I spent some time puttering today. The oversized pink sofa and black chair have been moved up top and the twin white sofas put back. I made a living room rug from a scrap of faux fur. I used the throw from the Jonathan Adler sofa as a dining room carpet. The JA vases have been moved to the dining table. I'm using the cap from a spray paint as a coffee table.
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
The Miniature Railroad’s story began in 1919 with a man named Charles Bowdish of Brookville, PA. Originally a holiday display on the second floor of his house, it moved to the Buhl Planetarium in 1954, and ultimately found its final home at Carnegie Science Center in 1992.
Miniature Intercity 47834 stands in the passing loop, around halfway along the Hastings Miniature Railway's running line, on 3/9/16.
This belongs in my colonial dollhouse dining room. I made/customized some accessories for it the past 2 days.
Well it is back to work.
Picture is a PS tilt-shift from our summer vacation in Venice.
The miniature effect is better viewed large.
I will post some of the shots I got during our stay in this wonderful city.
this wonderful collection of hand-carved miniatures, all done by one local artisan working in his kitchen, is displayed at the Adirondack Museum in Blue Mountain Lake, New York

I created this small miniatures set using corks, rolling papers, commercial magazines, cigarette filters, a straw and glue.
Enjoy your snacks
Another attempt at fake tilt shift photography, this time of the train the runs between the 5 Cinque Terre towns; here in Manarola, Italy.
Even though I had better light in this shot, I think I prefer my first attempt better.
To get full effect, please see large on black.
HMS!

This is A5 with a miniature christmas kitchen scene drawn in gel ink. I do loads of miniature drawn scenes, this is a scan of the original which I gave as a framed picture to a friend for christmas. I love drawing them but they always end up looking like my kitchen!
Made from a pair of modified “weed-eater” engines this racing engine was slated to power a model speed boat. Ed coupled the two crankcases together, installed a custom made double throw crankshaft and modified the cylinders to accept his large capacity water jacketed heads. It is equipped with a belt driven peristaltic water pump to keep the engine cool while on the running stand. The stand houses the fuel tank and fuel pump, a water tank and radiator, and a pair of electronic ignitions; one for each spark plug. A special ring gear was added to the flywheel that can easily be accessed from above once the engine is installed in a boat. Ed wanted a fast engine that makes noise so he opted for a pair of upright exhaust stacks for audible effect.

My collection so far of miniatures from Mab's shop from a dear friend who gave me Mab bucks!! The quality is amazing!!!
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!
