Dorota Mateusiak,  IGMA Artisan

I am Lady Fanaberia and this is my Miniature World. I live in Poland and „Fanaberia” in Polish means ‚a caprice’, so it’s a sudden and usually silly wish to have or do something.

I love to make kitchen appliances, accessories and decorations. I’m making fridges, stoves, dish washers, microwaves, small appliances (like toasters, kettles or stand mixers), metal pots, kitchenware, metal wall storage system and many, many others…

I’m an engineer. I graduated Cracow University of Technology in 2009 and obtained a masters in Civil Engineering. I have been working for few years as bridge engineer but some day I discovered miniatures  and then I decided to connect all handicraft techniques known to me, but also the engineering precision and my architectural sense.

In 2012 I started a blog:  minifanaberia.blogspot.com 

In 2014 I started my own business and sell my handmade items.

And in 2018 I became an IGMA Artisan (in  'Accessories/Home Appliances’ category.

Now making miniatures is the meaning of my life  I’m so happy that I can meet other miniaturists, take part in international miniature shows and visit new places.
