The tiny newspaper and individually assembled tulips got me. There is a strange amount of joy in details that almost nobody will ever notice unless they stop and look closely.

Not directly related, but one of the more impressive artists I've seen along these lines. Each photo has a bit of a story to it:

Wow, these are excellent. I clicked for the miniature craft and ended up staying for the tiny mouse drama

My wife collects and resells these miniatures.

It is quite fascinating. It's kind of like Warhammer.

They buy them assembled? or rare versions or something?

I just bought the other day a fully smol garden/green house! It also comes with tiny lamps and a battery.

There should be some scale for comparison just to wow people more. I think that most of us underappreciate how really tiny models are.

Definitely needs the traditional banana for scale, although in this case the banana might occupy half the cafe (just a joke, sorry (just in case))

Ah neat, my daughter likes to do this too, with Rolife. I let her borrow our camera with our 105mm macro lens to take artsy shots of her builds, and it was a fun learning and creative experience together. Highly recommend.

Also, dust and hair at that scale looks hilariously huge, so you might want a cleanroom. :-/
