Boredom roses

I have some usual busy days around- school is starting very soon, and to be honest, I didn't really feel like creating anything, except a solved Rubik's cube. I knew I can do it, this is one of the most inspiring successes of my life! :D
While taking a break, I made a rose, just from some scrap clay. I'm working on another project, which I will reveal soon. While I had a visitor around, playing with it resulted in a rose. Nevr felt like making any, but OK, if it was half ready, let's just finish it! Another piece for my magnet collection, since I have no idea, what to do with it!

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!

Garlic strings #2 - Size comparison

This is how the 1/18 garlic strings ended up! It's a "little" smaller then the previous one... I had a hard time gluing these tiny garlics to the raffia braid, when I finished, my hands were just like some rotten zombie's hands, when the skin is peeling off... Yuck!!! Yeah, superglue is 'fun' to use! I had to check around if I can find something for superglue-removal, and found that nail polish remover with acetone works just fine with it - though it took some time to wash it off. I'd better get some tweezers, if I still need the skin on my hand, ha!

The new, 1/18 garlic strings compared to a coin!
The old, unmeasured (approx. 1/8) garlic strings

Garlic strings

They are ready! Woot-woot! I made some unmeasured garlis strings, which I just finished, and I can't stand to post it immediately! Made those for Tandy, for her shadow boxes. Some more are in progress, in 1:18 scale, that takes a bit more time though... still working on the raffia braids. Can't wait to show you the size comparison!
