First Dollhouse
I’m making it from scratch, because I want to make it in traditional russian style. I love Russian architecture, village houses, well it’s better show it:
I have a huge collection of such wonderful houses. So I decided to build a tradesman’s house. His little shop on the first floor, and couple of rooms on the second. It should be 17th century or 18th. Haven’t decided yet:) It’s easy to move from century to another – traditions in building wooden houses have remained nearly the same.
Parquetry
I was making it for the very first time, so I worried that it wouldn’t go well. Luckily I was wrong, I made few mistakes – I needed to draw the plan on the floor (forgive my English) but didn’t do it. In the end I had to make over some parts.
After first try, I go through photos of Russian palaces and houses, I wish I could make such great ornaments too!
On Sunday…
My hubby bought me Proxxon mini-lathe. I’m so happy. I just need to buy some chisels and scrapers, can’t wait to try it!
Also I bought scrollsaw, tried it in action. Works smoothly and cuts everything I need.
So, maybe this week I’ll buy some more veneer and basswood.
