03 The Navigator || A pirate's study with a globe bar cart ♥
Vložit
- čas přidán 2. 07. 2024
- Hello everyone! Today's miniature build is a blue and white room belonging to a navigator. There's bits of her story in the video-see if you can guess who she is! The room box is detailed with white molding and blue wallpaper, with a walnut parquet floor. The navigator has a hinged walnut desk with a compass rose inlay, and a vintage Chippendale corner chair. A framed map hangs above her desk, and books and scrolls are scattered on the floor. Treasure chests full of gold and diamonds glitter in the flickering candlelight, and a miniature globe bar cart holds a secret stash of whiskey...
Unintentional ASMR-Use headphones if you want to listen closely to the sounds of cutting, sanding, and woodcarving.
Sit with me and watch the past few months’ work as I build this beautiful navigator's library ♥

what always blows my mind with these videos is your patience. how on earth do you cut out every little paper and piece together a patterned floor?! i love to draw and write, but craft work like this is not my forte. therefore, i love to watch videos of talented people like you doing the thing they love most! what a wonderful experience your trip to miniature summer camp was. it's such a treat to meet impassioned people from all over the world. i just finished up a figure drawing class at my local college, and there were so many people with different backgrounds there. one of them was a 60 year old retired aerospace engineer! what an honor it is to work alongside a diverse body of artists.
i'm also still reeling from your recollection of diving for 3 1/2 minutes with no oxygen. what a storied life you lead!! your dedication is just so impressive. i yearn to cherish and celebrate life the way you do rather than just going through the motions. thanks for another wonderful video :)
I do a lot of work in the evenings while watching anime 🤭 I'm not so good at drawing but crafting keeps my hands busy... hands on brain off, as they say! The figure drawing class you took sounds so amazing! It's always so cool to meet older people and to hear about their lives and their stories. I'm still learning to cherish and live my life, writing about these experiences has really made me appreciate some of the things I've done! Here's to living a fulfilling life 💕💕💕
It made me so happy to see a video from you; you're one of my favourite miniaturists on CZcams:) Thank you for posting!
My first ever overseas trip was also my first trip alone; I went to Malaysia. I'd say it changed me, like every new experience does when you're younger, but mostly in reminding me that wherever I went, it was always myself there. So maybe it made me more myself, rather than changing me? Who knows.
Ohh I get what you mean! We're always ourselves no matter where we are 🥰 On a side note I just got back from a trip to Msia and the food there is soooo good 💕
Admittedly, I was not expecting a semi-obscure One Piece reference, but I do believe I am familiar with this navigator! As always, your words are careful and poetic and your build is lovely!!
YAYY you're the first one to guess the Navigator's identity. I started watching OP just before embarking on this project, and honestly went through a few hundred episodes while making this build...
@@mminmakes I'm not up on my One Piece knowledge but is the navigator Luffy? or is there another character who is in charge of navigating?
@@huntressmma1822 Luffy's the captain!! there's another character who does the navigating 🙊🙊🙊
I cannot wait for more stories to come- they’re absolutely stunning and mesmerising to look at. These miniature crafts are so well made and detailed! Please continue❤
Glad you like them! Yes I've definitely got more planned, though it'll probably be another few months til the next video is out ❤️
This was a wonderful video and a stunning work as always. Thank you so much for your minute, beautiful crafts! Can't wait to see what's next!
Thank you!! Working on the next one already 🥰💕
Pure work of art, Beautiful as always ❤
Thank you!! 🥰
I was just reading a book with pirates (Warding Song), what a coincidence! Wonderful video as always, I wish I could be shrunk down and live in one of your artworks ❤
Oh wow! A girl and her dragon...reminds me of Eragon 💙 It would be so fun to shrink down for a day 🤭🤭🤭
Kind of takes me back to The Crystal Key.😢Myst...
Feeling nostaligic right now.😘🧏🏻♀️💚🌲💚🇨🇦🐈 ⛵ I always am alone. Story of my life.💙
Aww I'm glad it reminded you of something nostalgic! Being alone means learning to love yourself. Sending hugs! 💙💙💙
Watching this video makes my heart heal so much. And my eyes get very busy. And my heart, too.💕💕💕
Very beautiful and inspiring. I hope to travel and live in Europe someday. Perhaps I'll choose to live near the sea.
Ohh living by the sea would be amazing ⛵ Hope you get to live in Europe one day!!
I love the worlds that you build! Each has a story behind it in which I'm drawn to. I would watch the videos multiple times just to emerse myself in it again and again. Seeing the premiere made me excited. And eager for more. The attention to detail and the careful handling of each shows me how much you love doing them. The love and time you put into it truly speak volumes.
Thank you so much for watching the premiere and then coming back to watch again 💕 Truly appreciate the support, makes all the time and effort of creating these videos worth it!
Your videos are well crafted and underrated as usual 😖‼️💕
thank youuu for the love and for staying through my first premiere 🥰🤭💖
Hopefully there's many more to come!
Your work is so beautiful and your videos are so calming!
If you want to make your floors even smoother, you can collect the sawdust from sanding, mix with a little bit of glue and push it into any small cracks between the pieces.
Wooooo so excited for a new one
me too!! first time I'm trying a premiere 😄
Maybe it's just because I'm watching this before bed, but something about your stories got me a little teary eyed in a good way. Keep up the incredible work, and keep being kind to yourself!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed, be kind to yourself too 💕💕💕
i love your building videos! i got myself everything to build mini houses as well and so happy to see you continue making these little houses! i am gonna be learning how to make my houses better each time with you :)
can you please share what is the scale you use in your projects? is it 1:12?
@@user-eo9wk3xb6myes, i believe that's what she said in another video!
Glad you like them! So happy to hear you got the supplies to make some mini houses too :) Yes the projects are in 1:12 scale but the walls are generally lower than they might be in a dollhouse as I don't make ceilings for these room boxes.
I only recently discovered your channel so am wildly excited to discover a new video coming out in a few hours time! I know it must take you months and months to create and film your magical little worlds, so every second of viewing time becomes a precious gem. 💖
Yesss this one took a good four months!! It's my first time trying a premiere so I'm excited 💖
@@mminmakes that's actually so impressive! Can't wait to enjoy all of your work 🤩
I’ve watched all your videos back to back. The details you put into these pieces are incredible. I miss miniature making, but I don’t have the tools necessary anymore.
Glad you like them! Hobbies come and go, I hope you find something fun to make even if it's not miniatures 💕💕💕
i am so excited to watch this, but it is late, so ill just be brimming with anticipation until tomorrow morning🤞
Aww thanks for dropping a comment! I hope you enjoy the watch in the morning 💕💕💕
I love modifying kit furniture! Beautiful work.
Me too! It's so satisfying...
There is something almost magical about your story projects; beautiful to see when complete, mesmerizing to watch (and hear) in progress. Your carefulness and patience are keys to success we should all be learning. Two questions: Can you show us the grades of sandpaper you use at the various stages? And, is there a source or substitute for the wood finish you use? No surprise to learn you follow Josje, she is wonderful. Many thanks!
Thank you for the lovely comment 💕 I spend a lot of time editing the video/sound so it's always wonderful to hear someone appreciate it! For sandpaper I usually use these grades: 180 for rough shaping, 220 to clean edges, 320 for final sanding. For wood finish, any paste wax will do. I'm impatient to finish the one I have so I can try some other brands, as mine seems to attract lots of dust... I also usually apply and buff out several layers over a couple of weeks, which isn't really clear in the video. It's not an instant finish 🤭 Josje's wonderful! Thank you again for watching and commenting ❤️
I really like your art. It's so beautiful and detailed. It makes your artwork look so real. Not only is it lifelike, but it also moves and works like the real thing. I'm so glad I found your channel. I know it's going to be a favorite for many people.
Thank you so much, I saw you comment on the other video too 💕 The working tables are my favourite thing to make!!
Stunning, absolutely amazing and beautiful. Just to see how much patience and skill it takes for the books! Glad you enjoyed Denmark, was a very long trip. Lots of hugs from Maria, Germany❤
It really is! I've never been to Germany but I'd like to visit someday 💕 Thank you for watching and commenting!
OMG this is amazing! I had stopped making anything for a few months due to exhaustion and so much happening in life atm. Today is the first time I logged in to watch anything craft related and this has reinvigorated me! I love all the intricate details and all the different techniques you show here! And that One Piece reference!!! I’ve been a One Piece fan for almost 20 years now hahaha and it was so great to pick up this reference. Can’t wait to see the next character you have in store 😆
Hi!! I missed you omg it has been a long time 💕 YAY for One Piece, I picked it up only recently and still haven't reached Egghead Arc... It's amazing you've been following it since the start!! Nami's story was soo sad, that image of her stuck in her room at Arlong Park stayed in my mind til I had to make this 😭😂 Sending hugsss for your irl battles and the energy for happy crafting~!
I recognized that wallpaper immediately! I put up the orange/navy version in my kitchen 🧡 love your work
Love that! It's such a pretty pattern, and navy/orange is an amazing combination 💙🧡
I have been blessed with your work, its so relaxing and peaceful i love the stories argh i love everything
Anyways
Blank space :]
Good night 🌙
Or morning ☀️
Hahahha thank you!! Wishing you a good morning or night too 💕
I especially loved hearing about your artistic journey!
Thank you so much! I didn't know if anyone would be interested so I'm glad you enjoyed it 🤭💕
Leaving a comment and like now to boost the algorithm so everyone can see your beautiful work! Cannot wait to watch this tonight 🫶
You're the best! This has been my best performing video so far, thank you for the boost! I hope you enjoy your watch through tonight 💕💕💕
everything you make is done with such care and attention! as someone with endless patience and affection for my crafts you absolutely make me proud of this trait, even when others aren't. A little too morbid, a little too logical, a changeling among humans (can you tell my art portfolio thesis yet-the ethereal & morbid within folklore and illnesses/disorders
Aww thank you! I love the way you talk about your crafts and portfolio thesis 💕 I struggle to share my art with people who don't have the same mentality, so it's lovely to hear from a fellow artist. Thank you for reminding me to persevere through those tiny intricacies 💕
The more you talked about the Navigator, the more I thought I recognized her, but I kept doubting myself, thinking it was just a coincidence.
When you said she loves tangerines, though, I knew I was right all along! How nice, I just started reading One Piece a few months ago, too! Beautiful work! 🍊
Wow, I’ve just finished the video, and you describe Nami’s life before the Strawhats so beautifully! I really felt emotional when you depict her conflicting desires for the safety of her island or her own freedom. Amazing job, I loved every second of it!
Yayy fellow one piece lover 💕 I got SO emotional about Nami's story, that scene of little Nami in her room at Arlong Park really stuck in my mind til I had to make this video 😭 Thank goodness for the Strawhats 🍊🍊🍊
i celebrated so aggressively when i saw this video that i woke my cat up and now he is angrily staring at me
HAHAHA this made me laugh, I can only imagine the stink eye he's giving you 😾😹😻
So beautiful! So beautiful I don't even have words!
Awww thank you!! 💕💕💕
beautifully done, i am mesmerized
Thank you so much!
Fantastic job on those legs. You made a beautiful chair …stunning.
Thank you! It was really fun carving them and seeing them take shape 💕
Where do you get this soft wood? Or is it the marital that you cut with is sharp?
All the wood and tools are linked in the description :) Balsa and basswood are the softest, easy to cut with a craft knife. For harder woods I use a box cutter/penknife.
I forgot to ask where are you up to on your One Piece journey?😆 I’m at the stage where I don’t want to be spoiled so I’m forced to read every new chapter each week, but wish I can have hundreds of chapters/episodes to marathon LOL
Ooh I'm in the middle of the wano arc anime wise.. they're about to show down on onigaishima? I've only read bits and pieces of the manga! I lovvveee marathoning a whole bunch of episodes while making a mountain of miniature books haha your advice to make minis while watching shows really worked out 😂
@@mminmakes Woooo you’re almost caught up!! It was so great to hear how Nami inspired this particular project ~ oh the feels!
Watching shows in the background while making stuff is the best hahaha 😂
I’m itching to start on the next miniature right now after watching your video! But just not much time lately 😭thank you so much for the hugs 🥰
Fantastic work. I wish there were measurements.
The patterns are all available on my Patreon, link is in the description 💕
literally screamed in happiness seeing a new video from you!!!! you’re my favorite channel rn 🥹🥹
Aww hahaha tysm!! Hope you enjoy the vid 💕💕💕
