Wooden things

Seems this week I am trying to get the wooden Tole done instead of minis
I do need to get these done before Christmas and as I am not a very steady or fast painter I need a fair bit of time!
these both are 16inches high
The tree is going to be white! That will be easy I will spray it!
It has a squirrel as you see, which we don't have here lol, as a separate piece
Yes I should do a kangaroo huh! Oh well maybe I will change at the last minute as I am apt to do!

This doll will have a basket of flowers well hopefully when I finish I only just began this today so a little bit to do as yet! I will have a block of wood on the bottom to make it more

secure

My picnic basket

my Cute Picnic basket

Inside the basket I made plates cups and a thermos

Welcome

Welcome to my Blog Maite!

your blog is fantastic http://miniaturista-minisypx.blogspot.com/

The Disney store is gorgeous and that dollshop is every girls dream

The big house is really lovely and I adore Gran in the bed while Granpa sleeps in the Chair

Busy Busy Busy

Shame I haven't got to the minis for a while!
We had visitors for a couple of days and had such fun,they have gone home now.
Since then I have been very busy keeping up with my husband who cannot drive as yet, so he had me all over the city yesterday we left at 9am to meet with his worker, then home for a bit,then to another appointment at 11am, back home for lunch then to the Physio at 1pm, back to his work place 25 minutes away from our house, then I went to my sons house to do a few chores for him and didn't get home till 6pm! Whew I was so tired!
For a person to only go out 3 days a week to everyday for 7 weeks is all a bit much!
WHY?? cause NO MINIS!!!!!lol I guess it won't be long and I will be saying!
Gosh it's boring around here !

Shabby painting

Now this was the hardest of all very small to be painting nice clear lines

Not sure about this one

"Not happy Jan!"

Shabby painting

Then I tried this one!

mmmmmm it looks a bit bashed up I wouldn't have it my bedroom or any other room for that matter lol

Been dragged behins a ttruck I think! lol

I had a hard time painting over the brown with the white and now it looks a bit think maybe Im using the wrong paint!

Shabby Chic alright lol

I thought I would make a bookcase to play around with the Shabby paintwork and I made it out of card
then I painted it pink and top coat 3 times of off white and this is how it came out

Mm Im not sure

You can use this if you so please

I think it is the right sizing!

Quilts

I found this picture and made it into a quilt you can print this onto paper and you will find the tutorial on Doreens projects http://doreensprojects.blogspot.com/2009/03/crumpled-paper-project.html

A very clever idea!

Or you can print onto fabic ironed onto freezer paper and pop through the printer

Welcome

Welcome to my blog K Arthur you can visit her blog on http://dollhouseminiatureart.blogspot.com/

Roof

I actually had a little time to fix the roof

I wasn't sure what to use in the end I decided to use egg carton and I'm quite pleased with how it turned out

I cut strips 1inch wide then just cut them freehand with the scissors

I just roughly painted the roof blue grey so I wouldn't have any white undercoat showing through, it prolly didn't matter

A pram

This was one of those little black prams which I covered

Now I need a baby for it I guess & perhaps a little quilt
