Hi everyone,

I have a few updates to share this week: a mix of a new DIY project, a fresh forum discussion, free printables, and a small New Year treat in my Etsy shop.

Happy New Year by the way!

A new corrugated cardboard project

Last week, I shared my first sturdy dollhouse furniture project made from corrugated cardboard.

I’ve now added a second build to the same tutorial: a small drawer cabinet.
If you’re curious how far you can push cardboard as a material, you can find both projects here:

Rolife/Robotime vs. Anavrin — what’s really the difference?

I also published a new forum post where I compare Anavrin with Rolife / Robotime miniature kits.

This post combines my own findings with opinions and experiences I found online, so it’s not just my perspective.

You can read the full comparison here:

==> On a personal note: This kit is one that I am in the middle of assembling by Anavrin: Lijiang Ancient Town book nook.

Compared to the Anavrin bakery I built before, this one is much more delicate and challenging. Beautiful, but definitely not a relaxed evening build this time! More to come!
