Since 1997, there is a Swedish miniatures magazine, named Miniatyrvärlden (The Miniature World). I've contributed DIY projects from time to time, all of them listed on this page.
The market stall in issue #3, 2007. Plans for a 1:48 scale market stall, and generic building directions including how to enlarge the plans for larger scales. You'll find more pictures and facts on my market scene page.
I built the antiques shop roombox for issue #2, 2006 - the magazine's 10th anniversary issue. There I gave directions for building a shop counter and a cash register, plus hints for finding larger-scale accessories compatible with 1:48 scale. Visit the Antiques shop page for pictures.
In issue #1, 2005 I contributed a project for a 1:12 scale trinket or doll chest, or a 1:48 scale chest of drawers. There are a few different variations, as shown. None of the drawers open - the half-open drawer with the necklace hanging out is only a drawer front glued on spacers. The 1:48 scale lady is standing on the William Morris rug shown below.
One of the chests of drawers is now in my 1860s bedroom.
Issue #3, 2003 contained my diagram for this rug, based on William Morris' Little Tree carpet. The pic shows two different uses for the same design - a 1:48 scale carpet stitched on silk gauze, and a 1:12 scale stair carpet stitched on 22 count canvas.
For issue #1, 2003 I designed a 1:12 scale needlepoint rug for 22 count canvas. It is based on an early 19th century Belouch rug. I stitched the small rug which is 6.5 cm by 8 cm (2½" by 3"), and edited the image to show what a rug with more repeats could look like (10 cm by 15 cm, or 4" by 6").
How-to's for my basic roombox (1:48 scale, of course!) depicting a living room at Christmas time appeared in issue #3, 2002, which was published in December that year. Visit the Christmas living room page among my other roomboxes, for more and larger images.
The editors of Miniatyrvärlden visited me once, and wrote two articles that appeared in the magazine in 2000. Below you can see snapshots of the articles - the first one was 1½ pages long, the other was two pages. My Lucia and Christmas tree (both shown on the Christmas page) were featured on the cover of the issue #3, 2001, and my arbor on the inside back cover of issue #1, 2002.
The issue #1, 2000 featured my English Cottage and The Palms .
Issue #2, 2000 featured my H0 scale Moomin house, plus my directions for making a basic table and bed in 1:48 scale
