This little pitcher started out being a vase. I got a little lopsided with the carving, so made a handle and spout to turn it into a pitcher instead.

A first coat of wash has been applied, using tan and sandstone paint.

1/2" scale

Actually this area in the scale model and in real life is made up of all the Brooklyn beaches, Coney, Brighton, etc. That white section jutting out is the Coney Island Pier.

This is a simple design that looks soft and pretty with the Aqua background and Pink inside. It doesn't need any flowers, but I liked how a few looked for the pictures.

The top part of the fireplace has been glued on, and the whole thing is now in the right place.

I'm still undecided about the extra piece to the right of the fireplace, near the top of the wall

1/12th scale blanket chest about 4 inches long. I made this as an exchange gift for the Ontario Miniatures Gathering in April 2010.

Walnut stain and beeswax finish. The top is hinged and opens.

Someone is having a bit of fun if you look closely at the Harlem 125th Bridge. See next pic for close-up.

The first fridge I made for Lavender Coottage was not right. I wanted an older-style fridge with a rounded top for Lavender Cottage. This is how I built it using pieces of quarter round and square bits.

I still need to make stuff for the top shelf.

i tend to not do "usual" dolls

The first row of logs is now in place.

This shows the hole the pillar will eventually be glued into.

With some of the styrofoam "rocks" already in place. Another "rock" has just been glued on and is drying.

The pillar has not been glued in place yet, but is resting in a cavity carved into the "rock".

Now that the first paint wash is on, I can see a few things that need tweeking. That will be done next, then the second wash will be applied.
