In Progress

Author: Виктория, September 24, 2009 в Uncategorized

Finished one half of the facade. Almost. I didn’t expect it would take so much time. This was supposed to be fun!;)

Today I was watching  “Woodturning for furniture”, so I’m playing with lathe again – making   the blank for claw foot. Doesn’t look good for me, it’s a long road.

I wasn’t going to post this because it’s still in progress, but here it is.

Half of the weekend was spent on glueing bricks, making  arches, it takes so much time, I didn’t expect it!:) Somehow, I decorate the house instaggered order. I don’t know why.:)

Windows are finished.

Sorry for not updating the blog for so long – I had wonderful weekend away from computer.:) Besides my holidays are over and I’m back to writing my graduate work. It will be my second diploma.

 

But I manage to find some time for my doll’s house. I’ve finished making window frames. It looks okay for the beginning, I haven’t painted it yet  – just did some sandpapering. It will be all done after I choose the veneer for the exterior.

There will be a balcony on the second floor, oh well, I haven’t made it yet))

Bricks, vricks

Author: Виктория, September 9, 2009 в Uncategorized

We don’t look for easy ways.. These days I was reading a lot of posts about making bricks, imitating them and so on.
In the beginning I was going to use clay bricks, made of Jovi white air dry clay. I made half of the wall – but I didn’t like the result. Besides, I had to paint it later. So, I was thinking of making simple molds for the bricks from  silicone rubber. Then I would try using alabaster as a brick material.
And here it is. First of all, I’ve made wooden bricks, I used balsa wood. And then I glued them to the sheet of plywood.

After that, I covered the surface with beeswax.
Then I used, hm, not sure if it sounds right in English – sealant compound. Pretty easy to use. I could buy white and transparent one. I didn’t have much of the white, so I used it just to see how it goes.  And here’s the result.

 
Unfortunately, I was right: I didn’t have enough compound, so it’s not a perfect form. But I know now how to make it, so I’ll try again with transparent compound today.

Window frames

Author: Виктория, September 3, 2009 в Uncategorized

It was a day of window frames. Glueing, sandpapering, but still I’ve managed to finish only half. The rest is awaiting!:)

To make it more fun I browse through Ads and signs that were made before revolution. Can’t choose the most beautiful, they all are.

Dollhouse again

Author: Виктория, August 31, 2009 в WIP, WIP, WIP, WIP, WIP, WIP

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

Author: Виктория, August 31, 2009 в Dollhouse, Dollhouse, Dollhouse, Dollhouse, Dollhouse, Dollhouse, Dollhouse, Uncategorized

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.
