Minis Magnified is a monthly in-depth look at one of the miniatures in our collection written by our very own Museum Services Manager, Emily Wolverton. This month, we will look at the Miss Havisham Dome create by TMTM Founder, Pat Arnell.

"How appropriate then is this dome which houses her, a time capsule for a character whose very existence was frozen in time, self-condemned to misery."  Click here to read this article  

The Mini Time Machine's How To projects are created by Associate Director and Director of Education, Lisa Hastreiter-Lamb. Each project is designed for the beginning miniature maker with easy to find materials.

This month's project: How to Make a Wee Wire Basket. Click here for the instructions for this project and past projects
