These N scale people seemed like a bit of a bargain from eBay. I received 25 for less than £2!
Their quality is a bit iffy but that gave me a new opportunity and a new challenge, so I started to paint them.
These are my first two, a pleasant couple. They are certainly enjoying their visit to the Swan, my 1/144 scale miniature pub.
Plenty more to go!
I’ve rekindled my relationship with Fimo. Making mini food is quite tricky and I’m yet to try the more adventurous creations such as those by the brilliant Angie Scarr, her book on mini food is amazing.
These little fruit offerings are this evening’s work. And not forgetting my avo and tomato sandwich, pret style
I’ve opened an Etsy shop with some of my food and fruit/veg crates. Do take a look!
Christmas trees are so magical. I saw a picture once of a mantelpiece covered in miniature Christmas trees of all shapes, types and sizes. My blossoming collection isn’t quite as grand but it’s growing.
This year I decided to make some of my own. A little tutorial by Martha Stuart guided the way. Mine aren’t as intricate as hers, and they are half the size. But I think they are equally as charming.
It’s been far too long! A hankering for all things miniature has led me back. And I’m starting off by decorating this beautiful little tree from eBay for £5.99. It’s even nicer in reality.
I’ve already some baubles which I used to string across the doll house mantelpiece. Today I’m unpicking those, removing the short gold loops and replacing with a more natural green thread. Next are Christmas crackers and candles.
This tree isn’t for my doll house, I have a few small trees that I display every Christmas, each year adding one more tree.
I picked up a mixed bag of plastic and fabric flowers for about 50p at York fair, knowing they would come in useful at some point.
Added to the punch-out flower shapes, I've managed to create some pretty displays for my mansion.
