This weekend a dollshouse and miniature fair is being held in Hobart so I went to have a look. Here are some of the exhibits.
Miniature houses, based on actual buildings from the Söderby estate in Handen. Made by Göte, who has lived at the estate all his life.
There is something very pleasing about looking at a model, and making
real-world scenes into models even more so - you get absolute
reality, in miniature. Why is it so pleasing? Perhaps we all like to
feel godlike, from time to time.
There are plenty of sites that detail how you achieve this trick -
mask the area of focus and then use the lens blur filter; boost the
color saturation; in Photoshop CS/CS2; Google it. Aerial shots work
best. Here is my first stab, of a ruined castle in Germany.
Miniature porcelain artwork featuring an original illustration imprinted onto the surface.
A small hole on the top of each one makes it ready to hang.
Young Queens Secret Crystal Ball
Made of clear glass, this handmade miniature dollhouse scale (1:12) crystal ball sits on a clear glass platonic solid geometric shape, mostly likely a polygon. It has a fabulous red inner design. The clear glass ball has natural occlusions. It is approximately 3/4” tall.
This real photo of tiny fake people looks just like a photo of real people that have been made to look tiny and fake! OMG!
Handmade mini "chocolate" 1:12 scale. Available at www.revellosworld.de/produkt/2-tafeln-schokolade/
a tilt-shift miniature (fake) from the motel where i was staying in Phoenix. This one definitely works best viewed large.
I made this little blank book as a demonstration of sewing with a four-hole French stitch. The paper used was off-cuts of Arches wove text and the cover is Roma handmade over boards. It measures 1 3/16" wide by 1 3/8" high.
We made this little house from a Northeastern Scale Models kit.
It has six rooms and a large attic. We have decorated all the inside walls with wallpaper and covered the windows inside with curtains. We have also added a fireplace to the wall that the chimney rests against. The chimney itself we covered in a brick pattern paper. This house measures 3 1/8 inches wide, 2 inches deep and 2 3/4 inches to the top of the chimney.
We came across a whole herd of these beautiful little critters the other day, and I took several shots of them. This one is my favorite, but I do have more to follow.
Thanks to skeletal mess for the texture.
I took this at a Fairy Gardening class that was held at Twigs in Encinitas. They have a large selection of plants, flowers and succulents to put in your garden. They also have miniature garden supplies for purchase to put in your Fairy Garden.
This was my favorite location today. I love how the blue daylight is contrasted with the red curtains. Unfortunately, it doesn't work as a miniature for me because the bottom half is too crowded. If there were only one person sitting at the top-right table and the other eight tables were empty, now that would look insanely great. In fact, I'll try to take that picture in the next couple of days.
A rainbow layered pastry, known as lapis sagu or kueh lapis. A traditional favourite in the South-east Asia. :)
This treat brings back waves of childhood memories, of me peeling the layers off neatly and rolling them up before popping it in my mouth.
Traditionally, the top layer is always red, although I have yet to discover why.
Available in the store. (check my profile!)
