About LDelaney
From the Studio of New Orleans's Mysterious Miniaturist...
From a haunted mansion in the New Orleans Garden District, Lady Delaney crafts miniatures, mysteries, and miniature mysteries. She is assisted in these endeavors by two gentlemanly tuxedoed cats, and the New Orleans ghosts. Her time at art school was unremarkable and warrants no further exposition here. The products you see before you today are the result of self-taught exploration, a slightly unruly nature, and much garbage digging.
Since launching her modest miniature storefront on Etsy in 2009, Lady has gone on to catch the attention of publishers, curators, and window dresserers, with her creations infiltrating international private collections, the National Building Museum in DC, solo exhibitions, and numerous national publications. In 2017, her DIY book, All Dolled Up, was a #1 New Release on Amazon. Her freelance career includes stints collaborating with Tiffany & Co., Monique Lhuillier, and FAO Schwarz. Her musings have appeared in the Etsy Seller Handbook and Atlas Obscura.
Lady Delaney is delight to communicate with Etsy patrons via her handler, Lauren Delaney George, who happens to share many of the aforementioned biographical details. They, along with the cats, look forward to helping you create the perfect custom project or extra special gift.

Though Bandit (aka Mister Biscuit) began his career in the miniature shadows, he has since become famous in the sartorial realm for his collection of bowties. Each parcel receives his trademark stamp of approval---a bit of fur in the shipping tape.
