Fences are funny things. The ones in these photos are meant to protect the people behind them from fast flying balls. I was happy on several occasions that the fence was there. Fences can serve as enclosures for safety, but they can also serve as dividing lines. You stay on your side, please. You are not like me. Stay away. Thankfully, this fence was for a good purpose.

I have worked a bit with the Arthur House and here you see the kitchen counter. I bought a green one that i painted white and I have borrowed a stove from my big cabinet. I have not decide yet if I will have a modern stove or a slightly older model. I´have made some potatoes from sculpey as well... Here is a spot from the living room. I have a new cabinet and I also made a redone of a brown sofa, that I painted white and swithed to a new fabric. Next thing to do is to sew curtains and putting up more pictures... I would need a carpet of course, do you have any suggestions? You have already seen the bathroom but it´s a few new details in here as the mirror ,that I picked from my old Lundby dollhouse, it was in a perfect size. Then there is a toothbrush holder and a glass from Chrysnbon. Here is new small bird pantings in the bedroom... Show more pics later on...

This week I worked on more items for the shop ... sewing machines and embroidery floss. I found photos of sewing machines on Google images and carved four from contractor's foam board. It's a type of styrofoam with a fairly dense quality. I used an X-acto knife to carve them and an emery board (split lengthwise) to sand them relatively smooth. They got a couple coats of gesso with very gentle sanding between the coats. Bits of dowels held with superglue formed knobs and wheels.They were painted with a satin finish white paint and detailed with craft paint and markers. The photo shows some irregularities in the surface that are not that apparent when seen with the naked eye. I didn't try to put needles and presser feet on them. When set up in the workroom, they'll have bits of sewing in progress that will hide the fact that they're not anatomically correct. With the machines finished, I turned to embroidery floss. I saw some on one of the miniature shop websites. It didn't appear to be in scale, especially the black paper wrap label. I tried to make some with 1/32" detailing tape but it was just too small to wrap back on itself. Or more precisely, the tape was too small for my big fingers! I switched to tying off the skeins with two threads from real life floss. A square knot held it. This is the jig I rigged up. (That's a scrap of contractors foam.) The pins are 3/8" apart and being wrapped with a single strand of floss in a figure eight -- about 9 inches works well. I cut a tiny slit in the edge of the foam to hold the two tails while I tied the black floss. It's tedious but far more workable than the tape challenge. One piece of floss makes six skeins. This is the result of a couple of hours of work. They must be glued onto some kind of display rack or in a box, as they are so tiny that the least breath of air sends them airborne. For scale, the yellow lines are one inch apart.

Om te laten zien wat je allemaal zou kunnen maken met bierdoppen/kroonkurken als basis, heb ik nog een paar knutsels gemaakt. Met wat houtjes, kralen, ijzerdraad of groen, zijn er leuke dingen te maken.
Этот чайник со свистком выполнен из ручки выдвижного ящика тумбочки. Так уж получилось, что из-за относительно больших размеров, он имеет нетрадиционный для кукольной миниатюры масштаб: 1 к 10. К тому же, свисток чайника не свистит, а это, как вы понимаете, меня никак не устраивает. :)…
Het slopen van een wegwerpaansteker, op veel plaatsen voor een habbekrats te koop , levert je een boodschappenwagen vol miniatuur-bouwmaterialen op. Knopjes, veertjes, [kraan]leertjes : een voorraad waar je niet een twee drie op uitgekeken bent [en uitgedroomd over alle mogelijkheden]. Hier ga ik niet uitweiden over een veertje voor een duveltje in een doosje of de mogelijkheid van een boorkop[nummer 14] of een voetpedaal voor de vuilnisemmer [nr.7].....en….en….. Het slopen: Trek, met een tang, het bovenstuk van de [lege !] aansteker af en let er vervolgens op dat er geen kleinere onderdelen aan je aandacht ontsnappen of wegspringen. Voor het tevoorschijn toveren van het kleine rubber ringetje even met een prikker in het gaatje van nr.8 morrelen.
