Hi there!

I’m Miriam Stone, a miniaturist, diorama artist, visual storyteller, and the almost-fully-human behind Miniature Werewolf. I make tiny things in my studio located in the Seattle, WA area of the upper left corner of the USA.

Miniatures are inherently joyful and playful, with a tremendous capacity to tell stories. I like to use them to explore themes of “optimistic darkness” in my work using humor, social critique, and surrealism. I work with materials such as wood, clay, paint, leather, and paper to create 1:12 scale scenes that are meant to transport the viewer into spaces that might just be a little…off. I have hidden displays that honor librarians in a library, post office workers in a parcel locker, and generally am up for any project that brings a little magic to the world. I also have an affinity for creating 1:12 suitcases that tell a story with their contents.

The name “Miniature Werewolf” is related to my large semi-autobiographical & ever-evolving project called “The Werehouse”, a retelling of Red Riding Hood & the Big Bad Wolf using a dollhouse as the stage. I’ll warn you now that it’s mostly about the transformation of perimenopause, and Red Riding Hood IS the werewolf.

I’m excited to share my creations with you! Don’t hesitate to get in touch.
