Make Miniatures with Josje
Нидерланды
Добавлен 18 июн 2008
Hello! My name is Josje. Some of you may know me as Josje bouwt (Josje builds) as that was the name of my old website about my dollhouses and miniatures. Unfortunately that website no longer exists, along with the many tutorials and other information on there. \u2028So, instead of the website, I will now have videos.
\u2028\u2028‘Make Miniatures with Josje’ is about DIY tutorials, information about tools, techniques and materials, building dollhouses and roomboxes, furniture and my (and other) miniature collections, mostly in 12th scale.
A crafts show exhibit, tools, taps and thoughts
Miniaturist Journal 112. The crafts show was fun! I'm showing you a little bit of that today.
After returning home again I had to put it all away again. What a mess I made creating these roomboxes for the show! I continue work on the kitchen, making taps for the pump. And during my breaks I crochet some more...

Making a curtain for the bedroom.
It looks great! Can’t wait to try it in my greenhouse. I’ll have to get busy eating more eggs. 😁
Thank you! Yes! Do you need some egg recipes? 😉
It would be so much fun to follow along if you decide to make the dollshouse from the book!
Great! I'm going to make the house. But I have to finish my current project first, so I need a few months before I can start. 😃
Hello. Can you explain what that lever is on the side of the cabinet with the taps? I don’t think we have that in the United States. I’ve never seen it. It’s so interesting. Is it some kind of a pump to get the water going? warm wishes from Los Angeles Dale
Hello Dale! Yes, the lever is for pumping the water. This pump and the taps are based on 17th- and 18th-century ones. The rooms I am currently building are based on 17th and 18th-century examples, so no modern conveniences. They often had large rainwater reservoirs in the cellars. The pump in the kitchen was connected to the reservoir, so they always had clean water in the kitchen. 😃
We learned so much when doing miniatures. Thank you so much for your videos. I look forward to them. It takes my mind off everything when I watch them. They’re so good! Warm wishes from Los Angeles, Dale
Yes, I think that's part of the fun in making miniatures. There's always something to discover about techniques, social history, architecture...etc. Thank you Dale! I'm glad you're enjoying my videos. 😃
The quilt colors are so beautiful. In "full size" you might block the granny squares so they're all the same size and shape. It might not be possible in this small size though. But the squares look good as they are and once they're put together will look great! I'd like to see how you're going to join the squares! And I'd Love to see you make that dollhouse, in 1:24 would be great!!
Yes, I saw that they blocked the squares on a kind of stand with pins on the corners. I thought I should make a miniature one, but I haven't yet. The video I watched to learn to crochet the squares had a beautiful way of joining them as you crocheted, but I preferred to crochet the squares first and join them later. Okay on the house! I'm going to make it in 24th scale. I will start in a few months after I finish my current project 😃
Loved this episode! Yes, please - would love to see you build a dollshouse from the beginning!
Thank you Michelle! I will build the house, but I need a few months to finish my current project first. That will give me some time to prepare the project too. 😃
Your videos bring such beauty into my life. Was so sad when you thought you had lost the bobbins and the lace. And so happy when you had found them! They are really special! Thank you for sharing your talents and wonderful miniatures with all of us.
You are so welcome! Yes, I was very happy to see the lace stuck to the side of my basket. I have no idea how it got there but I'm glad I still have it. 😃
Your videos are always such a joy to watch, Josje!! So very talented!!! ❤ I like Korean dramas too - am currently watch Miss Night and Day while painting my furniture 😁
Thank you so much Tammy! Oh I watched that one too! It was good, I liked it. I liked Miss Day, she was funny. I'm watching Snowdrop at the moment (on Disney +). Also good. Very different from the other one, with a bit of political background, North Korean spies and a lot of intrigue, of course. 😃
Yes, please make the house that would be fascinating to watch. 😊
Okay, I will! I just need a few months to finish my current project and then I'll start on the house in the book! 😃
This was so much fun! So many many things happening! I think I have to work backwards… I would love to see you make that doll house. And I’m so happy that you found your tiny beautiful piece of lace! I knew that you would! And those beautiful spools of thread, oh my, those colors are scrumptious! I am so amazed that you are able to do those Tiny crocheted squares. They are so lovely and I cannot wait to see them made into a blanket. And I am still giggling that the woman thought you were going to make a full-size blanket out of crocheted squares even smaller than your finger nail 😂 And a lot of the taps that you made for your kitchen. Just gorgeous! You were clearly the belle of the ball at that event. I’m glad that you got to meet so many nice people, including one of us. I think that would be one of the very nicest surprises ever. What kind of tea do you drink? Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful vlog with us!
Thank you so much Jen! It was a fun event. Very small but enjoyable. I loved seeing the work of other local artists. When you think about it, most of us have no idea what our neighbours or people local to us make. Apparently, another miniaturist who lives very close to me makes miniature ceramics! I had no idea. I hope to meet her one of these days. I'm drinking a mixture of organic Earl Grey green tea and Rooibos. It's a very nice mixture! 😃
@@MakeMiniatures It must be nice tea because you were making little yummy noises when you drank it. I like rooibos very much, and I have had a lot of earl gray but only the black. Not Earl Grey green. I will have to look around. I can’t believe you have someone who lives very close to you who makes miniature ceramics, there must be something in the water in your area. It’s Monday night here so it’s Probably Tuesday morning for you already. I hope that your week is off to a great start!
Well, considering the Netherlands is one of the most densely populated countries in the world, I would have quite a good chance of meeting another local miniaturist 😉 The tea is lovely, very mild and aromatic.
I'm so happy you found the lace and bobbins. I once thought I'd lost a whole collection of museum quality miniatures after a move and was beside myself with despair until I found it. I love watching you work.
Oh wow! I can just imagine how you felt when you thought you lost those miniatures! We were both lucky to find our treasures again. Thank you Desiree! 😃
Thank you Josje, your videos are always so diverse, unpredictable and never boring 👏👏. So glad you found your lace and bobbins! That ring holder tool looks very interesting, will see if it is available here, of course everything is twice as expensive down under🥴
Glad you like them Coby, thank you! I'm sure you can get the wooden ring clamp where you are. Or else there is Temu, where I've also seen them for around 5 euros. Shipping is often free from there. 😃
Have found them and yes not too pricey.
@@coby9896 Great! 👍
Everything is of interest when I see your posts. I crocheted many baby items in my past, and one granny blanket was of 9 colours with many similar tones to the ones you are using for the miniature blanket. What is your thread? It looks like silk. Also, are the thicker ones wool? As for the little house, it is so charming but seems to be quite an undertaking. However, knowing what your canal houses are like, I am sure you would be up to the task!
Thank you Maroulio! My thread is cotton. Looks nice, doesn't it? The thicker ones are Sashiko thread, also cotton. I wanted to try some Sashiko embroidery (not miniature), but I thought the thread would work for miniature knitting, too. A sweater, perhaps. Or basket weaving, it has the right thickness for that, and the colours are gorgeous, so who knows...I think it will be a fun project to make the little house! 😃
I would love to see you build a new dollhouse. I think 24th scale is a wee bit easier... 😊
Noted! 😉 Easier? I think for me it will be harder as it is smaller, and I'd still like a lot of detail in there...
Is that your own dyed indigo fabric?
No, I got that in Denmark. But it did make me think that I want to do some indigo tie-dye! I have to find some indigo dye pigments first. Maybe dye some wool with it while I'm at it. 😉
I love your room box of baskets. It isn't as grand as the others but equal in quality. Its my favorite. I love the daily things in minature that stands the test of time. Baskets now, baskets 1000 years ago. The practical items in minature like your yellow rubber gloves, I just love.
I love that one too. As did my friend who came to see me at the show. And yes, I love baskets. These mundane, practical items seem to take on an extra charm in miniature. 😃
I loved your exhibit. Absolutely gorgeous. I love all things thread and fabric. I have far more than I'll ever use. I hope to teach my granddaughter to quilt. She's 18 months so we have time. There is something wonderful about the new colors. Especially the organically dyed. I love your knitting. Wonderful. It is nice having a minature on the work desk. I usually have a minature picture yet to be framed. Last week I found my 12th scale baby. So she's crawling around the desk tool cabinet. Thank you for you!
Oh I love that you'll be teaching your granddaughter to quilt one day! It will be a precious time between the two of you, plus you'll be teaching her skills like sewing, designing and working with colour. 😃
Lovely video! The yarn colours are very nice! I made my dollshouse from a book by Michal Morse I found at de Slegte secondhand bookshop in Den Haag in 1992! I thought I needed a hobby as I was pregnant with my first child and could not imagine having all this time to myself when not working full time, lol. It’s not as old as your book, but I do have some great furniture books for full size furniture that work for translating to 1/12th scale. My favourite is Period Furniture Projects by VJ Taylor.
Oh wow, de Slegte! Such a wonderful shop! We had one in Utrecht too and I bought soooo many wonderful books from there. It was hard to go in there and come out empty-handed 😂 What a lucky find that book was! The beginning of a lifetime hobby. Even though you probably didn't have as much time for it as you thought with a child or children around. I'll have to look up the books you mentioned. I just received another furniture book about the furniture in 19th-century Dutch royal palaces. Great book and a steal at only €2 (thrift shop but brand new).
Thank you for another great video. Yes, please build the dollhouse 😊
Will do! Thank you Beth! 😃
@MakeMiniatures also, it might be useful to those that don't have room for another dollhouse to show how to build a room box.
Yes I should do that, good idea. I'll try to do that next week. I need to think about it and get some materials first. Thank you Beth! 😃
I would love to see you build the little house, always enjoy learning other miniaturists techniques! And what a relief finding your bobbins and lace!
Thank you Dana! I will need a few more months to finish my current project, after that I will start on the little house in the book. 😃
The book it would really help if we knew the authors name because there’s a few home mechanics books out there Josje 💖🇬🇧
Unfortunately, there is no mention of the English author's name in my book. I did a little searching online, but so far, I have not found the English version of this book. The preface mentions that the articles (?) or chapters were published in 32 parts, even though this is a complete book. A bit confusing. A bit of investigation is needed. 😃
@@MakeMiniatures I did have a look for the book Josje, there’s a few with the same title but different covers, I get most of my books from “The world of books” they sell second hand books and very reasonably priced, I’m ordering one of those tools for myself 🥰💖🇬🇧
I ordered a clamp! You showed me how to use it in Tune, thanks for the reminder. What year was the book translated? 33:02
It's a great tool Russell! It doesn't say in the book what year it was printed or translated. I am guessing it is from around 1930.
The tool is great, very helpful. I hope someone can find the book!
Great video to watch Josje, I am so happy that the exhibition went well for you, and thanks for naming that tool, fascinating book and pleased you found the bobbins and lace too, tfs x Julie 🇬🇧
My pleasure Julie! I think the tool is very helpful for us miniaturists. 😃
Your room boxes look so lovely! So glad you found the MIA pieces - such a relief! Those pastel colors are incredible! They’re “my” favorite colors tooI I cannot fathom making such tiny granny squares - amazing! The taps are great! The wooden ring clamp is new to me - what a fabulous tool to have! I’ll be looking into that! Such a treasure of a vintage book! I so hope you do build the dollhouse it includes. It would be such wonderful and instructive to watch you build! You are so talented! Every video of yours is truly a joy! Thank you! ❤Kathleen
Thank you so much Kathleen! Yes, I was so happy when I spotted the lace hanging off the side of my basket! I will build the house in the book. I do need a few months to finish my current project first though! That will give me some time to do research too 😉
I absolutely love watching your videos I’ve learned so much. It would be great to watch you build a structure from the beginning. I purchased The Big Book Of A Miniature House by Christine-Lea Frisoni last winter to guide me through my first build and am really enjoying the process.
Thank you so much! Good to hear that! Lea Frisoni's book is already a classic among dollhouse books. I can imagine you're enjoying the process. I need a few months to finish my current project, but then I'll start on the Tudor house from the book. 😃
Another wonderful video! The show looks wonderful. I'm happy to be going to one next month. The threads are gorgeous, I love the muted colours. I'm going to check into the clamp it looks particularly useful. Glad you found your lace piece. My Mom knew how to do this beautiful work (full size), I still have some of her original bobbins, and nope, I didn't learn, which is too bad. However, I did turn some mini bobbins and made the pillow and stand for my mini house. My Belgian grandmother was an expert lace maker. I have a roll of her lace which, sadly is yellowing because of age. I'm not sure what to do with it. Your taps turned out so beautiful. Thanks again.
Thank you Urbania! How wonderful to still have the lace roll your grandmother made! Maybe you can gently wash it with mild soap, ox gall or some other mild fabric cleaner. Is it wrapped around cardboard or paper? That may cause yellowing. I tried lacemaking but found it difficult to hold and manage the bobbins. I love watching others do it though. 😃
I love all your videos, I always learn something, use of tools, as well as another Dutch word or two😊 So to see you build a house from scratch would be right up my 'miniature street' so to speak😅 yes please!
Thank you very much! I have to finish my current project first, as I don't have the room (or the time) to do both, but then I'll start on the house! 😃
Hello Josje, the taps look marvellous, they remind my of my childhood when our taps came out of the wall above a butler sink with a wooden draining board, they didn't look as fancy as yours though lol. When I was very little my Mum used to lay me on the draining board and wash my hair in the sink. The thread colours are beautiful, and your granny squares look great. The tool was interesting, ive not seen one like that before. I'm glad you found the tiny lace, it's so delicate and pretty. The book looks fascinating, I love old books, especially the smell of them 😊, I might have a look and see if I could find a copy. I think building the house ftom it would be a lovely project to follow. Have a lovely weekend, (it's a bank holiday here on Monday, I don't know if you have the same one over there.) Best Wishes from Yorkshire, England 🇬🇧 😊
Thank you so much Diane! Nope, just a regular Monday here this week ;) What lovely memories of you and your Mum, washing your hair in the sink! We all love modern conveniences, but such memories are great! Unfortunately, I can't find the name of the writer or the publisher of the English book. It just mentions the English title in the preface, "Home Mechanic". It does mention that the different chapters would have been published in 32 episodes, so maybe the English version was published as leaflets or magazine articles. I really don't know. If you can find it, I'd love to hear about it! 😃
The taps turned out so well. Building another miniature home would be fun and an ambitious undertaking. I'm so happy you found the lace and bobbins.
Thanks so much Heather! Yes, the miniature house (I'm thinking 1:24th scale) may be a bit ambitious. We'll see! 😃
I love your videos. Watch them all and so happy about the Tudor! I’m building one now. Please please show us how you are building your 2nd canal house as room boxes and how you are putting it all together. Thank you!
Thank you Nancy! The canal house is a long way off from finishing. But basically, there are several stacked roomboxes around which I will build the outer walls eventually. The little Tudor house would be an in-between project 😃
@@MakeMiniatures Thank you for being an inspiration!
That's very kind, thank you! 😃
I was so happy you found the lace and bobbins ... What a lost treasure that would have been. 1:24 scale...interesting. I would love to follow along and see the challenge of that scale. 😊
Yes, I was so relieved when I spotted it on the side of my basket! As for the house, I know it will be a challenge for me. I never worked in 24th scale before! 😃
🎉thankyou hun🎉
My pleasure Dorothy. 😃
🎉that's a lovely tudor style house 🏠 it would be great to see you make it. I love old books too 🎉
Well, I think it would be fun to build, so, who knows, in a few months...😃

Haha! Lovely to have lots to look forward to. 😃
🎉the clamp is really cool 🎉😊
It really is! A great tool for miniaturists. I think it would be a great help for miniaturists with arthrosis or arthritis.
Wonderful interior design by you of the boxes

Hi Dorothy, Always nice to receive a parcel 😉 The show was a success. I had a great afternoon 😃
@@MakeMiniatures oh so true 👍 x
Always love your videos.happy the show was a success, the room boxes all looked fabulous ❤ I used to buy every colour of DMC threads loved the colours, then started on the specialist threads..made me very happy 😊 So happy you found the lace bobbins, I would have been devastated loosing such a beautiful piece...❤❤❤
Thank you so much! DMC has a fabulous colour range, I have quite a few of those too, but I don't use them much anymore. The specialist threads are like a little treasure each! 😃
A lovely combination of colours …threads, flowers and china. J
Thank you Janine! 😃
This might be one of my favorites - the variety made it so rich.
Thank you Melissa! 😃
indeed fit for the fairy queem
It is, isn't it?! 😃
I love the marquetry work on the table. Inlay wood work is wonderful.
I agree! It's so beautifully done. I love that little table. 😃
A beautiful lesson. I really enjoyed learning from your creative process. All the rooms are just so well-crafted. The 37 minutes flew by! Thank you for taking the time to post!
My pleasure Maroulio! Good to read you enjoyed it. 😃
My goodness, the wonderful things you have to share with us! Thank you so much! So glad we got to sell all the boxes...each one as beautiful and creative as the next.
You are so welcome! Nice to hear you enjoyed seeing it Melnie. 😃
Alison Davies has some incredible wallpaper this year. You can also download. But her finished wallpaper I ordered is better than any other. Susan Bembridge has amazing wallpapers. But I really appreciate the print quality of Alison. She prints on a very high resolution and looks very realistic. Something about the ink she uses.
I'll check it out! I did see some of it in her newsletter a while ago but didn't look at it properly. Thank you!
I love the sewing and knitting. Its such a lost art. Its also very historically revelant in minatures. Thank you again Josje. 💓 Oh my, I absolutely love those socks. What a piece of art history.
My pleasure Tara. I think sewing and knitting, especially here in the northern part of Europe, has been making a huge comeback. Much helped by RUclips I believe. I follow a few sewing channels of people who use old sewing techniques and research and create historical clothing. I've always found it fascinating. 😃
Such a treat to see some of your collection up close, the folks at this exhibition are so lucky. I love how the curated boxes are unique but work in harmony as a set, that’s your eye for colour and interiors. You truly have one of the finest collections of miniatures made by talented crafts people, yourself included. Thank you for making this accessible and sharing with enthusiasts who cannot afford or are unable to collect themselves. Your vlogs are a delight and I love to watch and learn. Thank you ❤❤❤
My pleasure Wendy! That is so nice of you. I am happy to share my collection this way with you, the RUclips viewers and the exhibition visitors. I think they enjoyed it too! 😃
What a wonderful opportunity to admire your special pieces in a new setting, albeit temporarily. Lucky viewers at the exhibition👏
Many thanks Coby! I think the visitors enjoyed it. 😃
Every video of yours is so calming, inspiring and a treasure for the eyes and heart. Thank you for creating these for us! ❤ Kathleen, USA
My pleasure Kathleen! Thank you 😃
I took a class from Pete and Pam Boorum in Chicago in April!
That must have been good! I found them to be excellent teachers. 😃
Very much enjoyed this one. I am working on a small room box in the 1:144 scale. Your video gave the the thought of putting a tapestry on the wall instead of wallpaper.
Wonderful Heather, thank you!
Thank you Josje, enjoyed this so much. J
Thank you Janine. Glad you enjoyed it 😃
❤️❤️❤️
Thanks Dale! 😃
