Steve Beebe's Minis

The amount of detail that goes into Steve Beebe's miniatures absolutely amazes me. He loves crafting these Lloyd Wright style houses in various forms. If you are interested in a version of this house, Steve has offered to craft you one for $95 (basically a wholesale price). It would include furnishings. You can request a house that has furniture glued into place, or a packet of loose furnishings. Contact Steve and mention you saw this offer on this blog; his email is on his website stevebeebe.com.

Steve also does custom order work and has dozens of ideas for modern miniatures but hasn't crafted them yet because he hasn't found a way to reach the buyers. He loves to craft anything from the Frank LLoyd Wright style to Mid Century and current modern. Not to mention pop-cultural 60's and 70's. He currently has a model of Aristotle Onassis' yacht that's sized to fit one inch (or half inch) rooms. But the buyer would have to either like various boats or just happen to have a 60's era room that could use a conversation piece. He'd like to craft more modern yacht models to fit doll houses.

These two miniature model railroads are crafted in the style of a theme park are truly impressive. I think I would go blind trying to build these myself.

Steve is always looking to craft more FLW in 1/144 and micro sizes. As well as other modern house designs. Another idea is modern architectural models for dollhouse rooms. And 60's and 70's shadow boxes sized to fit in one inch dollhouse rooms.

Please keep the photos coming Steve, I love to see (and share) your work.

More Steve Beebe

So Steve does sell directly to individuals. You can contact him through his website stevebeebe.com. The website is currently under construction, but will have new photos when completed.

Pictured are two pieces currently for sale on SP Miniatures. I could just eat the 1 1/4" x 1" Gingerbread castle. I like the shape of the 1:144 scale French Riviera market.

Steve's goal is to craft one-of-a-kind pieces and design unique ideas. A lot of his pieces have ben custom orders. He welcomes special requests. He is currently in the process of finding someone to take his work (either purchase or consignment) on the show scene and for shops interested in showing his work. If you have any leads drop him a line.

Steve Beebe Found

To recap, as I'm guessing not everyone reads the comments... a few days ago I posted Modern MC's photo of the 1:144 scale Fallingwater dollhouse made by Steven Beebe. Callsmall was in NYC shortly after and went into a dollhouse store on the Upper East Side, Tiny Doll House, where they had some very nice looking 1:144 houses by none other than Steven Beebe. There was even a Frank Lloyd Wright-looking house. Callsmall found out that the owner (who wasn't there) deals with Beebe directly. It seemed like he is an artisan who sells directly to specialty stores. Callsmall was planning to call to speak to the owner to learn more.

After reading Callsmall's comments, I searched again and found Steven Beebe's website. I had been searching under "Steven Bebe" but just thought to look for "Steve" instead and lo and behold there was his website with an additional e in his last name. D'oh. I can't believe I didn't find it sooner. stevebeebe.com. Sadly, there are no photos of his work on the website, but I'm sending him an email to beg for photos to post. Steven your work is amazing! We'd love to see more of it!!!

Here is some info on the artist from his website:
Steven B.A. Beebe is an established New York based artist specializing in hand crafted "one of a kind" miniatures & architectural scale models.

Steve began crafting scale models and miniatures at the age of 14. While interning as a graphic design artist at James River Corp. in Richmond, VA, his first works were sold locally at a popular specialty shop. College courses such as 3-Dimensional Graphic Design, Package Design and art theory classes enhanced the imagination and construction behind Steve's miniature crafting.

His work was soon represented by Dean Jenson of Rainbow Design as well as such noted miniature enthusiasts as Flora Gill Jacobs at the Washington Toy Museum.

His work has also been featured in publications such as "Nutshell News" and "Miniature Collector Magazine." Although based in New York, the time Steve has spent in California has influenced his work with a decidedly "west coast" feel. Adding to that is a hint of pop culture that is both unique and impressive amid today's miniature scene.

1:144 dream dollhouses

Modern MC showcased this 1:144 scale Frank Lloyd Wright Falling Water dollhouse made by Steven Bebe in these two blog posts a few years back in her Malibu Beach DH and Kaleidoscope House. Ever since I have been looking on ebay with no luck for similar gems.

I love the work Oese is doing in 1:144. This red and white apartment building was on ebay. I as well couldn't buy it, but I love Oese's version of it. Here are more pictures of it on her blog, Raum für Raum.

Here is Oese's Villa Sibi that she made as a custom order.

Another one of Oese's houses that I love is her version of the Green Condo with Roof Garden from the Green Dollhouse Project. Here are more pictures and details on the building of this mini house.



As well as Oese's collection of mini miniatures and shot of her mini-workshop.
