I have been able to do much miniature work lately. I becomes a train that can not be stopped once I get started. I's fun that everything has gone so smoothly, but now I notice how tired I get of crafting. It's probably the other way around for many, they do it to relax. Of course, it can be relaxing for me too but it takes a lot of energy. But it's nice to have done some things that I'm going to sell at the fair.
These are some of my recent projects. I have made a table, chair. lights, a canvas, and a bench. Mostly I do things inspired by pictures of things or real furniture. However, the table, bench and chair are my own designs =) All of a sudden I got an idea how I wanted a chair, but has never made a chair before so I had to look on the internet how I would do it. This is made of matboard because it´s a test, but then I'll do it in wood. a little bigger, I think that it must be. I´m going to to make a lot of different kinds of lights later. It will be fun!
I bought the cardboard to make shelves for the fair, but it was the beginning of a house instead =) I was looking for inspiration and found this "house". I was going to see if I can build one myself =) so it became finnished yesterday. Then I found more stuff that this man has done and was inspired to do a "real TV".
Oh how happy you can be when you see the miniatures come to life =)
It is far from complete but I just wanted to show you in the process =) It was a bit hard to film with the webcam but you can see a little bit at least =)
I'll show more pictures later when it's done!
Right now I have quite a lot to do .
Me and Hannah who I got to know in a group for miniatures on Facebook are going to sell on the miniature fair in Stockholm in April.It´s very exciting, but i´m scared I that I dont get to do all the things in time. It feels like time goes by really fast . It will be so fun to meet her for the first time. We 've talked a lot on Facebook but never met in real life.She is very talented at making needle felted animals and things in clay.I will be selling modern miniatures at the fair . In Sweden it seems to be most common with old-fashioned style in miniatures, so I do not know how it will be to sell modern
things .Today I bought cardboard which I'll try to make the shelves and have on the table.
I'm building a dollhouse also if it works with just cardboard.I have also noticed that there is a great interest in my mini lundbyhouses .I shall make a few of them and sell at the fair .
It will be so much fun =)
I just had to buy a 1:6 doll. I have wanted to make clothes and shoes in 1:12 but realized that it was really difficult.
So now I finally bought a 1:6 doll to try to make some high heels and nice clothes.
I will continue to do most miniatures in 1:12 and 1:144, but it will be some 1:6 too =)
Interior design is easiest to do on a smaller scale, but the clothes I make bigger.
It will be interesting to try =)
Oh my! I ended up on this page today and every little thing makes me totally amazed! Everything are so wonderful! I just wanted to share with you what I found, perhaps you will be as inspired as me =)
Just take a look at the pastamachine and the office lamp!! =)

I'm so happy!
I finished this Lundby house today, that should be in a 1:12 house.
I put up pictures of the facebook group for miniaturister that I'm in, and became completely inundated with comments about the house =) I'm so touched =)
Because there were so many people like it, Im considering making one to which I can sell. Maybe a particular style or if any one is interested, maybe customized.
But I dont know what I would be able to charge for it ...
What would you pay for such a house?
