today Ive been working on the kitchen

over the past couple of days Ive bought 2 new houses so I must get this one to some state of finished ...I know it will never be truly finished but Im back working on it :)

Have a great day :) I did!

jelly babies

more like jelly giants really at 5mm but they were as small as I could manage .I also got my kitchen windows in today :)

slowly

Im starting to get back into my minis again after a bit of a break exploring the state, learning how to use my 2 new toys .... a stone rumbler and a tattoo gun or 3 :) unfortunately I cant show anything as its all related to the latest mystery box . So I leave you for now to view a bit of Tasmania :)

wee dollies

 Ive been making polymer clay dolls the 2 above are the smallest so far ....

each one is different ...they are quirky but I like them :)

UFOs

well what can I say...trying to shame myself into getting these finished ;)

 My Daughter and I painted these and I must get around to framing them... I did the flower ...its about an inch square.

 partially done woodland scene ( a MET project)

 I made too many toadstools lol

 Flocking plastic animals.

 really must do some work on these :(

Another shot of my woodland scene ...not happy with the water but it will do ....bluebell flowers are made from cold porcelain , toadstools are polymer clay and tiny yellow paper flowers ....the birds nest is a gum nut that has begun to decompose. Anyway the box is small and I have plans for in the lid too ;) aprox 10x 15cm . Ok ....they are out there now ...lets hope it makes me finish them ;)

Im lost /Dads latest project

Ok the header is confusing but Im totally lacking motivation at the moment :/ but it will pass :) Heres an update on Dads latest project .

 He's building a replica of the houses in the village we lived in in South Yorkshire.

 There were 6 houses to each block .These houses all shared the same yard.

gates for the yard.He's doing a fantastic job ...yet again :)

 Looking good :)

home made flower soft?

 packing foam ......would make great snow drifts but not sure it would work for flowers.

 Thin sheets of foam seemed to work well .

 Makeup sponges gave a smaller more dense crumb and the humble kitchen sponge worked well too. (although Im not sure if I can find white ones)

There are lots of tutorials for home made flower soft on the net so I thought Id give it a go . Here are the results using different foams. ( not dry yet but wanted to share it :) The first thing I did was grate the foam. I then added the gratings to water ( the amount didnt seem to matter) and used my stick mixer to blend it up more . I then strained the foam from the water and added some colourings to some just to see how they came out . :) Interesting results and different textures .
