Miniature abandoned kitchen.
The scene is done! :)
Inspiration : my mum who loves to photograph abandoned spaces and often takes part in the 'lost spaces' tours in Berlin; Lori Nix, whose work I adore; history of humankind (we've been through a few ends of civilizations already); the sublime (beauty in what is technically ugly)
Goods : a kitchen I made a few years ago but I didn't really like anymore. The fridge was found on ebay, the sink I bought in a miniature shop in Barcelona.
Why? : I have a fascination for abandoned places, in the sense that they show what's going to be left when we die or go. They remind us of our inevitable end. And also that things (and vegetation) will outlive us.

The Southsea Miniature Railway first opened in 1932 as a 9.5" gauge line operated by a pair of Bassett Lowke 4-4-2 steam locos. After the war it was taken over by new owners and reguaged to 10 1/4" and operated by a pair of steam locos built by Guest and acquired secondhand from Dudley Zoo. The railway was a huge success .....for example, over 7,000 passengers rode the train over the August bank holiday weekend in 1946.
During the late 1940s/early 50s a company called Southern Miniature Railways built three similar steam locos - 'Valiant' and 'Victory' went to Southsea while the third, 'Vanguard' went to their own railway in Poole Park...in 1951 they also took over operation of the Southsea line.
In the early 1960s the railway built a couple of petrol locos and the steamers were sold off in 1964.
The railway closed at the end of 1976 and the two petrol locos were sold to the railway at Sandham Castle on the Isle of Wight. The line at Southsea reopened the following year as a 17" gauge third-rail electric operation. In 1985 it was rebuilt back to 10 1/4" but finally closed in 1989.
The two old petrol locos were later scrapped when the Sandham Castle railway closed down. The steam locos, Valiant and Victory, spent some years in a scrapyard before being rescued, the best bits of the two were incorporated into one locomotive and this now runs on a private railway in Lincs.
Where was the railway situated? The station was located close to where the aquarium now stands. It then ran down beside the sea wall towards Southsea Castle where it turned around a loop and came back again. Back then this area was known as Children's Corner and in addition to the train there was an outdoor swimming pool, boating lake, amusements and even a zoo. Everything is now gone and apart from the aquarium the remainder of the site is now just an empty field.
I really rock sometimes, if I may say so. (I know, I don't suffer from modesty).
I finished my initial round of miniatures for the Momoko kitchen. Mostly, they are what you saw in the work-in-progress shots, plus some random bits, like yogurt tubs made from toothpaste caps.
YAY! It's just like old times in Russia, when I used to make everything for my dolls (except now I have Google, and Photoshop, and a good printer, and graphic design skillz ^_^ )
So. Who wants to know how I did these buggers?
Ok. On the left we've got 3 tubs of yogurt. Labels came from trawlling the Google. The lids were sort of winged - I took part of the side label and filled in where it needed it to make it into a circle. The templates were made by the age-old respected tradition of winging it. I was all set to remember my geometry, and even recalled a couple of formulas, and then I was like, oh, wtf, and wrapped a piece of paper around the cap, traced the borders, and scanned the sucker.
Cans and jars came with the furniture set. I painted the tops and bottoms with silver for the cans, and the jars got golden lids. Labels are from the internet for the jars and the tomato cans. The canned fruit labels I designed in the best traditions of Re-Ment - instead of "Del Monte" the label reads "Ful Monte" ^_^
The soap thing came with the set. It used to be lavender ^_^ The bottles started out as dirty ivory.
The dressing bottle started its life as a hard liquor from Gloria set. I decided to rehab it, because I feel that its shape is much better suited to be a dressing bottle.
I designed the labels for the bags. I decided that one will be string beans and the other - fava beans. The apples had to be red delicious. The UPC codes had nothing to do with anything, they're probably not even scannable at this point.

I have always wanted a miniature book and I finally have one. This is Bijou Illustrations of the Life of Christ. I think the tiny engravings are amazing.
No cover but all the pages are there. They also published things like an almanac and punch cartoons, I would rather have had those but I am not grumbling.
(Sorry about Kizzie's, or is it Ruby's, butt in the background lol)
The Re-ment Addicts Group did a Color Theme Challenge quite some time ago, but I didn't have time to do it. I was inspired by all of the great photos they did, so now that I have a lot of time on my hands, I decided it would be fun to do. I am going to do the whole rainbow, and probably post way more photos than I should!

My cousin came for a visit and she said she wanted to go to the Taiwan Miniature Museum. You don't have to ask me twice to go! I was suprised to see them showcase Re-ment! This is a roombox promoting their miniature airplane exhibit.

Today is St David's Day, so I thought I'd post a picture of some very pretty miniature narcissi. I'm not Welsh, and haven't been to Wales for years. I did once have a Welsh teacher, and she always wore a daffodil on her jacket on St David's Day.
You can't really tell from the image, but these tiny blooms were only 1" wide, and they had a wonderful scent.
If I had been smart I should have created a library of miniature books, rather than the excessively large books that I tend to acquire. I don't have a large (oxymoronic) miniature book collection, but have a sampling of about a dozen presses that I admire, and a few that my students made of which I am especially proud.
