I've got some new ideas for the borders, so once I work it out, I will have it up on Etsy as well, along with all the little extras that go with it. Let me tell you I made those tiles one by one out of clay, then painted them all...one by one. But I digress.....Golden moosehead!! Love him. No miniature moose were harmed in the making of this diorama. </div>

Also, I've been using Flickr more often, and I notice now you can see all the details of how I took the photo, like my type of camera, ISO and f-stop and stuff, or something. I really don't enjoy that, everyone is going to see how photo illiterate I am. This sort of sucks. On the other hand, I guess the pressure is on to actually learn how to use my camera. </div>

<br />
<br />
I thought I'd offer some of them for sale, because it's getting a little weird up in here. We got pumpkins all over. And honestly, I love making them. I can't stop. Therefore, I will offer a couple for sale in my Etsy shop, Lovefool Designs. (Which I haven't used in forever, since my ole jewlery craftin' days)<br />

It is a realpuki sized diorama, made with various, various crafty materials. You can see Jackie here, with his guitar (neither of which are included in the selling of this diorama) lookin cute and giving a good size reference.</div>

I'll add some more pics and list in on Etsy as soon as I can get a shipping quote. But i really hope someone likes it. I love it, but I made it so it really doesn't count. I can't be the only one out there obsessed with realpuki pumpkin houses!</div>

Its a little bright, but considering most of my photos need to be edited into brightness, I will take what I can get. Also, I'd like some backgrounds or some props which would make this more fun.....if not for me, than for the cats who never leave me alone when I try to do this.

When I got it, it was just plain wood, so I decided to paint it my current favorite colour, mint green. The knobs and feet are a nice metallic gold, and inside the hutch I painted tiny little shabby roses. I scuffed it up a bit for an old look, and it currently has a couple of layers of a varnish. I think I might add another layer, not sure yet....and those shelves....the edges facing outward, need something. Some<i>thing</i>. Dunno what yet.
And of course, it will need some cute little dishes, maybe a bowl of apples? A doily for sure....Suggestions welcome!<br><br><br>

So this guy is up for consideration.
I would like 220$ + shipping, he is a complete full set and been out of his box 3 or 4 times.
Lookit those little nostrils. How precious!
<br><br>
I'd also accept trades for:<br>
Littlefee chole, ante -no elves<br>
Blythe dolls<br>
IMDA Babette or Gian 2.2<br>
Souldoll Sophie full set<br>
Souldoll Heber<br>

<br />
I found all these little ice cream scoops I made, and decided to finally put them together to make a sundae.<br />
<br />
It seems like maybe I need a cherry on top, but I do like how it looks so far!<br />

I left my dollhouse somewhere safe when we moved a few months ago, it seemed cumbersome and I was petrified it would break but I really need to get the doll house over here, because I keep making empty roomboxes as temps and its getting a little ridiculous. If I could just contain myself and stop starting 39090 things without ever finishing them.....ugh. Anyway, I feel like my roomboxes look cold and empty, like I don't have enough furniture to clutter them up and make them look homey. Mind you, I probably do. </div>

<br />
I thought it would be innovative and fun to take some pics in the light cast by my stained glass window. <br />
The colours reminded me of the scene from Singing In the Rain, where Don takes Cathy onto the empty stage and makes it romantic so he can sing to her.<br />
<br />
And here, my Roro is telling me that I suck at taking pics.<br />

I made that wig ages ago, I just found it in the bottom of a box. I guess I don't hate it.<br />
For now.<br />
Who knows.<br />
Maybe one day I'll either get serious about selling this doll, or do something interesing with her.<br />

They are all plain wooden peices, but I think with some effort they can be made into something nice!!<br />
<br />
So here is the first one, I didn't think to get a before pic....it's a sort of a hutch I guess....<br />
I painted it white, then sanded down the paint for a old farmhouse look, then put a little gloss coat on it.<br />

I wanted to do something special with it, like put scrapbook paper in the shelves or something to make it more fancy...I've seen some neat ones on Etsy. But this peice is probably going into Tinsleys kitchen, therefore, I left it a little plain. The wallpaper in the kitchen is a yellow and orange stripe.</div>

Here are the other two peices to do....not sure where I want to put them, but I wanted to do them in pinks and blues...pastel of course. Actually I'm just sitting here looking at the picture and they just all three really look like kitchen peices. </div>

I thought some curtains would really bring the pumpkin house together, and I would love to finish it this year, so this was my jump off project.<br />

I used a fabric glue to do all the seams....because I hate sewing. This was fast and easy.<br />
<br />

Then I inserted the brass rod and scrunched up the curtains, pinned them to a styrofoam...I had seen this on the blog, only she didn't use pushpins and she didn't use styrofoam. Don't use pushpins or styrofoam. Pushpins are really thick and left obvious holes in the fabric.....sewing pins are way more discreet. <br />

The mystery blogger sprayed her curtains with hairspray to hold them.....I used a spray adhesive. Don't use a spray adhesive. It does not dry well, it made everything sticky AND it melted the styrofoam! Fun!</div>

I am so impressed with the quality of this little dude....he's perfectly adorable, stands and poses really well...(better than my RealPuki I think) and he is balanced....if you want to stand him, and he seems tippy, all you need to do is tilt his head a little, move his torso....etc....he is so well balanced!<br />
<br />
Ok, enough. <br />
But really, if there is one thing I hate its a doll that won't stand or pose well. Kills all the fun.<br />
<br />
Speaking of fun....here is my Mica....having fun!<br />

<br />
I decided Beatrix needed a tattoo, cause I was bored and couldn't find any freaken fake butterflies to finish my stupid belljar. Seriously, why is it so hard to find a nice looking fake butterfly? How many craft stores do I have to visit?<br />
<br />
So, since I can't finish the belljar (so much for a quick project) Beatrix gets some ink.<br />
<br />
I suck at drawing, so I found an image online of something simple to copy the shape of the fish, and the fishes head. Also to help with shading.<br />
<br />
Here is the outline:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Then I added some colours with pastels and watercolor pencils. I had a hard time with the water thats around the fish....I felt it needed something, but really had no inspiration for waves or anything. So it is what it is.<br />
<br />
<br />

I popped in a nest I found at a craft store, and stuffed more moss whereveer the glue between the nest and branches was a little too obvious. Going to leave this dry overnight while I wait for more ideas....and take a trip to a crafty store. I know what I'd like but I probably won't find it...I'm really good at convincing myself I've seen stuff that actually doesn't exsist and then I waste my time shopping for it.</div>

easter-ish, I don't decorate for easter, so....whomp whomp! <br />
<br />
But happily, my "I can do that but better" instinct kicked in, and I bought some (bigger and nicer) bell jars to make my own.<br />
<br />
SO- here is how I am going about making my own bell jar miniature scene.<br />
<br />

Here's the bell jar, it was 6$ at Home Sense....its a pretty big one, you can see my realpuki in there, she is not impressed.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I had some 1/2" foam board I wanted to use as a base, so I wet the rim of the bell jar and marked the foam so I could get the size of the base. Then I traced around with my exacto, and then went around a second time, making sure to pierce through the cardboard on the opposite side. Try to keep the blade straight, you don't want too much of a bevel on the foam.</div>

It's not a perfect fit, but its an ok fit and the glue will plug up the open spaces.</div>

I had some branches from a Thornapple tree that I wanted to use. It took a lot of cutting, snipping and testing before my tree fit in perfectly.</div>

Pop it into the base! Easy peasy....my branch is off center cause one of the branches sticks out, and I'm gonna use a nest in there somewhere, which should end up smack in the middle of the bell jar.</div>

Meet your new best friend, modeling paste. I love this stuff. This is what will make the 'dirt' on the base.</div>

I mixed the modeling past with some sand, and brown paint, all which I found at the dollar store.Those little rocks will be sprinkled around the base.</div>

Use a spoon, or a small something (lucky my dollhouse was nearby, so I could borrow a shovel) and sprinkle on some rocks...tap them down gently with your finger, but try not to move them around too much. You want the paint/paste to act as a glue, but not to colour the stones.</div>

Ok, that is drying now....I'll have to continue this next time....my favorite part is coming up: MOSS.<br />

Only I noticed, her eyebrows are waaaaaay to high. I think this is ok, because it seems her bangs will hide my mistake.
Next time I wipe her face (inevitable), I'll have to remember to correct that!
