Souvenirs from abroad

I made a profile for the owner of the room. She is not a lady, rather a woman, a single one. She works in an office all day, often works overtime. She spends her holiday with travelling. Actually she is at home only at night of weekday. She bought this apartment lately, has no time to renovate. She likes old things she inherited from her grandmother, and also likes modern design. And her name is Edit!

These days I made evidences of her trip: photos, a leather album (fimo), frames (IKEA style). One of the frame has broken on the moving, it's waiting for changing glass.

I"ve also made some books of various subjects (design, art and travel).

And my favourite work of the last days is this brass sculpture. I imagined a woman sitting on the window shelf as I was bathing a week ago, and I can't get rid of the idea. I started it four times to be satisfied with the result. The fimo became too soft on sculpting, I always  left my fingerprints everywhere, so it was a horror at the first three times. Now it's OK, but doesn't like to be looked nearly.

Oh, there is a great crack at the corner beneath the window. This is not my creation, but perfect for an old room!

I have new followers, welcome here! These irises are for you!

Cookies for gourmand

Yesterday I made some cookies for the room. The owner of the room likes sweets just like me! (Who doesn't?) On close-up I can see the defects. I have to make up another technique for cremes and jams! I have to buy liquid fimo! And next time I will be more precise with the cutting and gluing. I designed the cover of the tin box. My own brand! WOW! The box diameter is 18 mm. All the cookies are absolutely handmade, I haven't used molds or presser.

This is an umbrella with bright color! It's unusual in my scene, isn't it? Sometimes I kick over the traces.

Yesterday my middle daughter, Sári has gave me the stick of her lollipop, "Mum, it would be right for something!". My dear assistant miniaturist!

Working IN the room!

I have solved the problem with the window pane! I remembered we have hundreds of disc boxes somewhere in the walk-in closet because we hold the discs in wallets. So I tried to choose the ones with the fewest scratch and cut them with my tablesaw. Then I could put the windows into their places. Some plaster work is necessery, I can see the sunlight coming through the gaps around the window frames. Although the sunlight is very poor, it's still rainy here!

I put wallpaper on the center parts of the wall. Certainly it's a little bit loose and dirty at the bottom. This room is in an old apartment house in Budapest. The house needs a serious renovating, but the panorama is magnificent!

I hung up the curtains, too. I'm too short, only 156 cm, so I had to use a ladder. I was ready to go out into my garden in rainfall to study our ladder, I'm very determined about miniatures! So it's old and rusty and spotted, like my real one.

A good weekend

This weekend was great and fruitful except that the weather was dirty. It has been raining for about two weeks, my mood is increasingly gloomy, the garden is a puddle, weeds are happy! I feel like living in India in monsoon! But I have plenty of time to make minis!
Even the beginning was wonderful being one of the three winners of Nina's giveaway on http://tudordollhouse.blogspot.com/. This was the first time in my life winning anything. Nina's miniatures are perfect! Thank you, Nina!
And I made some objects for the room. The windows are ready, but I have no any plexi at home, so these are only the frames.

I tried to furnish the radiator with some fittings, but I'm not competent in plumbing. Does it look like a radiator?

Yesterday I've found a blog with fantastic miniature plants (http://rosyanneg.blog81.fc2.com/) and I had to make a hyacinth! I'm very contented with the result. Ok, I know a real hyacinth flower has six joined petals, and I made only four of them, but it was the maximum my eyes and my hands could tackle with. All along I thought if I sneeze all of my work would be over.

Making miniatures is contagious! This is a mug with coffee my eldest daughter made me. Am I look tired?

And the best minis I've ever made: Sára (5), Kata (7) and Dóri(3) - from left to right.

I send these Geraniums from my garden to my new followers! I'm happy you are here!

Roombox is under construction

After three days' work here are the results. I've got many experiences with carton, they are not too good. Nex time I use wood for walls, it's far better for me!

I hate waiting for drying!

Last night I've done this flooring for the room. I didn't count the pieces I cut, but there were many many of them, you can believe me! My neck and back are aching even now!

Error in my blog!

Sorry if you had any problem with the comments. Ira (Merry Jingle) has left a comment on my hungarian blog not to be able to come at the comment editor. I immediately tested my blog and solved the problem. Hopefully it would never again happen! Please if it still doesn't work, leave a comment on my other blog: http://azenpicivilagom.blogspot.com/! Thanks a lot, Ira!

I'm working very hard with the roombox (my package has arrived!), soon I will post the result.
