This is a bag of miniature bears. Their legs and arms seem to be able to move.
In this picture, are a dollhouse toilet, the bears show above, a bag of tiny shells,
a wooden barrel, two dressers or desks, a wooden sandal picture frame and corner
picture thingies I plan to use to make miniature desk calendars with.
I bought these cheap pirate figures at a Walmart in the souvenir section of the store.
I bought this box of tiny colored shells for $4.00 at a gift shop on a pier.
This is a heavy gold pineapple I found at a Goodwill store.
It is about 2 inches tall.
I got this from a gift shop.
This is a mermaid laying on a folding chair.
I plan to remove her from the chair, and recover the chair.
I will use the mermaid in another scene.
The above record album holder only cost me $1.00!
The gold pieces above were also a great find at another antique store.
I bought these for only $5.00!
This is my most recent homemade miniature that I made. I made this laptop computer from black polymer clay, something I have not used much but want to. The screen and keyboard images I got off the internet.
The Living Room
This room is basically done except for decorating
and adding curtains.
The Living Room
The Dinning Room
Though the hutch does not match the table and chairs,
I still like it. I need to polish the hutch and fill it as well as
decorate the table.
The Kitchen
I love this kitchen!
I still need to add some curtains
and maybe more upper cabinets.
I am probably going to add a small table and chairs
in the bay window section for the four children
who will live here. This will be the families
informal table.
This was going to be an office/den, but I think I am going to
use it as a guest room, as this big family of six will almost always
have family visiting them, probably from my other three modern day
dollhouses.
Another view of the guest room. I need to change the bedding to match the room colors
and add some items like a lamp and curtains. I also need to add baseboards and a railing for
the steps as well as a door.
This is the master bedroom, the parent's bedroom.
I got the baseboards all in place, and they are ready to
move into this bedroom. Oh, and we will need to add some
curtains of course as well as a door.
The Bathroom
This room is done except for decorating and furnishing it
as well as adding a shower curtain.
The Girls Bedroom
I need to add baseboards, finish hanging curtains, add steps and fill in some cracks
and spaces where the walls come together. I am going to add a bunk bed for the girls.
The Boys Room
Poor boys! They have to share a smaller room, but those things happen
in real life, too. This room still needs baseboards, a second door in which to enter
and I need to figure out how to fill in the openings in the wall in order to
give it a more realistic appearance. I am probably going to use foamboard, but
figuring out how to measure and fit it is the challenge!
Second Floor Family Room
This area will be used as the entertaining room for the kids and their multitude of
mini friends. The family room is mostly done. The room you see straight ahead is
the second floor bathroom the kids will all share. It is not complete yet and still a
contractor's mess, lol.
Another view of the Family Room
Shown in the picture is a small fridge in which the kids are allowed to use
in the family room. Boy, these kids are spoiled!!!!
Beach Ball
I made this simple beach ball by painting a ping pong ball four colors.
These are erasers. I either bought them at Walmart or Meijer.
Some of them are too big to use in a miniature scene, but some are
usable. You could also rework them to make them more 1:12 scale.
Spring Wreath
I made this in my local miniature club. This is a wreath (I don't remember what kind of wreath it is) with scrapbook confetti stuff glued on. I also don't remember what this stuff is called.
Fall Decoration
Also made this in my local miniature club.
Antique Crackle Chair
I also made this in my local miniature club.
We assembled the plastic chair, painted it black then it was sprayed with crackle spray paint.
A hole was cut into the seat and the plant was placed through the hole.
Recycle Bins
I just love this living room! I used brown felt for carpet.
In the dinning room,
I used mini hardwood flooring.
I made a seat cushion for the window seat
from foam and covered it with white fabric.
I also glued on long gold beads under the window seat
to give the impression that the bottom drawer pulls out for storage.
For the kitchen,
I bought this miniature stable at Michael's for around $5.99 or so.
I am going to kitbash it and make it into a shed for one of my dollhouses.
Stay tuned for the finished product!
