Text of the page (random words):
nger so thick in depth and will allow the front panel to open and close smoothly i hope other news the third floor still is in need of wainscot i decided on board and batten wainscot with a bit of a twist which is of course causing me a number additional cuts to the norm but i think it will be fun and different when done the proprietress of this home finally has a name ivy and has told me she likes the general idea of old class with a few twists to update and keep it fun we shall see if she likes it all when i m finished which i truly believe the interior will be with in the next couple of weeks the exterior i ve pulled out my pack of paperclay and am gearing myself up to finally get the gumption to start sculpting bricks to match the sheets of bricks that are already applied to the exterior of the brownstone i believe i m going to attempt that with the clay just rolled out and then sculpt the bricks in to match however while i have the clay out i also have another build that i have a stone stencil from bromley that i m going to water the clay down until it s a pancake batter consistency and then use that with the stencil i ve read and researched that if you make the watered down clay in a jar that you can seal it keeps for years i m just hoping it really works well with the stencil which means i ll hopefully be posting pictures of a stone church here soon enough for you all as well i ll give you the back story on that once i put it together again and start showing pictures lol that s all for now as it is rather late but i hope everyone is enjoying the summer and enjoying their own builds hope to be back again soon with more picture updates of progress posted by kelli at 11 11 pm 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest sunday april 10 2016 update post living room parlor floor subway tiles in the making the brownstone is still getting my full attention just that that attention has been a bit spread out lol i m going to try and just upload a good number of photos to catch everyone up on what i ve been working on if anyone is on instagram my tag on there is kj_yotemom and i ve been being pretty good at uploading pics on there daily i decided to join in on a challenge right now called dollhouse therapy a number of ladies are participating and working on one or two rooms of their dollhouses a month final reveal is end of june i believe i joined to make sure i keep up with working on this little monster lol first picture is of what i m thinking will be the floor for my living room parlor area this was done using a mariner dome kit from brodnax and salvaged wood from a floor i took out of a rehab dollhouse rather amazed it came out as well as it did the edges have been trimmed up since taking that picture and i applied a coat of minwax paste finishing wax so the floor has a lovely soft sheen now next picture is what i ve been working on the last few days making my own mini subway tiles from polymer clay this may actually be more repetitive than mini shingling and i didn t know that was possible things you learn along the way but i do want to say i m glad i m taking the time to make these as it s one way to really make this brownstone unique third picture is of a fireplace i got from an estate on ebay it s by unique miniatures and once i m done with it i m hoping it will look like white marble we will see lots of details to paint around and i ve not attempted to marble in miniature before seems like this house is a lot of firsts for me probably why it s been as frustrating and rewarding as it has been anyways i ve also managed to paint the brick sheets that will be cladding the brownstone at least the base color still have to go back to paint some bricks to be more varied but i m loving the way it s looking so far this will have the plastic sheets of bricks on the sides and backs and then paperclay bricks on the front i originally ordered the sheets of bricks b c the house originally had that plastic coating on the front have to love the irony anyways going to jump off here and see to the real life house at the moment hope everyone had a great weekend posted by kelli at 9 19 pm 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest tuesday march 15 2016 working backwards sideways any way but what i normally would the title of the post says it all i m literally working on steps that i at this point normally wouldn t ever dream of working on i still don t technically have four walls together this is because i m trying to figure out how i m going to electrify this little gem i had both side walls glued previously with each floor fitted into their slots only to go down the next day and realize there was a definite tilt as i prefer the idea of a stylish classy brownstone the look of ready to fall over just wasn t going to work this was my session with this that i was contemplating the other week just taking it out and starting a nice bonfire in the driveway luckily after scouring the internet i found out a way to get my dollhouse shell apart with a lot less effort than i had already been putting into it and getting no where apparently it s a technique used by antique furniture restorers to loosen wood glue white vinegar drizzled along the glue line let it set for 10 15 minutes then use a heat gun to loosen it the rest of the way one still needs to be careful when pulling the sections apart but if you re patient and let the vinegar do it s thing it will i promise you come apart without much issue so anyways i now have the bottom and top glued into their respective slots on one side panel of the house before i glue on the other again i want to use my dremel to sand 1 4 slots for my tapewire to fit before i slide the other side on i m hoping to do that tomorrow after i do my cardio routine boyfriend wants to lose weight and he s inspired me to join him though my goal isn t weight loss so much as build lean muscle mass in reference to the title i m trying my hands at different parquet patterns for a few of the different rooms in this house as well as different patterns of stained glass i ve done actual stained glass in real life but in miniature it s an entirely different business piece of plexi after cutting stained glass first for my attempts i m using 1 8 inch thick plexiglass i cut this into the sizes i d need with my dremel cutting blade and a sharp razor blade basically i just used the dremel to get a little ways down along the lines i d drawn then did the same on the reverse i didn t want to go all the way through i find if you let the dremel work for you and don t force it you shouldn t have any issues like melting or whatnot once i was comfortable with the depth of cut i d gotten from the dremel on both sides i then used a sharp razor blade to score it a couple more times and i was then able to snap it pretty easily my edges aren t perfect but i intend to insert these windows into channel molding once done which will cover any irregularities this picture shows the first that i m working on the solder lines are done with lead golf tape i got mine from amazon and thankfully pretty cheap i cut my main straight lines at 1 8 thick then got gutsier and cut my detail lines at 1 16 thick this definitely has a steep learning curve and it s not going to seem perfect when you re overlapping lead but remember real stained glass soldering isn t perfect either i figure it s lending to the realism side note i have found most of my patterns on pinterest or free sites for stained glass as i don t have a printer with me currently it s been a lot of staring at pictures and sketching once i get done with the front side i m going to repeat the process on the back matching my lead lines as best as i possibly can a definite note to remember with this no matter what make sure you wash your hands before you go for food or drink i would say as soon as you re done working with the lead the better just to be on the safe side now in regards to the parquet i have a couple of compass styled kits from brodnax i m hoping to get one made up for this house however i don t want everything to be classic i want a little edge this is going to take a while in here as well a classy brownstone with attitude sounds good to me insert my inspirations from m c escher i m attempting a 3 d look cube floor made with 3 different types of wood veneer this has been going pretty smoothly in the cutting now it s just trying to piece it all together guarantee that s going to be a few more days that s all that i ve been up to for the last few and in all likelihood what i ll be continuing to do for the next several trying to be good though and keep you all updated on my progress and keep my pics coming if there s something specific i ve not added pictures of and you want to see just let me know in the comments and i ll see if i can t make it happen hope you all have a good one posted by kelli at 2 59 am 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest monday march 7 2016 georgetown dollhouse kit elusive and dangerous alright now that i m feeling back on track and fairly settled into the new house i ve been wanting to focus on my miniature making and dollhouserie i brought one 1 12 house with me to work on which i ve had for a couple of years but kept being put off by the front of it the facade is mdf which had several thick glue slicks on the back and then the front was done in a plastic coating which with time has been cracking and flaking off in several spots initially i had no clue how to combat the issues with the plastic however i decided this was one kit i could pack up fairly easily in a plastic tote and bring with me to my new home to work on when i could as i had moved to enter into a new job and see how i and my boyfriend would do with living together i knew i would need some sort of project to keep me sane at times lol i realize that sounds terrible but i ve never lived with someone before and have always prized my alone time thankfully he not only understands that but appreciates it as well sooo where am i with this rarely seen house thankfully not out in the driveway having a bonfire with the pieces like i wanted to a couple of weeks ago i ve never had any one house give me so many issues at literally every step of the way tonight though i want to share the only article i ve ever found in regards to this kit and then also how i m planning on making the uh oh s and oh no s work for both me and the kit the article description and picture are from the miniatures catalog third edition located on page 65 in the townhouse section i ve honestly only ever seen the one i have in person and i ve looked for this model elsewhere ebay craigslist etsy you name it i ve never seen another anywhere so i have to wonder if perhaps the plastic coating made it more unpopular or what the reasoning may be either way as mentioned my issue was that age had taken it s toll and a good bit of the plastic on my front opening panel was to be frank cracked flaking or had holes not a good start for an elegant brownstone i then had the brilliant idea of using some of the krylon stone finish paint to give texture to the bricks worked out well til a well meaning man whom will remain nameless decided to be helpful and stand it upright while drying left my building with some nasty paint runs so being brilliant and wanting to move forward as in fix the mess i used a paint stripper to remove the paint that was my second big uh on moment as the paint stayed on in those nasty streaks but the plastic came off almost everywhere else so i did some research and found a product called goof off it removes paint but is safe on plastic that helped me to get rid of the streaks thankfully however now i had a panel that still had the roof detail and shutters but most everything else was obliterated oh this kit also had no window panes so i ll be doing something from scratch to replace those anyways while i had bought sheets of plastic brick to paint and put on the sides to match the front i now had a very sad looking not a lot of brick detail left front thankfully i ve got two bags of miniature stone from andi mini brick and stone which will work well to replace the side detailing of the front in addition this has pushed me to try my hand with paperclay i have two packs and am hoping to emulate reproduce most of the original brick detail with it simply put while i thought this project was going to be up in flames the other week for how upset i was getting with everything going wrong i ve decided positive is always better and there s always an answer even if not what we had initially planned on posted by kelli at 8 50 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest sunday march 6 2016 been a long time gone yikes i have been away from this forever it seems thankfully after moving i find myself with a new dedicated craft mini room in the basement which my boyfriend delights in calling my dungeon lol it s a happy dungeon though and i ve truly been enjoying my time in it i only brought one 1 12 scale project with me but as my brownstone has been delighting in stymieing me nearly every step of the way i ve also been trying my hand at smaller scales to date i have one of four corner scenes done the first i finished the other day is in 1 144 scale and depicts spring definitely have to say painting in this small a scale takes some getting used to however i truly found i enjoyed how quickly i was able to complete this project and how nice it really looks in regards to my blogging i am contemplating moving over to bloglovin just for the simple matter it is seemingly easier for me to move around and find similarly minded folks for now that s all i can really update with but hope everyone is doing wonderfully div id mtgwmzaymju a href
