Text of the page (random words):
p it even has a solar panel on the roof now and of course modern electrical plug ins for usb devices as well as led lighting i did not have quite enough time to fully finish the interior renovation before i left so that is still going on with some electrical wiring left to do for various types of plug ins plus i still need to make doors for the cabinets and build a few drawers but i brought along the tools and most of the materials for that once that work is done i will post photos of the completed interior of course i also put in a desk space in the trailer and i have a portable workshop space ie a dome tent with space to stand up inside of it photo above is of my current campsite including that dome tent where i am staying in for the rest of october 2020 it is a nice place very large campsite with picnic table the restrooms are very close by and there are private shower rooms and toilets for the campers i am close by to the town of poulsbo wa where i was living when i started this blog but with the covid 19 situation i am unable to visit my former neighbors who are of course still my friends yes i am still going to be making miniatures i brought along the coastal cottage dollhouse to finish plus i am still making and selling tiny village kits in my etsy store despite covid 19 it has been a good year for my tiny village sales hopefully this winter now that my vision is a little more improved and less warped looking i can design more buildings for that series posted by karin corbin at sunday october 18 2020 9 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels travel trailer november 1 2018 tiny village news for 2018 it has been nearly a year since i updated this blog i suppose if the tiny village had a yearly newsletter it would state that no new houses were built in the year 2018 of course that does not mean i am not still making and selling kits of the 48 unique buildings that i have designed in previous years but i did take a break from designing and testing new buildings i do know that in 2019 i will designing new building kits in a larger size and that my focus will be on selling them as patterns that people can cut for themselves the machines such as the silhouette and cricut are not capable of cutting the micro tiny village buildings so when if i design more of that size i will still only be offering them as pre cut kits i am not sure if taking a break in 2018 was only to do with the loss of the detail vision in my eye sight although that is certainly a big part of it or if was to do with a temporary feeling of burnout it does take several months of design and testing before a new release happens it was not from lack of ideas for new buildings to make every year i see hundreds of inspirational examples of old buildings that would be great for a tiny village showing up in photographs taken by travelers or in old photos from historic archive collections that get scanned and released online but there are other things going on as well transitions in where and how i will be living is the big one i had started renovation a small older motorhome but then found something even better a tiny lightweight vintage fiberglass travel trailer it was in bad condition when i purchased it a fixer upper but it was lightweight which is what is i needed for my 4 cylinder car renovating it to make it suit my needs has been coming along very slowly but somewhat steadily for the last 18 months slowly because my back is lousy a lot of days nothing gets done but on none of the days does a lot get done a familiar tale to an aging population if i could put in some of those old high energy weeks i used to have in my 30s it would be done in about 4 more intense labor work weeks so here is a photo of the newly painted little red caboose that i tow behind my little red engine it does have a popup roof section so i can stand fully upright inside of it i will post some photos of the inside when i get it completed as to my eye sight my right eye is fairly stable some minor improvement this last 6 months but to see anything up close i have to move my head like my cross eyed siamese cat does turning it back and forth to get a view of it from outside of the center of my focal point even then the vision of the object is distorted my left eye is very slowly getting worse it too has some blurring in the central focal point and some distortion with wavy lines my eyes working together do some cancellation of the appearance of wavy lines but that does not change the blurry area in the central focal points i can see to drive just fine distance vision is not an issue other than the wavy lines watching tv or working on the computer is not all that bad i can t read paperback books with small print but i can read e book versions on my tablet and i can read the newspapers it is seeing small details up close that is the issue for instance i can t tell if the dashed lines the machine cuts to create the bends for the wall of the tiny village buildings are cut in a straight line sometimes the windows and door and the little pieces for the dormers and chimney also look crooked my friend says they are just fine that they are cut nice and straight but unfortunately they will never again look that way to me i can t see clearly to make a small intricate cut with craft knife or scalpel blade in terms of the quality of my life this truly is a small problem it only limits me in a very small way except for when i want to make very small things and then it becomes a bigger problem i have done all that can be done treatment wise it can t be fixed with any currently available surgeries medications or with corrective lenses so i will adapt what i make and how i make it and that way i still get to be creative posted by karin corbin at thursday november 01 2018 no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest november 18 2017 a magic castle light show the micro sized 2017 castle kit the lighting is done with a single led tea light that has a color changing bulb in it these color changing tealights do a slow fade from one color to the next rather than flashing they are very pleasant to look at i finally got my camera back from the repair shop so i am busy creating the instructions for the kit and they should be done in a few days posted by karin corbin at saturday november 18 2017 no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest august 13 2017 tiny village necklace i have been playing with miniatures again this time i put the little lighthouse from the micro tiny coastal village 2016 into a little glass dome pendant necklace it does make a nice necklace or christmas tree ornament or something fun to hang in front of a window i plan to have a limited quantity of ready to wear ones with pre assembled buildings inside for sale in my etsy store for the christmas season but they are not listed yet as i am still waiting on the supplies to arrive which seem to be taking the slow boat from china when they are ready i will update this posting and add an additional one the dome is great as it protects the building overall size of the container is 1 inch wide by 2 inches high not all of my micro sized tiny village buildings will fit inside of the dome but quite a few of them will for those of you looking to purchase this size of dome you can find them in the tim holtz line at places such as michaels and joanns or for a safe way to order them in larger quantities with options for style and other colors such as silver you can get them from an etsy seller who ships direct from china buying through etsy will give you good buyer protection policy plus additional ways to pay within this country this etsy store has a 5 star rating https www etsy com listing 485434775 4setslot 3825mm tube glass dome bottles i am not going to stock quantities empty domes to sell with my kits my storage space is mini sized this is why i tell you where to buy things such as these domes and other supplies posted by karin corbin at sunday august 13 2017 no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest december 22 2016 snow for tiny village scenes i took a few minutes this afternoon to test out snow for a scene with the micro sized buildings obviously not a finished scene as it would need snow on the roofs and every thing properly leveled and lighted too the snowy ground look is created with a product that used to be found at local pharmacies but now has to be ordered online it is the very thin bleached cotton that was used as padding around the edges of cast for broken bones it comes in rolls and glitter will stick to it since the cotton has lots of tiny fibers making up the surface the cotton can be layered just pull off the straight edges so they are feathered and you can blend sections together if also forms well for making mountain folds keywords to finding this product cotton roll cast padding sold for veterinary use as well as for people i think it gives a nice billowy look that is good for miniature scale scenes versus the much thicker quilt battings or christmas tree skirting material plus it is an authentic vintage material that was used for creating such christmas ornamental scenes it will also hide the thin metal wires from the little led light strings i don t know if i will ever do a finished scene for myself as i have no safe place to store such things from year to year but i do need to create a few for photography for marketing purposes posted by karin corbin at thursday december 22 2016 no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest merry christmas 2016 micro tiny village castle karin corbin 2016 merry christmas to all of you there is a golden castle in my hand this gift from me given to myself was getting this prototype done before christmas arrived it really feels great to get it out of the virtual computer reality and into real life 3 dimensions all sides of the castle including the inner courtyard sides have lots of details and a lot of great depth changes to the surfaces tiny village and castle karin corbin 2016 this is the larger sized version in the standard white color my favorite look shown with some buildings from the tiny village series the castle was designed to be used on it own or with the village buildings karin corbin 2016 how big is it and what scale are they everyone always ask that well castles are much bigger than a village house so it is not going to fit on a shelf in a dollhouse you will have to put it on a table or on the floor of a child s room or next to a christmas tree or use it on the shelf in your real house in a 1 12 scale dollhouse the micro size is going to be the best look unless you are putting it into a 1 12 scale castle what scale is it these items such as toy castles glitter houses putz decorations cardboard castles and such were not created in scale sizes they were made in all kinds of sizes ranging from a few inches tall to a few feet high the size i settled on for micro was determined by experimenting with making them as small as i could make them and still have them be reliable for cutting and assembling if i were to make the castle smaller or the village buildings smaller then i would have to start removing the smallest of the details i like the details that is what makes them rather magical and fun to look at and interesting to put together and the details i put into my micro tiny and standard tiny buildings elevates them above what others are providing to the marketplace i still have a few very minor adjustments to make before i start the process of creating the step by step photographic illustrated directions for the assembly plus i need to order in the materials for packaging and then figure out what it will weigh for shipping posted by karin corbin at
