It’s been ages since I have done one of these. They were my prop and mainstay during a lot of Covid. Especially during lockdowns and when my creativity was absent. But since life has gone back to normal I’ve been doing other things. However I did have two on my shelf unmade. So this is the work of the last few days.
It’s a sweet little kit, I’ve learned to avoid ones with too many plants-so much teensy cutting, and too many wire elements-constantly sticking them my fingers with super glue.
I need some suggestions from you creative people about what to do with them, 14 little houses take up a lot of shelf room. I am thinking I could create people for them, with back stories. But there must be something more interesting I could add/do/display
If you’re willing to part with any of them you could maybe find locations that would like to display them like a library or coffee shop. Especially if you could match the mini to some elements of the location.
In my house I would love to have almost hidden little scenes like this in random spots around the house (like as if the Borrowers or Littles had made homes in the back of a cupboard or high up on a seldom used shelf. Dusting them might be tricky, though.
FOURTEEN!? Wow! This one does have a specific charm to it to my eye. Maybe as it’s a little sleeker in design style? It looks like an ad for AirBnB - homey and comfortable, but not overly stark.
My image of displaying them is a vertical/columnar floating shelf arrangement from near floor to near ceiling. But, OY, the dusting!
Whoa! Color me impressed. 14?!?!? This one is magnificent and honestly, I was impressed before I knew how small it was and then I saw the one with the clothespin in it and holy smokes! This is sooo tiny and magnificent.
This looks like such a cozy little apartment! I didn’t realize just how small it is until that last picture with the clothespin. Holy moly, it’s tiny, which makes it even more impressive!
a tad impractical alright.
