Miniarc Modern Glass Top Table in 1:12 scale.

I designed and built this modern glass top table for the Miniarcs collection. It appears in ReadyMade Magazine, Oct/Nov 2008 Issue 37, page 60, Movers & Makers: Vanessa Tiegs designs and builds modish miniatures.

The table's clear lucite legs detach from the table top for easy shipping and storing when not in use. The legs attach via tiny magnets. This table is available for sale. It measures 3-1/2" x 6" x 2-5/8" high. If you would like to own this table or commission a Miniarc collectible, please "e" me.

Miniarc Bed No. 3: All White Luxury

Miniarc Bed No. 3: All White Luxury, originally uploaded by Miniarcs.

This is the first custom request. Created in 1:12 scale, this miniature is made lovingly by hand in San Francisco.

A pair of hand-sewn white silk square pillows rests on a pair of hand-crafted white silk bolster pillows. The bed sheet is made of 400 thread count cotton. At the foot of the bed is a neatly folded comforter. The comforter cover is made of a finely woven silk and satin pinstripe fabric. All soft luxurious fabrics.

The bed is constructed with a 4" x 5" solid white acrylic base, and a laser-cut T-shaped platform measuring 10" wide x 7" long. This includes a night table on each side of the bed. The platform supports a light-weight specially cut mattress of synthetic foam measuring 6" x 7" x 1.5". The memory foam mattress is fitted with a white cotton sheet with carefully folded hospital corners.

Simply elegant, modern luxury for modern miniature collectors.

Miniarc Bed No. 2: Miniature Floating Bed

Here's my second Miniarc bed, finished on March 20th and built in 1:12 scale. The mattress is squishy yet firm to hold its shape, and the pillows and comforter are also soft. The last photo is taken with the Transamerica Building in sunset background.
