I am a long time Hobbet and LOTR fan, they have all been read and listened to from audio books hundreds of times. I love the detail of your hobbit hole, the pictures exude richness and the essence of what a hobbit hole should be. A long process to be sure but a wonderful journey to there and back!

definitely enjoyed coming across your site

This looks really amazing!! You’ve inspired me to try and make one. I’m trying to make a smaller version, but I’m struggeling with the sizes/scale. May I ask, what is the diameter of your front door of the hobbit hole? 🙂

Hi Maddie, absolutely a huge fan of your work:) I run an animation company in Sweden called Meindbender animation studio (www.meindbender.com) and have a project here you might be interested in teaming up on. If you are curious about it. just shoot me a message on michael@meindbender.com
All the best, and keep up the amazing work!

Wow Maddie!
Your work is absolutely amazing. I would love to create my own doll house or other miniature project but have never done anything like this before.
Just wondering if you have any tips or resources for someone who is hoping to start out in the world of miniatures??

Amazing work, stumbled across this while looking for photos as reference for a birthday cake. Your modelling skills are amazing, very VERY impressive work!
May 27, 2014 at 2:04 am |
I want to be you when I grow up…LOL! Way cool! I have neither the patience nor talent to do something like this…this is awesome!
March 2, 2014 at 4:35 am |
Oh my goodness your work is AWESOME!!! It is so cool how you make nearly everything, all the way down to little details like food! I especially love the tree house, it is so amazing! I also love making dolls houses but never as amazing as these… maybe one day;) Keep it up I’m impressed, it must be so much fun:) I’d love to come see them in person someday!!

HI Maddie
This is just an incredible work.
I use to look at some picture on google images and i was 100% sure that the entrance of the house was actually of a full size one.
You wrote in the text that it can be hire. What are the conditions?
I ask because we will start a project in 2015 to build a few real hobbit houses and this could fit for the community to see what they have to do:)

Hiya if you go to this website and use the contact us section Peter will tell you http://proudfootesq.com

Great project! I have been looking all over, Rik Pierce is a great builder of miniatures as well and has a hobbit hole home over at frogmorton.com
I am wanting to build a even smaller one for my sister who is a big Hobbit fan, for a coffee table or perhaps the base for a table lamp. Beautiful work. You can always use construction foam as well and just layer it then cut to sculpt shape.

I am also making a hobbit hole for an English project on the hobbit.. its gonna be cardboard and paper so i highly doubt it’ll be ANYTHING like this. I sincerely applaud you. May your hair never fall.

It is a marvel and a masterpiece of the miniature art form! Well done!
(‘Though it doesn’t match the floor plan by either J.R.R. Tolkien or of the movie.)

very beautiful! do you sell your work? where?
November 4, 2013 at 8:55 pm |
I just discovered your work via a friend who passed your Brambley Hedge blog on to me. I am also a HUGE Hobbit/LOTR fan, you capture the details and the magical essence of these places to perfection! Thank you for your work!
July 12, 2013 at 2:43 pm |
Truly Impresses! Its just perfect!

Loved looking through here — just fascinated with all you did and how wonderful it is —- you mention foam — here in America we have a insulating product that is in a spray can – called _ GREAT STUFF – it is used to spray around a house area to block drafts in nooks and crannies where the air leaks through — it is the same yellow color — there are two other types – the yellow expands so in a tight area it may ‘blow out ‘ holes or put pressure where you don’t want it — the others have a fill space and then stop expanding —
This is the website to the page from DOW corp – it shows the other products as well —- hope it helps looking forward to any other projects you do –

I have throughly enjoyed looking at all your pictures! You are so very very talented. I am envious!
January 13, 2013 at 11:13 am |
Since “The Hobbit” has just arrived in our local Theatre in Canada, I am looking forward to seeing the movie and seeing how well you have replicated the house! You have a fabulous talent which equals the talent of my friend Bonnie. (She made a Mouse’s Christmas with a tree for the Festival of Trees.) I could only wish I had half your talent whilst making toys for my Early Childhood Education Diploma!
You did ace your assignment by the way?
Thanks for taking the time to post this for the world to see.. Hi to your wee boys!

December 21, 2012 at 2:20 pm |
Je suis un fan inconsidéré de Tolkien et du monde qu’il a créé. Mais là je suis scotché par cette réalisation. Tout simplement PHENOMENAL ! Ne t’arrête surtout pas là… j’en veux encore, rien que pour mes yeux. Bravo !

Bonjour,

Hi, I’ve finished reading “The Hobbit” recently and now I have a 3D project to do that has to be about 2-3ft and it has to hang from the ceiling. I was thinking of making a mini version of smaug’s lair. any ideas? I don’t know what to do! Especially having it hang from the ceiling, but I’m worried my project might be too heavy and it will fall. Please help, it’s due this week!
October 24, 2012 at 10:46 pm |
I was impressed with the dollhouse of “The Lord of the Rings”, specifically the home of Bilbo Baggins ….. I am passionate about the dioramas and take time thinking about making a diorama of the same subject …….. my sincere congratulations because you have been great ……..

Thanks from an American Hobbit fan. I too read the Hobbit and Trilogy every year in October. Very good hibernation month read. I love your house! Don’t worry about the curmudgeons who don’t like your walls! They are just jealous of your artistic talents and would never do this project themselves!
I am curious how much this cost to make. (Hope it is not rude to ask.) Laura
October 6, 2012 at 9:12 am |
Hi Laura thanks for the lovely comments. I actually have no idea how much it cost to make – everything I bought was spread over 11 months and I didn’t write it all down – one of my regrets! On my latest project (mouse house) I wrote a list of all the costs to keep track! I can tell you that the flooring was the most expensive bit and the wooden wall panelling oh and the lighting – probably all that alone cost about $250
September 24, 2012 at 3:02 pm |
Great, wonderful work!! All the best from us!
September 22, 2012 at 8:07 am |
