Осень, снег.
Зима подкралась совсем не заметно, и я уже с грустью думаю о том, что еще полгода жить вот среди этого снега и грязи от дорог. Эх. После переезда, наш красивый вид на липовую аллею сменился грустным пейзажем – дорога и старый сталинский дом. Смотреть хочется только красивые картинки в альбомах.
В общем, подуставшее настроение у меня. Впереди работа над новым предметом, который я вам и показать не смогу, только осенью следующего года. Это я на шоу предмет делаю. А пока из старенького, поигралась с цветом, так сказать.
Для тех, кто в мой инстаграм не ходит – это я доделала русский диван и кресла. Плетение пришлось правда значительно затемнить и состарить, но! Буду со временем еще затемнять, так как боюсь испортить. Как смелости набираюсь, так иду портить. Пока вот сил нет.
Кресла мне особенно по душе, они выпили сильно меньше крови, чем диван. Да и плетение заняло всего несколько дней. На данный момент плести больше не хочу 🙂
Росписью я почти довольна, финиш мне удалось сделать матовым, спасибо лаку Шминке. Но все равно он зараза долго сохнет и я все переживаю, не будет ли он снова липнуть. Заказала вот ренессанс воск, надеюсь, что с ним будет получше покрытие.
Новый фон, пока для этих предметов только. Надо еще один сделать.
Tuscan Table.
I wish I had two more days, just 16 hours of work, probably I’d be completely happy then. But, I have only three hours a day, and my kid is sick, so I finished it a bit earlier. Lots of photos below.
Dollhouse bricks. Almost real!
There are some things that truly inspire. They can make you create a whole room just for them. And recently I found one in Russian social site. In one of the groups I saw a post about miniature bricks with lots of photos, and I was blown away. It’s hard to find an artisan in Russia who creates such complicated things (I’m speaking about technology and process involved) from scratch.
I loved the bricks and instantly wanted to buy them though I had no idea how I could use them, besides I’m making furniture mostly, not roomboxes (sigh). Minutes later I decided to make some sort of decoration for one of my items for Christmas Kensington Festival. I ordered 2kg of bricks.
Dmitry, an artisan who makes these bricks, was also very kind, he sent me bricks of another scale too (1/9) and half-bricks. Look how cool they are:

Spice Chest
I didn’t expect it to finish so early! Less than a month, my personal record with the kid at home 🙂
The only thing I regret – I didn’t take any photos of WIP, when I was making drawers and legs. Making legs was fun! I bought a duplicator sometime ago, and I was really into trying it, because I heard rave reviews about it. But I didn’t have a chance because I was moving to the new apartment then I was busy with customizing my table saw… Then I had no time to install this damn duplicator, I have only forty to sixty minutes a day to work on minis, sooo… I did it the old way, with chisels and hands 🙂 But, it turned out quite good.
Art Deco Tables
Well, it’s been a while since my last update on these tables. They’re done now!
The first one is with straw marquetry top, the table itself is made of walnut.
Majorelle armoire cabinet! Done, done, done!
I’m super happy that it’s finally finished, because I’m a bit tired of all these butterflies and leaves and curves, and want to move to something simple again. It was quite a job, but I managed to make it quite good. Overall, it was fun! I still need to make the inner frame for the central door to cover the “glass”, but it won’t take long.

Вторая часть видео про инструменты, тут я немного накосячила с фокусом, извиняйте. Сейчас уже разобралась, в новых видео буду исправляться.
French chic
Well, it’s done! I wish I could make more, but the thing is I’m out of time and need to make other items too. I finished this day bed long-long time ago but the textile part took a lot of time, because I was sewing it while my daughter was sleeping 🙂 Then I ordered a cat and a dog…

New Year holidays
We had very long holidays – almost 12 days! I had so many plans – to make new table for my Proxxon table saw, then making jigs for it, even my husband was going to help me with my kid, but here we are. Monday!
I’m afraid this year I won’t be very productive with furniture, actuallly… we’ll see, but I’m preparing for the worse scenario, while hoping that it’s going to be just fine.
Anyway, I’ll show you something from the last year!
It’s 3mm wide bobbin lace edging – I’m pretty happy with the result, especially with new entomology pins, they are so thin, that I realised I needed thinner cotton thread for this edging.
I already used this edging for two pillows, here is one WIP.
