Ihka ekat roomboxit lähenevät valmistumistaan

Ministelynukkisteluharrastus on saanut pienimuotoista potkua viimeaikoina kun olen värkkäillyt paria swappitavara-aiheista boksia vitriiniin. Näissä oli ideana laittaa näytille ja "varastoida" jollain mukavalla tavalla kaikki ne tavarat jotka olen saanut lahjaksi, vaihdossa tai jotka olen joskus jostain ostanut (ja ehkä hieman tuunannut). Seassa on muutama perushuonekalu, jotka jouduin rakentelemaan ihan vaan jotta kokonaisuus olisi kuitenkin eheä. Tällaisia tavaroita olivat keittiön liesituuletinhylly, uuni/liesi, jääkaappi, keittiötaso, parvisänky ja keittiönpöytä. Vintille olen pykännyt kaksi tavarahyllyä tavaroita varten, ja muutaman puulaatikon varastointia varten. Muutoin irtaimisto on monen taitavan käden jälkeä. Niin monen, joten en valitettavasti saa tähän jokaiikkaa nimettyä, tiedätte kuitenkin keitä olette ja suuret kiitokset teille näistä! Aiemmista blogipostauksista voi myös hieman bongailla kuka on lähettänyt ja mitä (myös viimejoulun puuttuvista swappiluukuista on tulossa takautuvasti postaus kohta puoliin, jotta kaikki olisi ainakin jollain tavoin mainittuna). 

Tässä siis hieman mummohtava yksiö:

Yksiön veski on rajattu kuvasta nyt pois, koska sieltä puuttuu vielä vessakalusto. Kuvaan sen erikseen sitten kun se valmistuu. Hellasta tuli ruskea, koska valkoinen massa sattui olemaan niin vähissä. Tykkäsin että se sopii tähän huusholliin ihan tuollaisenaankin.

Tässä vinttihuone. Viistokattoa kannattelee tässä kuvassa vielä pari palaa maalarinteippiä kun se on vastikään kiinnitetty paikoilleen. Teipit eivät siis kuulu vakiovarustukseen vaan lähtevät poies kunhan liima on kuivunut. Mie vaan hätäilin ottamaan näitä kuvia. ;D

Että tällaista tällä kertaa. Tiistaina tai hieman sen jälkeen päivittelen taas uutta keramiikkaa eetteriin. Siihen asti heippa hei!

Lamppujen prototyyppejä - Some Lamp Prototypes

Tilasin eBaystä isot pussilliset värillisiä kukkahelmiä (joista tässä tosin vain valkoisia). Väkertelin niistä hieman pöytävalaisimia ihan vain pohtiakseni mitä niistä saisi aikaiseksi. Hienoja kattokruunuja olen myös nähnyt näistä tehtävän eli sitä voisi kokeilla ehkä seuraavaksi. Helmiä on riittävästi, yhteensä noin 1400 kpl!

I ordered some flower beads from eBay and tried making a couple of lamps. I've seen chandeliers made out of these, so I thought I'd try that next. I should have enough beads at least, I've got about 1400 of them...! X'D

Toinen lampuista on hieman vino, mutta suoristin sen äsken kun liima ei ollut vielä ehtinyt kuivua.
The other one's a little crooked, but I straightened it out a moment ago since the glue hadn't dried yet.

Lähettämäni joulukalenteriluukut - The Calendar Presents I Sent Out

Monta kuorta lähti matkaan.
Many envelopes went on their way.

Progress Report - Planning a House

This is the current draft. I still haven't measured everything and I have to miss class (it's a workshop type of thing for making doll houses) next week, so actually getting started is still going to take a while... The plan is that it's going to sit on top / between some tree branches like a proper tree house. In case you can't read my scribbles, it's going to be in scale with Ernest (more or less, he's kinda not in any scale) or pukipuki (~11cm tall). Room height around 16cm.

Miniature Ceramics

Almost forgot to post these. The last batch done. There won't be more until maybe in September.

Oh and yay, I managed to sell some of these. Which was nice.

Progress Report - More Minipottery

5 hours worth of minis. Once they're dry, they'll go into the kiln. Only 3 more weeks of ceramics classes left. Boohoo. I'm planning to go again when they start again in the autumn. :3

Sad ceramics.

So yeah, not all that happy with these. I did manage to select a couple that I'm going to send for the Valentine's swap, but yeah... not happy. I was most disappointed that it happened to be one of my favourites that the teacher accidentally broke when I was short on time and she was helping me with the glazes. It's the green fat one in the front. You can see the top looks pretty awful. :(

There are only 4 weeks left. I threw some more mini jars, cups and pots today so I'll have time to make those, and maybe a tiny bit more next time. After that, it's just glazing and the classes are over. I'll miss it. ;_; I'm going to go again as soon as they're offering more courses. I was only just starting to get the hang of throwing miniatures. X'D

Khan's chair.

So, here's the chair I've been working on since forever, finally. I also made a coffee table type thing, but there was not enough space in the cabinet for both. I even had to use a box to lift the chair a bit because Khan's legs wouldn't have fitted in otherwise. Maybe some day I'll have somewhere to put this stuff properly, but this will have to do for now.

Progress Report - Furniture, part 2 & stuff~

The dollhouse furniture project is coming along all right. I've got quite a lot done, but they need some decorative details, so I won't be showing everything just yet. But here's a peek to what I've done the past week or so.






Something for the hall: A wonky shoe shelf and a hat & coat hanger thingy that hasn't got hooks in place just yet.


I got these awesome sticks from a store called Biltema. I used some leftover wax to give them a bit of colour and used them as a floor. All the wallpapering is still to be done. I just haven't been able to pick what I want yet. 


This is the larder. Items still need to be painted and placed appropriately, but it's coming along. There will be even more stuff in there later.


I found these delicious-looking beads. Not sure what I'll be making yet, but I bet it'll be disappointing wonderful!

Fabrics and buttons...

I went insane and bought a bunch of gorgeous fabrics from a shop nearby. I even managed to make something out of them.





This was the first haul...


The second somewhat smaller haul.


Here's the third when they had a sale. I went back the next day and bought some more, but didn't remember to take a picture.


I also ordered some buttons. Just a few... Then I sorted them because I'm insane. :p


Some more buttons. My sorting insanity continues. This was an uneven assortment.


Then I made some pillows for the boys.

Progress Report - Furniture, part 1

I'm building some 1:12 roomboxes inside a glass-door cabinet. I'm making most of the furniture myself. So far I've got a towel holder, a bookshelf, a kitchen cabinet, a dining table and chairs, storage shelves, a sofa and three tables (big one for food preparation, a coffee table and a tiny end table) and a drawer shelf thingy. I've also got two armchairs on the way. That's about all I've been doing for the past couple of weeks.
I'll also be making some trunks, boxes and other smaller items this Thursday. I'm attending a doll house furniture making class every Thursday until the end of November, so I'm assuming I'll have a full house by then. :D



Here's the cabinet. I got it for 90€ +delivery.


Here's the first thing I made. It's a little rough, but I'm going for the... uhm... rustic look. :p


Here's the first bookshelf. 


A kitchen cabinet. The doors are still missing hinges and handles. I might add something to the back, not sure what yet.


It's a bench sofa thingy. Legs undecided.


Not sure what this thing is, but the little drawers will eventually have handles. Also, this needs some fine tuning still.



A dining table and some wobbly chairs. 


This image is a bit crappy, but I just wanted to show I made some storage shelves as well as the rickety bookshelf.

I'm also making an oven&stove thingy, but I need to fix it some before I can show it. It's currently way too embarrassing... 

Pottery...

I make some.
