Furniture

I’m over a very busy weekend, again. Last time I wished for more like this, now I think I had enough for at least a month!

I have spent the weekend at the Factory, to catch up with the requests and commissions. We had a request, which really got to my mind, so it wasn’t so hard to take it in my hands,

The style was the 30’s style. I googled up a few ideas, and chose some tutorials for my first few cardstock furniture. Kris’ blog is becoming one of my favourites, she does really awesome stuff and so detailed tutorials!

Since I have no tools for woodcraft, I have to use cardstock and different papers for my furniture, and I enjoy creating them more than I thought at first.

This is not the whole roombox, just a few materials I chose to make a composition. I also made a desk with a (pretty lame) typewriter, ink and quill and a lamp. First try, hard success. Well, I did my best, I hope!

I got some more clay this weekend. I bought a pack of porcelain puppen, I was a bit afraid of it, because I needed it for and exchange of normal white, which is pretty expensive. For real brightwhite, it's pretty lame. But for color mixing, no better is needed. Fortunately got a pack of classic white too.  I rarely work with real white, I hate the visible dust on it... It's a pain to clean up!

Weekend

I was out of town for two days, and was at shopping yesterday... I got a bunch of new experience and a bag of new stuff, just to increase the chaos around my desk!

Let's check them one-by-one!

I brought my very own display shadow box yesterday from Tandy, which I had already filled up with my finished miniatures. Well, some of them are from the beginning, from the old past, some are new, some are messed up, but I want to arrange them here, using an approximate time scale to see, how I improve day by day. I feel that this will be a great inspiration in the future!



Still have my box unfinished - should go for it again!

On Sunday, I was at the model car fair, where we had a HUGE haul... Actually, just Tandy had, but I also got two 1:18 motorbikes for myself. One of them is a bit damaged, but I plan to build it in a diorama some day! Now I need a shelf to display them!




And yesterday we did the regular monthly shopping, and I checked in KIK to see, if I can find something useful for the household. But I have found more! Over a bunch of kitchen stuff, two scissors, and a new hairbrush, I got these AWESOME little plastic cabinets! They were pretty cheap, so I instantly got 4!



I won't even mention the minor stuff, like the fabric, paper, and other useful stuff I got from friends and from stores. Whew, I wish more weekends like this!

Bull skull charm

This one is not actually a miniature. A "regular" sized charm, the distance between the two horns is 8cms. "He" ended up in a Western Style Shadow Box, created by Tandy. :)

The whole "thing" is made of polymer clay, detailed with soft pastels and acrylic paint. I like how it ended up, a bit old, washed almost clean white by time, just as it would turn up in the old west :)


Antique, old and a bit broken effect

 
Would like to try it in 1:12 and 1:18 scale :)

Improvisation :)

The finished Shadow Box by Tandy ! One of the bests so far!

Co-production time! #1

Well, let me show you this real co-production job! In this bakery, you can see 3 different person's work. So let's see, who is behind the "crime"!

- The arrangement is my partner's, Tandy's work, who's main line is the Shadow Box decoration, which she does with AMAZING sense for furnishing! She cuts, paints, glue, and does all the messy job for us! You can check her site here: http://tandykacatgyar.jimdo.com/

- The wooden shop is created by Attila Székely, who is an excellent, amazing, jaw-dropping good wood-sculptor! Check his products on his site, and you'll be amazed! http://www.szekelyattilafaszobrasz.hu/

- And finally, my job was the content of the bakery, the miniature bread, baguette, croissant, and all the different stuff you can see! I enjoyed this one soooo much!

Now, you have met the team, take some time, to visit their site, and enjoy the beauty they share! I promise, you'll be satisfied!

Ready, steady, eat!
