Beach house 1:144 finished

As promised , I'm showing the finished version of my beach house. The roof is removable, so one could see what's inside :)  That's the only photo with the seagull. it accidentally fell off and I almost lost it. That's a lesson: I shall always check wether all the details are glued properly!! Fortunately I found it and re-glued it already)

The interior of the house you can see in one of my previous posts here
Thanks for watching :))

Small teaser on the beach house

Hi there! the fact that I do not have much time doesn't mean I do not do anything now:)
Ideas are swirling through my head and sometimes I can't even sleep because I'm full of "How-To" thoughts.. I suppose that happens mainly because I can't really sit and bring these ideas to life yet :))) But I'm still very happy: indeed, the baby is growing fast and it's the best time for me to enjoy!
Nevertheless, I have finished the beach house! I'll wait for sunny weather here to take good shots, and for now the little teaser of the last element which I've finished today:
can you emagine a beach house without seagulls?:)

It sits on a simple needle and measures approx. 2,5 (length beak to tail) x 1,5 (height) x less then 1 mm (width)
I like working that small so much!
Best wishes to you and your families!

furnishing of the beach house is finished.

Hi everyone! I am naturally absent from blogosphere and crafts for a while - I have very litte time now)
However, I managed to finish the furnishing of my beach house (the bedroom and dining zone were made before the baby came, so don't look at me like that - I really haven't done much since :)))

 outside table with the bottle of wine and a glass. can you see it?) the holes are for columns that I'll add later.

 

the dining zone. I finally received the moss i ordered earlier, the flower on the table is the tiny piece of moss.

 Bedroom.

 bookshelf.

 bedside table

 it's a house for a neat small vacation on the sea, so people would need to keep their staff in bags

 And here's my little one )))) she's about 1,5 weeks old here)

 I enjoy reading all your blogs and wishing you all good mood)

bathroom and kitchen.

Hi good folks :)
I've finished the bathroom in my beach house. Can you spot toothbrushes?:))) Sorry, no better view - the camera just won't do that.
Sometimes now when I make it i doubt people can actually see the details without the magnifier :)
I really think that the beauty of 1:144 is in details, because they just make the whole room "alive".

 I'm showing the rooms unassembled, because it gives better view on items, which are half hidden when the walls would take their place.

 WC from polymer clay. It even has a smaller whole inside the big one - where canalization goes. But again, camera won't hold focus.

 Bathroom assembled. On the front view there's a basket for dirty clothes and a roll of toilet paper

Kitchen. There would also be a dining zone on the front view, but I got stuck with chairs: The one for previous project was quite complicated to make and I now think of other ways.
Anyhow, that's an overall view:

 From the side:

 Closer look on the shelf with plates and cook-books. I also like the flower on the fridge. Though I do not like the fridge itself. (I just hate to re-do something, so it has to stay this way:))

 with my index finger to see the scale :P

 Kitchen assembled. There's a towel on the wall above the oven.

 here it is. It's actually greenish :)

Well, I hope I gave you some inspiration, because I certainly need some for my dining zone. I already do not like those chairs :P

Ah,, I have my birthday this Sunday, I'll be 25. I wonder if we'll have a birthday on the same day with my baby?:)

door, shower and small updates

Hi! Just wanted to show you the work of two last days: the items that are looking good, i suppose:)
The door between bedroom and bathroom. It has half-translucent middle part with flowers on it

 Bedroom walls

 curtains

 Bathroom. Sink is finished

 shower. It's about 14mm tall. I made a mistake and the part that displays the best view would not be seen once the bathroom is assembled. But you have to learn on mistakes, right:)

The "glass" on the shower is a blister from a medicine.. shower base and sink is polymer clay.

kitchen is ready for furnishing

Thank you so much for your sweet comments and wishes!
I have my due date at 17th of June, though we thought it would happen earlier. Now I'm not so sure - I feel like I'm probably going to have another big baby (my daughter was 4 kilos when she was born. it was hard :))
I've finished kitchen insides, so now it's ready for furnishing. here it is:

That is why also i like this scale: you can do things really quick :)

Beach house update

Hi there!
How are you all doing, here on blogland? I really hope you are all fine, cause our family is certainly not: we all got flu again and it's been already five days of constant coughing and running noses. I hope I have several more days to get well, because it's hard to even think of delivery in this state :(
I won't be able to show you detailed step-by-step this time: we have troubles with camera. Yes-yes, everything against me, but I still keep the good mood. Why shouldn't I? :)

Anyhow, here's where I'm at with my micro beach house:

I've finished windows and floorings. That is the front view without terrace roof. I'll leave the main roof removable, otherwise it won't be possible to see the insides because of the poor lighting.

 The terrace itself

 Kitchen. I really love the mosaic, both making it and how it looks like. It is glazed and shines, but you can't see it on this photo :(

 Bedroom. For some reason the color on the bedroom walls is the only color that looks completely different from reality. Why - I have no clue :) The floor here is also made like a mosaic from tiny bamboo strips (2 mm x 0.3-0.4 mm?) but I didn't like the color, painted it white and now I think there was almost no purpose of doing it the hard way - I could just print out some patterns :) Hopefully it's worth it in real life.

 The top view

 bathroom. Well, there won't be a bath, just a shower here.


Aaannnd I wanted to show you the first prize I have ever won! I received it couple of days ago and it took more than two month to travel from USA; (what did I say about russian post?!)
It was Jackie's giveaway and it's very lovely! Thank you so much, Jackie!!!

 My fawn-doll is happy! Finally she has something to do: I do not have much minis in classic 1:12 scale yet :)

And a question of the day for those who made it till the end of the post: How can you possibly ruin the frozen lasagna? :)))) I managed to do it just fine! I didn't want to cook anything since I still feel quite ill and tired, so I heated the lasagna, took it out of the oven..... ....And dropped it right in the middle of the table! :) Thanks god, it was clean! :) So we had to eat our supper in ...erm.. not quite pleasant way :)))

Good luck to you all! Luck is very, very important these days! :)))

New project. Beach house 1:144

I've started a new project yesterday. It's just a sketch now, but I intend to do it the smart way: counting the time I spend on the project, drawing plans and sketches. It'll be the correct 1:144 scale (I've calculated the sizes of the furniture and walls, we'll see weather I can keep up with my calculations)
My daughter asked for something with a blue roof (it's her favorite color) and I've decided on the beach house.

Total time spent on sketches from all the sides and counting: approx.3,5 hours.
