Nearly done with my Paladin. Again, this is an old metal mini from the early 2000s that I had put off painting for fear of messing him up. It is a miracle I've kept up with his shield for 20+ years. #dndmini #paintingminiatures #miniaturepainting

My future son-in-law asked if we could manage a sword in the dice (stone) accessory for wedding boutonnieres. Here is my first go at making some. #dndwedding #d20

I could not leave the red dragon alone and did some more layers trying to add a little more depth. #dndmini #miniaturepainting

I am still working on this storm giant. I may set him aside a bit and focus on something else for a while. I am struggling with his cloud shield right now. Although, I did get some neon paints in to attempt glowy stuff soon. #dndmini #paintingminiature #miniaturepainting

When I was little, my dad bought me kid workbooks to study math, science, and writing. I thought these were so fun, like puzzle books and they came with stickers too. I never grew out of enjoying workbooks. I am in my 40s now and still being curious, although I have to buy my own stickers now.

Last night, I finished the Red Dragon for my husband's campaign. I used it as an opportunity to practice blending. I think I did alright, but I still have a ways to go. #dndmini #paintingminiature #miniaturepainting

The storm giant is slow going, but I'm still making progress. I keep hesitating on trying to do the glowy lightening. #dndmini #miniaturepainting #paintingminiature

The most successful I have been with sticking to exercising and losing weight is when I play Beat Saber every morning. I sometimes feel like I am the only one in the world who still absolutely loves this game. You just cant beat light sabers and music. #beatsaber #getinshape

I enjoy the isometric type maps. This one is really nice.

I added base color to the storm giant. This took a bit of time, but I am happy with the dark blue I mixed. I plan to watch some how-to videos to figure out how best to approach adding depth and layering colors. #dndminiatures #miniaturepainting #paintingminiatures

Obsessed with fantasy maps and tabletop campaign writing. Right now, I am all in on creating things in miniature, painting miniatures, and hand drawing maps! Here is the first map I created with India ink and coffee.

Back from a trip finally and decided to go ahead and prime a group of minis today. Some my husband printed and some were store bought. I have a few in here that are the old pewter ones as well. #dndminiatures #paintingminis #miniaturepainting #ttrpg

My kids and husband have been asking for me to continue the dnd campaign I was writing. I have been putting it off since I keep trying to upskill for work in my free time. Now, I think I need to lean more into what gives me joy. So, I am back to writing and painting minis and feeling much better.

#hobbystreak day 4. The print is rough with shallow gaps. I decided to pack in the gaps with a PVA glue mixture I made a long time ago. It may peel or turn yellow, but I thought it was worth a go. I am not stressed about it since I feel more free experimenting with painting techniques on it.

Wish I could have gone. I learned to read with Elf Quest and my local comic book store puts any of the old ones they find aside for me. Love this comic!

#hobbystreak Day 3. My husband printed a frost giant for me and I got it all trimmed up. I still need to smooth out some of the wonky print lines. I am debating on how I want to approach that. #paintingminiatures #dnd #miniaturepainting

The YouTuber, Sarah Burns, mentioned she likes to spray her gouache travel paints with water that includes a bit of clove essential oil to deter mold. Now, I spritz my wet palette with the same stuff and I associate the smell of cloves with hobby time. #paintingminiatures

#hobbystreak day 2. I added some layers. I also realized today that my hobby streak will be short this round as I have to go on a plane soon and am unable to take all my paints and minis. I will try to continue to sketch and write on my trip though. #ttrpg #dnd #paintingminiatures #minipainting

My husband suggested I pick a monster ttrpg mini to repaint every few months so I can compare my painting learning progress. I said that is a good idea, but can't decide and he can pick for me...He selected a frost giant. I think that is the opposite of mini, but it will be fun.

Hello, it me, the #HobbyStreak guy. Paint your models, or don't, I'm not your mum. (But hobbystreaking can be a great way to get small, consistent, incremental progress on getting stuff finished. Give it a go!)

I just pulled out a 20 year piece today! Although mine was for DND or Pathfinder and I always wanted to get into painting and never started. It does feels nice and nostalgic regardless. Your painting looks great!

I saw the #hobbystreak and would like to have a go too! Today is Day 1. I picked out this pewter figure I bought years ago (20 yrs?). She is a favorite and I've been afraid I'd mess her up. But I am trying to be less precious with my items. #paintingminiatures #ttrpg #miniaturepainting

My first painted mini. It is a bit of a hot mess, but I had fun and want to keep practicing. My husband printed it and the support bits were really messy, so that is why the figure is kind of scraggly too. #paintingminiatures #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #minifig

I finished the last miniature kit I had. It was Kiki's Magic Emporium by Rolife. Now onto personal projects. I am thinking of getting into scratch building or trash bashing for tabletop games. Maybe even learn to paint minis. More to come. #rolifeminiatures #miniaturekit #miniatures

Becky @readsallthings.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

I have become addicted to miniatures. I have one more pre-made kit to complete and then I plan to get started on making my own creations. I have also been watching a lot of kitbashing videos and getting ideas. #diyminiaturekit #miniatures

What I have learned in the miniature world so far is "It lights up!" has nearly as much excitement as "It has pockets!" does in the fashion world. #miniatures #miniature #madebyhand

The more I work and game at my PC and the more AI keeps popping up everywhere, the more I need to create with my hands. Right now I'm working on a Flever coffee house miniature kit and I am firmly hooked on crafting miniatures. #madebyhand #disconnect #miniatures #dollhouse

A trick to start a journaling habit, is to keep your journal where you sit to relax. I started keeping a journal where I sit and sip coffee in the am, and somce then, I have been writing consistently since October.

I am learning to draw and sometimes when I am feeling frustrated, I grab a free to use photo from Pexels and try to quickly scribble draw it. It helps me remember to relax. This scribble draw is based on a photo by Kübra Çetin.
