As soon as I had made the fireplace for my 1/24 scale house I became dissatisfied with it. I could have kicked myself for forgetting to add the 'wood' at the right time. So I have been looking for a box of suitable size to form the basis for another fireplace - remembering to add the wooden mantel at the right time this time - so far this box has eluded me.
I busied myself making a chair from a Petite Properties kit and started on the geraniums from etsy. These geraniums are important.
All my life as a child there was a pot of geraniums ( red ones) on the window sill at my grandmothers - I still am transported back there every time I smell that geranium smell when I am potting up tubs at the back of my real house.
My little house as yet has no window sill - in fact the front of this house lifts off - but I intend to remedy that eventually.
This is the first time I have attempted a miniature flower kit - maybe 1/24 scale was not the way to go. I finished them but may tweak in the end. They are convincing enough from a distance.
The 'china' pot is a bit big - this will have to be tweaked!
I then got further distracted by deciding to slightly change the shade of pink in the kitchen of the Pink House. ( 1/12 scale) I used a Laura Ashley paint for this.
And then I came to a halt again.
You may have spotted some purchases but I'll get back to those.

Hi Mummyboo! I am such a Great Fan of Pink and your choice of it for your dollhouse kitchen appliances is quite lovely! It certainly gives a delicate and feminine atmosphere to the room.:D
ReplyDeleteThe potted red geraniums for your half-scale house are pretty and cheerful but I would have to agree with you that your pot should perhaps be "tweaked", as it looks out of scale in the photo even though it may look different in person. Keep up the Great Work, on BOTH projects! :D
