Taking inspiration from myths, magic, and the natural world, Warrington, England-based artist Caroline Dewison, aka A House of Wonders, creates fabulous handmade miniatures and dioramas.
I didn’t really set out with the intention of making miniatures. They just turned out that way. It began with making little mossy patches on clay pieces, sourcing materials I found in model railway layouts, which I immediately fell in love with. Seeing how others recreated such realistic scenes was really inspiring, so I bought some scenery supplies, and the ideas just grew. The natural world has always filled me with a sense of wonder. I grew up in the days where you could disappear all day as long as you were home for tea, and I spent a lot of my time exploring the woods and fields near our house.
