Some news and my Etsy shop
The weather in Moscow is terrible – raining and no sun at all. Even May was perfect with its sunny days.
And now I’m back to work with another project, need to model everything in 3d before, it’s quite complicated project for me, so I have to work in several programs at the same time.
As for the rest – I added my Mom’s dolls on my site and also opened my Etsy shop though there are only few items left.
Art nouveau chair
It’s just about ten days till KDF, so let the panic begin! I need to pack everything, check all over again, make some textile for art nouveau bed. Lots of things! But before that, about a chair:
My favorite art nouveau set
I finished making cabinets for art nouveau sofa. Quite happy with the result.
Art Nouveau Side Cabinets.
Well, it’s finally time to make side cabinets for my art nouveau sofa. 🙂 Here it is:
I don’t even remember why I didn’t make them, I started making carved panels, they are somewhere, in one of five huge boxes with scrap wood, hehe. I won’t waste my time on looking for them. It’s much easier to make new ones. Besides I had a very rough sketch in Google Sketchup, so I made a new one in Rhino. So far so good, I found quite good mahogany strips, though I still need to make lots of veneer, 2mm.
Chairs
I always wanted to try different art nouveau styles, if I may say so. This time – Vienna Secession, Koloman Moser. At first, I spotted his beautiful wardrobe, but then I saw these chairs and immediately started making drawings.
I really liked this dove marquetry piece – its size in 1/12 is 13 mm on 13 mm. Part of the wings are made with mother of pearl, two types actually.
Marquetry and mother of pearl
Well, the most difficult part, I think, is done. Here are two marquetry doors, and one central with applied carving.
Art nouveau cabinet – WIP
Hooray! I’m back to making art nouveau furniture. More than happy about it, though it means a lot of marquetry, carving, veneering, etc.
Drafting was really fast, I finished it in a couple of days. I took the original from one of Majorelle’s cabinets, found this one on the auction’s sites.
For now, I finished sides (they are veneered with madrone wood) and one marquetry panel for the door. And I’ll need one more, and one more carved panel.
It’s kinda hard to see anything on this panel tight now, but trust me, it’s going to be just fine, though I always worry about the result.
I used about five types of veneer here, lots of work, but it was worth it! The butterfly (if you can spot it;) ) made of mother of pearl.
I wish I could make it faster, but I have another project to work on (the worst part – I can’t show it to you).
Victorian Game Table
It’s done! I’m writing this post and this cute table is right next to me. For now.
Victorian table – part two
Well, here it is – the first part of the work, the most difficult is over, this will be a game table.
Диван, часть последняя.
Вот.
Не буду рассказывать сколько я мучалась с обивкой, успела сделать ее наверное уже раз пять, и снова все было не то. Работать с шелком в миниатюре еще то мучение, конечно. Но коллективный разум не оставил меня в беде, научилась все-таки делать так, чтобы не было лишних складок, чтобы все было аккуратно. Цвет обивки немного другой, это скорее цвет оливок. Ну и на фотографии он выглядит не так хорошо 🙂 Мне очень здесь нравится вышивка, опять же цвета чуток другие, на фотографии все чуть ярче.
Хочется для такого диванчика красивую комнату.
