Continuing with the same color scheme... Each is about 3" tall, folded from rectangles of Elephant Hide paper.
I've been sculpting with lots of passion this month, and corals are my latest obsession :)

A view of Harpers Ferry NPS, West Virginia, from Maryland Heights. To the left is the Shenandoah River and to the right is the Potomac. The train tracks service Amtrak, MARC, and CSX freight.
And a little tomfoolery with lens blur....

Penang (Malay: Pulau Pinang) is an island off the northwestern coast of Peninsular Malaysia. It is also the name of the Malaysian state which is made up of Penang Island and the facing strip of territory on the mainland called Seberang Perai (formerly Province Wellesley).
Penang's beaches are nice, though a little lackluster when compared to those in some other Malaysian states, but this is more than compensated for by the island's rich multicultural history which is full of Malay, Chinese, Indian and European influences.
Penang is also well known for being the "food paradise" of Malaysia. -wiki
This belongs in my colonial dollhouse dining room. I made/customized some accessories for it the past 2 days.
Miniature Intercity 47834 stands in the passing loop, around halfway along the Hastings Miniature Railway's running line, on 3/9/16.
I store my miniatures in IKEA KUPOL boxes. They are really nice quality and come in different stackable sizes. There is a whole wall in my apartment dedicated for them, haha...
My system is:
- each box gets a complete series, including multiples (which means that sometimes I need to buy the larger box, depending on how many individual sets a series has...or how big the items are)
- boxes are sorted by company (Re-Ment, Megahouse, Orcara, Bandai, MIMO, T for Candy, Others) and by release date (from bottom to top and left to right: oldest to newest)
- I keep all leaflets/papers in the boxes for now, but I wanted to shrink-wrap them for a while now
My husband made a Minipedia for me to keep track of my sets, with names, translations, tags (like "food", "red", etc.), release date, company, etc. and the option "have"/"need". I still need to take a ton of pictures for it, though...but now that I'm a stay at home mum I might have more time (or at least daylight) for it!
Portreath is a small resort located about 5 miles north of Redruth. It was once a busy port, importing coal and exporting copper but today only the occasional fishing boat shelters in its very narrow harbour. Copper ore was at one time transported from mines in the Chacewater area. Horse-drawn wagons were originally used for this task and the ore was then shipped by the ton to Swansea for smelting. On the return journey the ships would be laden with Welsh coal. The narrow harbour entrance was difficult and tremendous skill must have been needed to navigate sailing ships into and out of the port. Some of the ships would be carrying well over a hundred tons of ore.
At Portreath there is a lovely sandy beach with a stream running down to the sea on the left hand side. The beach is very popular with families and like many beaches on the north Cornish coast Portreath is also very popular with surfers. Bodyboarders arrive at high tide on big swells to surf the harbour wall, or Vortex, as it is known. At low tide there are rock pools to explore and a fairly large natural swimming pool in the rocks. Gull Rock sits majestically in the sea and has been the subject of many photographs over the years and a variety of sea birds have made the rock their home
Portreath has a small assortment of shops and cafés but it is the holiday trade which is now the bread and butter of the village
Testing my editing and learning new skills in photoshop! This is the second "miniature" photo I've done, hope it looks okay! :)
