March 24 - 30th 2012
About a month ago, I joined the Half-Scale Yahoo Group for people who are interested in half-scale miniature as opposed to the 1/12 scale which is more common. I had mentioned that I am working on a Japanese inspired house and one member was nice enough to send me a file from a scan of fabric which were little kimonos. All I had to do was reduce it to scale and transfer it to some fabric to make little kimonos for my house (and in particular, the Spa Changing room). It worked out great. You can find ink jet transfer sheets so all you have to do is print onto the transfer and then iron onto some cotton fabric. Deal done and the final effect is very satisfying. With the bench and the little details, the spa changing room is done (altho I’m still planning to add some things under the sink as well as a little bar or soap and maybe a mirror above the sink).

The ceiling of the first floor room was easy yet fitting it into slightly warped walls was a challenge. At least it showed me that I had installed a wooden beam piece in the kitchen ceiling wrong so I had to take that apart and reglue it. Much better looking now. I drilled the necessary holes in the ceiling and the back wall to allow for the lighting once it gets installed.
Will be gone for a few days on a trip to Hamburg to see the biggest miniature train set in the world (or so they claim...) Pics will follow obviously.
