I’ve been a passionate about miniatures virtually my entire life. While I collect and craft miniatures as a hobby, I mostly promote and sell tiny treasures as a business. Over the years, I've developed a keen ability to connect collectors with buyers who share the same understanding of the love, dedication and hard work it takes to curate a personal collection of miniatures; I've learned how to join sellers with enthusiasts who share a common appreciation for the joy, respect and care that miniatures deserve. I’m often called a “Miniatures Empath” or the "Dollhouse Whisperer.”

Register

I'm excited to be sharing my knowledge of the options you have for guiding your dollhouse miniature collections to a protected and cherished home while answering as many of the questions you might have about best ways of handling your adored treasures.

This is a free event - simply RSVP your attendance to darrentscala@gmail.com and a link will be shared 24 hours prior to the event. You email will be added to my email distribution list and you can opt out any time (but I hope won't!).

Meet the Miniaturist: Morgen Bearse

Meet the Miniaturist Morgen Bearse, a floral miniature artisan from Cap Cod, Massachusetts, who crafts some of the most beautiful flower arrangements in small scale (her sunflowers are amazing!).

Watch Now!

After a notable career in the Washington D.C. area wedding and event industry (full size!), Bearse decided to turn to small scale creations while building on her extensive (self taught!) knowledge of design, decor and flowers!

In a recent episode of Meet the Miniaturist we learn more about Morgen and her background and evolution into the world of miniatures where she is quickly making her mark as a fine scale artist.

Bearse began making miniatures in 2005 and entered the Miniatures.com Creatin' Contest winning several prizes along with way.

Her lovely miniature flowers stand out as she works hard to create realism in her work.

She also shares some of favorite tools as well provides tips and tricks for achieving realism in tiny flower arrangements.

A BIG thank you to Morgen for sharing her story - you can follow Morgen on Instagram at www.instagram.com/morganbearse and learn more about her and her work at www.morgenb.com. She also is open to commission works and you can meet her at the upcoming Tom Bishop International Show in Chicago (www.bishopshow.com) where she will be a first time seller.
