There's two kinds of people. Those who love to make tiny things and those who do not. Well, I guess there are other kinds of people in the world, but we won't go there right now. Any new craft I learn, I've got to figure out how to make a miniature version. And so it is with coiled baskets. Another thing I love is untangling embroidery floss. When all the threads are neatly in their proper places, I feel like I've won the battle and can go forth into the world with no fear. So, one day, after untangling a...

Maker of tiny things
László Adóba is one of the best diorama builder I know and I'm a big fan. I recommended his previous books here, in my blog before, now there is a new one. Of course I already have it (actually it's a dedicated gift from the author) and it's just wonderful. The descrition of the book and the sample pages are from László Adóba's website (http://adobadiorama.hu/), where you can buy all of his books. In the second volume of Building Dioramas, Im going to present the process of creating everyday objects, some of them being absolutely common, others being less conventional. Recognizing tiny manifestations of things met regularly in real life makes much deeper impression in the viewer than objects seen rarely or never at all during our lives. Dioramas built using familiar accessories will seem much more life-like as the viewer gets involved easily at the very first sight. The book presents the detailed description of making more than 50 diorama accessories. Pieces of furniture, bathroom equipment, kinds of food and some metal objects take shape in front of the reader in 5 chapters on 78 pages. There are several simple pieces made of common materials, as well as more complex ones that need some special equipment and ingredients. This way beginners may find the book just as helpful as advanced modellers. The text is illustrated with more than 400 colour photos to make building much easier.

Hi everyone, I just wanted to share my latest little house I'm calling the White Cottage which I completed in about 5 days and over 30 hours of work. Its made out of heavy duty cardboard and I was inspired again when I should be taking a break from creating, but once again I thought I cant sit still I have to create something. Plus a couple weeks before I tried my hand at making some wing back chairs. I was inspired by a white wing back chair that is pictured below. So I made a rough pattern from it and did my best to teach myself how to create my own chairs, plus attended 1 couch, which was my first attempt. I think I enjoyed making them even though I think I can build a house quicker than I can build a chair lol.... but I am always in a hurry, and was able to create a chair in about 1 1/2 hours. Not to bad, if I would dedicate more time I think I could get better. But I'm not sure if I'm a furniture builder, it wasn't as fun as creating a house. I hope you all enjoy the pictures.. Have a Wondeful Month. Stan. The white chair was the inspiration chair I thought I would attempt to create. The floral chair is the first attempt, which I had a hard time on the arms and it turned out more of a fantasy looking cottage chair. The checkered chair was my second attempt. This floral chair was my third attempt which I really liked the line. and I simplified the arms. The chair on the far left which is below which was the hardest since I used an old curtain for material and the material was 3 times as thick, which was way to hard to glue and shape. This was the hardest attempt since I used to heavy of material. I had no legs around so I found some beads and glued together. My first attempt at making a couch that matched the lines of the wing back chair. Its far from perfect, but I have adjusted the pattern I made, but now out of energy and inspiration to create another one. At least I know I can always build my own furniture to furnish my houses I build if I ever need to.
