"White Harmony"

I've been off from my blog for a few days ( or a few weeks?). But now I'm here and I brought a gift for you. The "White Harmony" scene is ready and it's just like I imagined. Everything is in white and natural colors. It was a very hard choice to choose the best flowers into the pitcher. I thought about paeonies, daisies, but the last idea was white lily, and I didn't regret my  choice. And now the photos...

Basket

If you have followed my blog for a long time you know my bogey is basket making. I experimented with a lot of materials to find the thin wire I use nowadays. But this time I met another problem. I wanted to line the basket with some white fabric to fit into the "White Harmony" scene. I tried all the white fabrics I had but everything had too robustic weave in 1:12 scale. At last I threw away the idea of using fabric, and I cut a piece of paper tissue. And it worked the best!   

I don't know what to put into the basket, perhaps some old books or yarn balls with knitting needles. It's open...

Dummy is finished

Yes, its white. Not the snow type but a little bit ivory shade, and of course shabby.

Dressmaker's dummy

Today I had time only for this wood carving. This dressmaker's dummy would be the part of the "White Harmony" scene, too. On the photos you can see the steps of the birth. It will be white, of course. Or do I overdo the whites in this scene?

Continuing "White Harmony"

At last the whole "White Harmony" scene was made up in my mind and had a little time to work on it. This is the little white shabby sideboard to be the center of the scene. It would be a perfect base for the  birdcage and the fruit plate I had made a few weeks ago. The tiny keyhole plate were made from paper. They are not so delicate as the real size one I've found on the internet, but in this scale this was the best I could do. There are many many other details in progress. I hope I can work much more faster than before.

Fruit of the week is plum

Here is another fruit of the summer. Although this month is not the perfect time for plums, but I've got inspiration from some wonderful photos about them. These items are available on my Etsy shop.

Deli products

I've got a special request last week, deli products in old style into a counter of a rustic salami and cheese shop. The customer entrusted all the details to me, I got free hand. My way! This is the result. Today I sent her photos about is, hope she would like it!

Size of the scene is 80 x 50mm.
