Get to Know Me
Hi! My name is Summer and I’ve been working with polymer clay since I was seven years old. I love tiny things, so I absolutely love making miniatures!
I've done a lot of things in my life—going to grad school for clinical mental health counseling, being an editor, being a teacher (both art/clay and Kindergarten), being a Cannabis grower and educator (and, yes, a budtender as well)—and I'm officially adding "miniature artist" to the list! Although I make just about everything, I specialize in "alternative" dollhouse accessories—usually revolving around weed or other psychedelics (and other 'adult' activities). 🤓 I’m also excited to offer a few pet-related miniatures now—and hope to continue expanding that collection!
I work out of my house in Albuquerque, NM, surrounded by my silly dog—Grandma, my big cat—Joben, my smaller cat—Pete, and my awesome partner (and our seven chickens)! Each piece is made-to-order and completely handmade by me, with love and positive Albuquerque vibes. ✌️

FAQs
How quickly will I receive my order?
I create and ship orders on a WEEKLY basis. My weekly routine is: creation on Sundays and Mondays, glazing on Tuesdays, packing on Wednesdays, and shipping on Thursdays. ⏰ You can check out this page to see when your order will be shipped depending on when you purchase it. ☺️
Do you offer custom orders?
Yes! If I'm confident I can do it well, I am willing to create almost anything. If you have a custom order in mind, please message me so we can discuss it further and set up a listing!
How do orders come packaged?
I wrap each miniature in tissue paper, then nestle them in a small, sturdy box, which I then put into a 6x9” bubble mailer. If you order multiple items, they will be in one mailer but wrapped separately to lower the chance of breakage.
Do you accept returns or exchanges? What if my order arrives damaged?
Due to the custom and delicate nature of my miniatures, I generally do not accept returns or exchanges unless an item arrives damaged. Please read the product descriptions carefully before purchasing.
I take great care in packaging, but if your order arrives damaged, please contact me immediately with photos of the damaged item and packaging. We'll work together to find a solution, which may include a replacement or refund.
Do you ship to [insert location]? / Do you offer free shipping?
Right now, I ship to all U.S. states and territories, including Puerto Rico, for a flat rate of $5 per order for USPS Ground Advantage or $10 per order for USPS Priority. This is per ORDER, not item—generally, I can safely fit up to ~10 minis in one package, depending on their sizes. I’m also working on adding more shipping regions and options; if you need something specific, contact me so we can figure it out. And I do plan to offer free shipping (USPS Ground) for orders over $40 very soon! 😎
Do you sell anything in person?
Yes! I regularly look for markets to participate in around the Albuquerque, NM, area! If you happen to find me at a market, some of the minis for sale will be “in-person exclusives”—not available here, on my website, or in my Etsy shop. 🎉 I also am able to offer more discounts in person, so I hope to meet you all sometime! If you want to stay up to date on where I’ll be, contact me!
Next Upcoming In-Person Event:
I’ll be at Napoli Coffee’s Summer Market
on Saturday, July 12th, 2025!
What materials do you use?
I primarily use polymer clay and UV resin—or a mix of both—depending on the miniature. Some pieces are also glazed with UV resin, but most are glazed with Liquitex Professional Varnish, either matte or gloss, depending on the mini. I also use acrylic paint on the pieces that are hand painted.
