The back room of the General Store is full and complete/Plus a mini produce DIY using PaperClay 

Thank you! I still sit here in amazement and think “hey that’s mostly paper”. One of my favorite things to do with miniatures is peek in the windows or doorways. 😆

Welcome!! Good evening!

Thank you! I have never loved and enjoyed a project as much as the General store.

Thank you!! I was totally surprised I was able to make the fruits and veggies. The last time I tried it was with polymer clay and I wasn’t as successful. 😆

You’re so kind! Thank you!! I wondered the same thing. 😆

Thank you! I think so too! 😊

@@Lauras-tinyview you are welcome 🤗

Aww thanks! Glad to hear that it has that back room feel that I was hoping to capture. Everytime I see print feed bags I think about “Little House on the Prairie”. To bad that things still don’t. I’d love to collect and save them.

@@Lauras-tinyview They are hard to come by, for sure. I remember my mom talking about her mother making things from the flour sacks back in the day. My Mom was one of 7 kids on a Nebraska farm in the 30s and 40s so, Grandma made use of those. I think it was a really nice touch to add to your back room.

@@MiniatureMadnessofcherylg2696 My grandma was from a big family too. They had 9 children she lived in Missouri. She told me about feed sacks and how they even used their old old clothes to make quilts. We found some reproduction feed sack fabric and made a couple of quilts.

@@Lauras-tinyview My Grandparents had 9 children but, two died in infancy. The quilts sound really neat, even if they were done in reproduction fabrics. I have seen the antique printed sacks but, they were pretty expensive. Can't wait for your next video. Any ideas what you will do after the store is all done?

@@MiniatureMadnessofcherylg2696 I’m planning to start an Old West Hotel. Maybe slash restaurant. Getting pretty excited about it and nervous too. You know how it is when you start a new structure. Once it is started my nervousness will go away. I guess it’s because I never built one before and I’m just looking at inspiration pics. There isn’t a pattern or kit. I’m just winging it all. 😆

Thank you so much!! It’s hard to believe the store is almost complete. I may add a tiny thing here or there, but I’ll soon be starting the next structure. 😬

@@Lauras-tinyview I I am sort of sad to see it end! I bet you are too in a way. Everything you’ve created has been so perfect for the space you have to work with. It’s too bad more people don’t get to see it. Wish they had scratch build museums somewhere!!! I am back to creating…so glad that slump is over. I realized in watching you the difference between 2 layers of cardboard and 4. Though I am working in a 4 inch circle I like the thickness. I am SO glad you started your channel!

@@lucyl6425 Yes I do feel a bit sad. Very excited to start the Old West Hotel, although nervous getting started. Especially when you have an audience and try to make it look interesting and informative. 😆 I know the theme of my projects aren’t for everyone. I hope that even though they aren’t making a store or hotel, they can get some inspiration from the video if they watch. Like you did with the layers of cardboard. That makes me happy to hear. I’m so glad you are back being creative again!! Wow, are you telling me your project is within a 4 inch circle!? What scale do you work in? A museum for scratch built minis would be so inspiring!! You could go there especially when you’re in a creative slump to knock yourself out of it.

@@Lauras-tinyview I am pretty sure that whatever you decide to create it will be just as great as the general store has been. You are going to have yourself a little town eventually! Well I think that the audience that you have absolutely loves what you do! Especially since you stopped doing the voiceovers and we get to hear why you’re doing what you’re doing. The course of a week I probably watch you three times. This just always something that I think oh I must’ve missed that! You know I just love watching scratch built channels. Have you ever heard of Dinky dioramas she’s in Australia I think and she builds everything out of cardboard. I think you might enjoy your channel if you haven’t already found her. It would be so cool to have a scratch build museum I think it would be a destination place for me! Yes I have been making little gnome houses and shops inside a 4 inch wooden circle and I put little fairy lights in it. I have made little seafood shacks, fairy houses etc. I don’t work in any scale that I know of. I think if I had to do scale I would lose my interest in the project I’m very intimidated with scale. Because I live in a tiny house I have to create things that are tiny or else I wouldn’t be able to move lol. But I enjoy making the little gnome houses because then I give them away and I don’t have to worry about storing them. I have a fascination with cardboard. So your channel is very inspiring for me! So thank you!!!

@@Lauras-tinyview also I wanted to say your way over 8000 subscribers already so I think you can be pretty confident that you have a lot of people who love to see you create whatever you’re interested at the time!

I’m so happy you have enjoyed and been inspired by everything! 🥰🥰🥰

Thank you!! I really appreciate your compliments! It’s been really fun challenging myself to make everything.

I’m so glad you enjoyed it Gretchen! I’m still trying to get practice with clay. Luckily they turned out looking like what they were supposed to. 😆

Thank you!!! 🤗🤗🤗

Thank you! You are so very welcome! I love hearing that you look forward to my Monday videos!!

Thank you! 🥰🥰 I have loved every minute of making this store. Sad it’s coming to an end soon. 😔 But soon I will start the next one. 😬

@@Lauras-tinyview 😬👍🏻 great can’t wait 💃🏻

Thank you so much!🥰🤗

You are so kind! Thank you!😊

Thank you! I think that bench would to be perfect for a medieval table, once you tweak it a little! Once again, I’m so glad I have inspired you! 🥰🥰Have a great weekend!!

Thank you so much! I appreciate that! 😊 🤗

That’s really interesting! I never knew that. Thank for sharing. 😊🥰

Aww thanks!!

Aww I’m so happy to hear that!! I”m glad too! 😊

Thank you!! 🥰

Thanks!! 🥰

Glad you enjoyed it!! 🥰

That sounds adorable! It’s funny you bring up mice. The shop keeper is going to be a mouse. 🐁 😆

Thank you!

Thank you!!😊

Thanks! You are welcome!!

Welcome to my channel!! I’m so glad my video popped up! 😁 I hope you have found the playlist for the General Store. I have videos on most of the construction of the store except how I built it. Unfortunately I had the idea to start my RU-vid channel right after I built it. In my final video of the General Store I will put the measurements in the description. That video should be up in a couple weeks. Thank you for watching! And Thanks for subscribing!! 🥰

@@Lauras-tinyview Thanks Laura. Other than all the little things you made, I was interested in the construction of the store. But you’ve just said you didn’t include that. What I was hoping for is how to make it so that you can pull out the side wall to see inside like you did in your video. That’s what has been stopping me starting my first project because I have been trying to see about pulling off the roof to see inside but that won’t work which leaves only the side. All the other projects you have made for your Store is exactly what I need to make my Mum’s home when she was a little girl in the twenties. It is such a little shack, no electricity, no running water and very basic furniture. The only thing stopping me is how to construct the wall so that I can see inside. I will be making with cardboard as it is my first attempt. Any ideas or do you know of anyone who has a basic tutorial for doing so. Thank you so much. Have been watching a few of your other videos this morning and must get on with my day or I will be here all day. Cheers Robyn ❤️😊

@@user-lg5vp5cr9q oh that sounds like a sweet project. I am starting an Old West Hotel in three weeks. I’m constructing it out of foam board just like the General Store. It will have two floors and the side walls will pull away just like the store. While you’re waiting to see how I construct the Hotel check out Bentley House Minis. Look for the video where she is starting to construct the Beatle Juice House. She has a lot of experience and knowledge and has inspired me to construct my own builds.

@@Lauras-tinyview Thanks Laura, I do follow Bentley House but have only watched her do a couple of the rooms of the BJ house, mainly because I haven’t watched the movie so wasn’t as interested in the build. Now that I know, I will watch it from the start. Thank you very much and I will look forward to your Old West Hotel. I thought a few weeks ago about making an old western saloon. Who am I kidding, that won’t happen. Maybe that would be a good addition to your western town build as I’m sure you would do it justice. Cheers Robyn 😊❤️

@@user-lg5vp5cr9q The Saloon is coming after the hotel. You must of read my mind. 😆 You never know, someday you just might make one. I never thought I would do a RU-vid channel. I’m to shy. 😆

Thanks! 😊

Thank you❣️

Thank you! You will be surprised! I used heavy duty cardstock. I get it at Hobby Lobby. It’s in the scrapbook section. The color is called Kraft paper I think. The weight is 110. When they are out I have used the cream heavy cardstock same brand and weight but it doesn’t feel as heavy to me. Still good but I prefer the Kraft color. Cant remember the brand but it’s the only one they carry. I usually hold several layers of what ever cardstock or food packaging I’m using together. That helps to figure out how many layers it takes to be 1/16 thick. That Kraft cardstock takes four layers to equal 1/16. I just lightly glue each layer together. I think in some of my earlier videos it shows me gluing the layers together. I want to say the quilt rack video explains that in detail.

I painted after they were dry. The color doesn’t rub off for me. I painted my apples with diamond glaze. But that makes them shiny, and I don’t think you want shiny potatoes. 😆

@@Lauras-tinyview haha so true
