I started with a tiny doodle... and somehow it turned into a fantasy artwork with miniatures, a polymer clay project AND a very dark little story. 😂
This time I'm making a tiny Apothecary's Window from a wood slice, polymer clay and paint, complete with an ornate frame, moonlit forest, black cat and a rather mysterious story about love, curses and a very bad decision involving a forbidden spell.
And yes... this was supposed to be "just a little doodle". 🤦♀️
Along the way I'm also making a tiny candlestick holder, using up some of my not-quite-perfect miniature pots, adding miniature details and weathering everything so it looks like it belongs inside my abandoned Apothecary's Attic.
Then, towards the end, I tell you The Apothecary's Window story.
Is this going to become a whole collection of miniature stories from the attic? Because my brain has already started producing ideas... send help. 😂
If you love miniature making, polymer clay crafts, fantasy art, miniature dioramas, storytelling, gothic miniatures, dark fantasy, handmade miniatures, woodland art, magical crafts and creative projects, you're very welcome here.
💬 Would you like me to turn the other objects in the Apothecary's Attic into their own little stories? Tell me which one should get a story next!
And if you're new here, subscribe and come join me for the next bit of handmade weirdness. ❤️

![I Built an Apothecary Attic From Cardboard… and It Got Out of Hand!
Welcome back to the attic ✨
In this second part of my DIY crafts and miniature apothecary attic build, things get messy… in the best way possible.
part 1 here... https://youtu.be/mVvJAY_greg
Using cardboard, paper, texture paste, glue, leftover resin pieces and a lot of imagination, I start transforming the basic structure into a creepy-cosy fantasy room complete with:
🕯️ A glowing fireplace
🚪 A hidden trap door
🧪 Apothecary details
🪵 Weathered wood textures
✨ Old cracked walls and aged effects
This build is heavily inspired by fantasy worlds, abandoned attics, magical apothecaries and cosy witchy spaces.
There’s still SO much to do:
• wallpaper
• shelves
• potion storage
• lighting
• greenery
• storytelling details
• ageing and weathering
And honestly… I’m completely obsessed with this build now.
Let me know in the comments:
Should the apothecary owner be a witch, wizard, herbalist… or something stranger? 👀
