Now a model maker and a creator of miniatures herself, her miniature wooden houses are shared on her Instagram account and sold online. “The first miniature I made was when I was around 10 years old,” she says. “I made it with toothpicks and it was a little house with small furniture. I remember that in order to open and close the door, I used a piece of cloth. I still keep it with much affection.”

Based in Spain, she incorporates in her work various types of wood, which include softwood like balsa or hardwood like linden, to which she adds detail in clay. The finished product is then painted using acrylic paint.

“One thing that I enjoy very much is making miniature versions of people’s houses,” she says. “It is very exciting for them and I have a good time.” She adds that she especially enjoys making small furniture, and adding details like plants, carpets, paintings, and televisions. “When you put them together they are like a small town,” she says.

“For me, the most difficult thing is to make very small objects without losing too many details,” she added. Step into her small (and quite delightful!) town:

But it’s her miniature food items that really caught our attention. “My interest in miniatures really stems from my love of fake food and the realization that minis could be a relatively easy way to reproduce all kinds of food,” admitted Growden in an interview with Daily Mini. Indeed, her food looks good enough to eat (or, more likely, devour completely).

According to Growden, she began experimenting with miniature making after coming across videos on YouTube of a girl making miniature pastries, fast food, and candy. “I was working at an art supply store, so I just bought the supplies I needed there and went home to try making some mini food myself,” she recalled. It quickly took off from there.

“I generally draw inspiration for miniatures from whatever I wish I had in real life but, for whatever reason, don’t,” she says. “That may be a particular food, a vintage stove, or some antique painting I can’t afford. At least I can have a miniature version.”

Here are some of our favorite pieces by her:

Then they decided to put snails into different scenes including suburban neighborhoods and flying cars, and see what will happen. Surprisingly, snails showed themselves as perfect additions to those pieces and on top of that, excellent actors for Murawski and Copeland’s images and short films.
