English Dollhouse again
After sending the present to my Mum – I can get back to my house. The first project gave me so much experience, I think I would have changed a lot when I was constructing the house, but.. it’s already done and I’ll fix it all, no doubt. (duh, I hope)
It should be very Russian, very traditional:)
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.
Румбокс
Happy Birthday, Mum!
I’ve made this roombox for my Mum’s birthday. Hope she’ll like it.
Btw, this is my first roombox project – all by myself, from parquetry to the furniture. I’m so excited! Looks like a good start to me.
