Evalina Rose and her little sister Posy Anna are the main characters of a series of children's stories that I am writing. In this blog I will share the final stages of crafting their half scale house--Honeysuckle Cottage--and the miniature stuff that will make up the settings of their stories.

Still time for the Bella-Mouse giveaway

For giveaway, scroll down to post 5/29/12
Bella-Mouse waits for a new home.

I make progress on my wall paper.

 I finished another Cassidy Creations kit from http://half-scale-miniatures.com/shop/.  This was the first kit of theirs that I had trouble with.  I could not get the door to hang...finally I decided to make a ribbon hinge.

I glued two pieces of ribbon to the back of the door.

I glued a piece of paper over the ribbons and then glued the ends of the ribbons to the inside of the little  washstand.



I made the little bowl and pitcher  out of porcelain about 7 years ago.  I plan on making a little doily and hand towels  to finish off the piece.  The washstand will go into the new bathroom


Here are my newest children out of Femo.  I have not fully painted their features, and I have not decided if they are related...just a test for now.

Formerly known as ET

I think that this pair will be a big brother and his baby sister.



Half scale girl.


Does anybody know who made this little doll?  I bought her about seven years ago at a guild show.  The man who made her is from the UK, and he is charming.  This little lady was not his smallest doll...she fits into Evalina's dresses, and I love her

I am not able to read this , do you recognize this signature? 

Isn't she perfect?

She fits nicely into my half scale house.




Have a wonderful weekend,

New Pictures of Bella-Mouse

I promised some pictures of Bella-Mouse in her dress, here they are.  I will just mention that she has little pink panties,but for her privacy, I will not show them.  


Here are some pictures of Grandmother with her new unnamed grand daughter.  I know there are a lot of pictures, but she just looks so happy.





Some day soon Grandmother will have her own house.


I have made a change to Honeysuckle Cottage.  The original plan was to have one large room on the top floor, and a kitchen and a living room down stairs.  Well it turns out that it really bothers my seven-year old that there is no bathroom.  I figure that if it bothers her it will bother most children...I plan on using the cottage as a setting for children's stories, so I must not upset the children.  I have added a wall to the upstairs and now have a bathroom.  I forgot to take a picture, but I got this shot while  photographing Grandmother with her new grand daughter.

The bathroom is now on the Left

I have decided to paint the wallpaper in the girl's bed room.  I have also been experimenting with  paintings.  Everything I do is a bit cartoonish, I am not an artist.  But again, this house is meant to be used as illustrations for children's books

Practice Flowers,  I'm not crazy about the color.

Portrait of Posy is 1/2 of an inch.

The wall paper in the background is From Itsy Bitsy Mini http://dollhouse-miniature-wallpaper.com/shop/ .  It will be in the living room, I love it

I have been trying to make different types of one inch scale roses for Grandmother's summer beach house.  I am using cold porcelain. 

I am also trying for irises.  I will carefully place some yellow flocking  for their beards.

I made a new pair of Robbin parents for my nest...very hard to photograph and probably not  to scale


Have a Wonderful Week,
Lucy
