On this website I show the progress of my dollhouse. This, in half scale built, dollhouse consists of 5 Amsterdam Canal Houses. This dollhouse is a replica of the premises built at the Bickersgracht in Amsterdam in the 18th and 19th centuries. They still exist. This building was made by a grandfather for his granddaughter. When he was finished the granddaughter had other interests and the building was sold.

Kroonluchters

Afgelopen zaterdag heb ik een workshop gevolgd van Sun, Nalladris. Bling, bling is absoluut niet mijn ding. Maar in het trappenhuis van nummer 28 horen volgens mij twee kroonluchters te hangen. Marie-Louise kwam met het idee om het filigraan te verouderen. Dit geeft de kroonluchters HET effect dat goed past bij een oud grachtenpand.
Het lukte me niet om de lampen af te krijgen. Vandaag ben ik begonnen met het monteren van het laatste onderdeel. De kaarsjes. Zo staan de lampen op dit moment op mijn werktafel. Om te voorkomen dat de lamp heen en weer blijft bewegen heb ik hem op een kneedgum gedrukt.

De kroonluchters heeft Sun voor mij in half-scale ontworpen. Ze zijn 35 mm. breed en 50 mm. hoog.
Last Saturday I attended a workshop with Sun. Bling, bling is not my thing. But in the staircase of number 28 belongs to hang chandeliers. Marie-Louise came up with the idea of ​​aging the filigree. This gives the chandeliers THE effect that fits an old canalhouse.

The chandeliers Sun has designed for me in half-scale. They are 35 mm. wide and 50 mm. high.

In een etui

De schedel die ik heb gekregen tijdens de kerstswap. Ik wist meteen wat ik hiermee ging doen.
Het etui was snel klaar. Maar het zoeken naar de juiste onderdelen voor de pootjes en de slotjes
heeft veel tijd in beslag genomen.

The skull that I got. I knew what I was going to do with this. See the results here.

Mijn inspiratie was een foto op internet. Deze schedel is gemaakt door Albert Jansz Vinckenbrinck. Uit Palmhout (buxus) is deze schedel zeer gedetailleerd gesneden, en is 4 cm. hoog.
My inspiration was a picture on the internet. This skull with case was created by Albert Jansz Vinckenbrinck. Made out of Boxwood  this skull is carved in great detail. It is only 4 cm. in hight.

Some new items for this project

The last few days I did have some time to do some mini.
I bought a birdcages workshop from Jane Harrop with a great instruction how to age them.
Left on the picture you see a small part of the 1:12th scale birdcage I also made.

Later I finished a 1:12th scale project that I started last year. An anchor buoy and a glass globe with an ivy growing in it on a macrame rope. I had these in my bedroom hanging down from the ceiling. That was about 40 years ago.
When these were finished I made another globe with a growing ivy in it in half scale. The globe has a diameter of 1 centimetre.
A picture of all tree of it you can see on my 1:12th scale blog.

Christmas gifts from Marie-Louise

Look what a beautiful half scale presents I received during the 12 days of Christmas swap.

This stunning table with inlaid veneer table top is designed and made by Marie-Louise. The 1930s kitchen cabinet is, I suspect, a kit of Jane Harrop. The carafe is so delicately and beautifully and the lamp is also homemade.

       Also a nice skull I got.
       I already do have a great idea what to do with this.
          
I am very spoiled with all these beautiful gifts. Thank you again Marie-Louise.
