Where it began

4 years ago I made this dollhouse for my daughters. This is my first attempt to make miniatures. The scale is 1:10, it was easier to count in a metric system. Parts of the furniture were preys to my children. I think these photos are the only proof of my whole work.

And another homemade present: a barnyard. It was made two years ago for my daughters' Playmobil figures. The most difficult thing was to take such a big thing in secret!

Room for a Lady - Vases

Making revolved solids without a lathe is very hard and disappointing. And I haven't got one, only a Dremel tool. Perhaps for my birthday... (It was for my husband!) So I carved again! The wood is so perfect material! After carving there were polishing and polishing and polishing again. I used acrylic and enamel paint. I liked them before painting. I will try to use varnish.

Garden gloves

This is a template for the gloves. I simply glued together the fingers, then forced a toothpick into them not to let to be too flat. I glued backward the flips of the thumb and took it into the slit (striped section) and folded it down onto the palm part. Making the edge and some chalk and the gloves are ready.
This is a return for the good comments.

Thanks

I'VE GOT TWO FOLLOWERS! I'm very very happy and pride and it's a great honour for me. Thank you!

New scene: Room for a Lady

Now I display my romantic side. I arrange a room for a lady: ornaments, flowers, cushions and so on...
I was making a sidetable when my tablesaw brake down. I have to wait for my husband to repare it at weekend. So now I make tiny accessoires like this old wooden jewellery box.

Garden work - Gallery

The garden scene is ready! I've been waiting for the sunshine, now the photos are better. There are some new details, for example the garden gloves. I made a previous version of them, but those were too flat, so I set on again.
And now I'm ready for a new project...

When I mentioned laziness a while ago I lied a little bit. I worked on this study in secret, because it was made for my husband for his name-day. He was really surprised, though I couldn't overshadow the present of three years ago: then he got a baby girl.
Everything in the scene is made by me. The objects are related to my husband: the fantasy novels, the rock cd-s, the baseball cap, the CAD on the screen, the photos of our daughters on the wall and on the notice board, the calendar with the dog (2007 remained accidentally) and the box of cigarettes (alas!). I'm very proud of the chair, first time in my life I bent wood. I can't steam, but I red a good trick somewhere: I boiled the wood about ten minutes, then forced it onto a mug with two clothes-pins and it worked. I consider the leather briefcase and the pen on the desk are great jobs.
And there are things I' m not satisfied with: the keyboard and the paint on the lamp. These are so awful at close quarters!
The scene lives in a box with a mobile glass front.
