Modification

Category: Furniture 1/12". Posted by mum2 at 19:46.
I modified an earlier decorated bed and closet. The furniture has been given a polished oak-look. The closet is now filled with drapes and towels. The bedlinnen is completely replaced by satin sheets and bedspread.
The fabric the carpets are made of, was bought on the market last saterday. It’s thin towelfabric.

The killing fields

I decided to take apart an ugly kitchensink.
To match the green table and chairs, i painted it in the same way.
It looks a lot nicer now.

Patience needed.

An excercice in patience.
I proudly present: the carpet. It’s made from thin rope and it took me a whole week to finish it.

Doll

Even a dollhouse doll needs a doll.
By means of a workshop on the internet Leentjes.net, i made a very small doll. It’s size: 3,5 cm.
Later on i’ll try to make the same doll, with quickdrytacky glue, instead of thread. I ordert it in the UK earlyer this week.

The Small World

Category: Furniture 1/12". Posted by mum2 at 19:10.
Last weekend, i drove with my son and his girlfrend to Nieuwpoort, which has a very romantic marketplace, to find a Miniatureshop: The Small World.

We saw some very beautiful doll houses, miniature furniture and all you can think of in 1/12 scale. The lady, who owns the shop, builds her own doll houses, from the bottom to the roof.

I picked up two porch-seats which i completed with a self-made table, newspaper and magazine.

This closet came as a present from my son and his girlfriend. It stayed in his box for quite some time.
During a few days off from work i filled it with some shirts and towels.

Gypsy moth

We found a big coccoon in the garden and let it come out in a box in the livingroom. It happened to be a Gypsy moth. The females are beautiful, but can’t fly.
