Gothic Themed Castle Roombox 1" scale # 2

This is an Enchanting 1" scale Castle Room Display. 

It was such a fun item to create. The stones on the walls are hand sculpted from airdry clay "freestyle" by me without use of molds. Each stone is then painted several various colors to give them each the look of real life stone.  The Fireplace was handmade & has an electrified "fire" with burning embers. 

This roombox also comes with 1 electrified candle stand which has 3 candles. It also has plexiglass on top (movable) and on the front (Unmovable). This was such a fun creation because I totally love Castles and things that has castle elements in them. Here are pictures of this completed creation. I hope it brings a smile to your face as it has done for me.

Brimbles Dollhouse Kit Village Shoppe 2012

I am just about finished working on a Village Shoppe for a client of mine. I am so excited about it because this was a project that I turned out loving at the end. My customer wanted a sage green house with dark green trim and she wanted dark wood on the insides. She mentioned she wanted the house to have siding and brown stucco and at first, in my minds eye, I could see this house, even before it was built!

I assembled the house pretty quickly. When I moved on to the outsides of it, I found myself stuck and no longer feeling the house. I was a little bit ill this past fall up until about November or so of last year and though I worked on this house slowly, I still could not really get into the house.

I even thought about refunding the down payment because I did not think I'd ever finish this house. I know when I don't "feel" the house, it's all downhill after that. Last month (Actually, the end of January, I was sitting in front of the TV and looking at my work island at this house and saw right away what my problem was! My customer wanted a sage green house. Do you know how many SHADES there are of sage green? I had 7 samples on my island. I finally picked one and found I still was NOT happy with it. I also did not like the dark brown I used for the stucco. That is when I decided it was time for me to mix paint again to create my own blend of paint. Once I did that, I was amazed how changing the shades of paint (even though just a little bit) made this house more pleasing to my eyes and I was able to finish this house more quickly. 

The paint color to the left of the screen is the color this house originally was. The top too dark and the bottom too light. The right side shows the color I changed it to:

The best part was, not only was I happy with the color but my client was too and that made me feel Wonderful inside!

The next time you fall out of LOVE with a project, it may not be the "house" itself. It just may be something as simple as the color of your paint!

Soon as I get the doors (I broke one side accidentally) and add the last 4 pieces of trim, I'll upload more inside shots.

DollHouse Heart Arbor W/Flower Vine

I haven't blogged all this year but I have been busy making Dollhouse Minis! I made a cute Vignette scene this month. We have had a very mild winter considering I live in the midwest but, it's not warm enough for me to enjoy flowers yet so I had the urge to create a scene with summer flowers blooming.

I have this item (plus others) for sale on my etsy shop  I made a 1" scale Heart arbor scene that you can display on your table top or desk or anywhere you'd like to add a splash of color and enjoy your miniatures!

It's a full vine with over 40 blue and white flower blooms in the climbing vine that is covering this arbor. There is even a bird hiding in this vine. The bricks were all hand sculpted by me "free style" without use of molds. I then painted each and every brick to simulate the look of what you would see in real life. If you purchased this scene, I am sure you will be as happy with it as my many other customers are with their items. The size is of this 1" scale item is 11" W x 8 1/2" D x 9" H
