a stamp?! Their vision and creativity knows no bounds! And while watching Kate struggle with the stamping process, I was wondering if she couldn’t somehow hit the stopper with a hammer? But the rubber knob/grip thing is kind of in the way and the hammer wouldn’t work on that. Unless…. Kate would experiment with a plain bottle stopper and take it apart to see if the knob/holder thing could be removed, would that leave a flat solid surface to use as a base for a wooden handle that could be glued onto the stamp for ease of use? I felt so bad for Kate and Fleur’s poor aching hands after that ordeal! I felt your pain! Anyway, I was so amazed and delighted by the little box of handmade ceramic wonders by FairyAcorn, I just sat through the video slack-jawed! What talent!! I’d have surely gone blind, mad or both by trying to create something so tiny and precious!! I’d have to work with tweezers to handle everything because fingers are too cumbersome! But I’m glad I’ve got them! Best wishes, Lauri Hyde

[@lemfam4693]

The wallpaper is wonderful! I just love it and the ribbons that you put in there are the perfect final touch. Those miniatures are amazing! Sooo tiny!

[@theminiatureworldofkitcaboodle]

Thank you so much!

[@michelehood8837]

I love that you ladies are enthusiastic miniaturists. I am a long-time miniaturist, and admire the care that you put into your delightful tableaus. Your creativity turning literal trash into beautiful new items for your dollhouses is amazing! Not only are you recycling in the truest sense of the word, but the pieces you create will become heirlooms for generations of your family - and that is so lovely❤ I also adore your unboxing videos. I love how you admire the old pieces you purchase, and ponder their former lives as much-loved toys. This channel has quickly become one of my favorites on KZbin! Thank you for generously and thoughtfully sharing your hobby with us. With love from Spring Hill, Tennessee in the US❤ PS - If you haven’t seen Queen Mary’s amazing, antique dollhouse at Windsor Castle, you absolutely must! I still remember the thrill of seeing it as a girl in the 1980s.

Hello Lovelies; well Kate I noticed your watch and believe me I have the identical watch. Needs a battery and a cleaning and good as new. I've had it for about 40 years. Love that you both hand printed the wallpaper. Greetings from the U.S.A.

[@kelliepatrick519]

I agree completely. It's the variation of the handprinting that makes it so special.

[@tomfinds5326]

What a brilliant idea for the wallpaper! I've thought it would be cool to make a stamp in reverse with a vulcanite bottle to create a seal matrix of sorts!

[@theminiatureworldofkitcaboodle]

Thank you Tom! :)

[@marydegenkolb9603]

Next time you use the vulcanite stoppers as a stamp, place a thin sheet of felt under the paper you are stamping on. It gives a bit of softness to the paper and the stamp comes out better.

[@janetregan2382]

I loved the desk and globe! Can you make a desk lamp??

[@janeybatchelor3093]

The wallpaper is fabulous ! I think it looks better not perfectly stamped as it is old and should be worn looking:) Beautiful wee things ! So exciting ! May God Bless the Queen and may she rest in well deserved Peace . ❤️

[@brightpurpleviking]

If you ever stamp paper again like that I find it easier and more vibrant to stamp paper that has a couple of paper towels underneath the paper. It gives a little cushion and the stamp comes out more easily. Beautiful outcome, you two!

[@theminiatureworldofkitcaboodle]

Thank you! :)

[@martinemjt]

quite quite lovely!

[@terriworley5267]

"The glorious study, being papered in a verdant hue, was made even more elegant by the addition of golden sunburst medallions, handpainted thereon. " I could go on, but anyway, I love the variation of the stamping! It adds to the character!

How amazing! I used to make miniatures for my stepdaughter's doll house. She is now 29. I found a wooden box while moving and I will turn it into a house when we finally settle into our new house. The wallpaper looks amazing. I love how the sofa looks in there. My grandma used to call a sofa a davenport. An idea for future, if you ever want to edge card or stiff paper with gold you can use your ink pad. Just put the card perpendicular to the pad and draw the edge of card across the surface.

[@fairyacorn4854]

A davenport is a desk.

[@geodetta8759]

@@fairyacorn4854 I think it can refer to both, a type of sofa or writing desk, it's due to the company A.H Davenport Co.

[@rachelsteele7699]

I love making tiny things from clay for my Sindy home. Enjoying it so much. I are an inspiration with your making. Repurposed items are so much fun

[@Suebee1988]

FYI - If you wanted just the star in the center, you could use a paintbrush to paint the ink/paint onto that part of the bottletop instead of pressing the entire bottletop into the ink. If you want the circles and they don't fully print, just use the brush to flesh them out. You might want to do a strip of 4 and offset the next strip with half, 3 and half, etc. The green and gold are great to represent the arsenic and heavy metals of the colors used back in the day. Have fun!

[@theminiatureworldofkitcaboodle]

Thanks for the tips! :)

[@deborahbaughman1366]

I love the fact that they aren’t all perfect

[@deeannmcginnis2115]

Just a thought about the bottle stoppers. If you don't want the words, could you fill the rim/word band with clay to make it smooth so only the center prints? It would clean off in water.
