Dollhouse Miniature Accessories - Glass Bottle

My love for the blue mason jars in real life gave me this inspiration to transform these dollhouse miniature accessories - 1/12 scale glass bottle. That beautiful shade of turquoise is irresistible. It's a colour that makes me happy, besides pink :) With the lack of readily made dollhouse miniature accessories in that delicate soft shade of turquoise drove me to make some my own.

White and turquoise is all I need.

Simple things like this makes my day.

It's quite strange, but sometimes miniature making lead me to deeper understanding to life and things. One of the things that I learnt from this experiment was, there was definitely more than one way to do this. I like to use whatever resources that I have around me.

Some people have used the food colouring method to colour their glasswares. Some people use the thinner, glass paints and baking method to achieve theirs. With no food colorings and oven in my home (I don't bake), I had to find my own way. It is definitely possible, and here's my results. I love it when I find more than one way to making things.

Miniature Christmas Scene - Work in Progress

There are strawberries waiting to be painted, cakes to be put together, rings to complete, and all going to UAE ...

And this half painted display is just work in progress, in between while I'm waiting for things to dry. I wanted to take a photo to see. And putting things near to the sunlight gives me a better perspective when it comes to colour.

Well, I don't know if this would be successful but let's see...

After a few days of raining here, which is really cool and nice, today's bright and sunny!

Dollhouse Miniature Food - Creme Brulee in 1/12 Dollhouse Miniature Scale

It's been a little while since I made some dollhouse miniature food, specifically desserts. I've been very wrapped up in making flowers, bouquet, and it's almost like a new quest that I have right now - to make exquisite flower arrangements in dollhouse miniature scale. Yes, that's my new quest. :) That explains the books, images I've scout around for new inspiration and ideas to make realistic dollhouse miniatures flower arrangements. I've some ideas but as always execution does take some time, but hopefully as time permits, I'll be able to show what I've come up with.

Here's a cute creme brulee dessert I made most recently! In reality, I probably won't order this dessert as after a few spoonful of it, I'm ready to stop LOL. And I personally prefer my desserts cold....Although wiki says it's normally served cold, a warm version was actually served when I first tasted this dessert at a french restaurant many years ago. So maybe I would like it much more if I had the cold version :)

My first real fascination with this dessert started from watching my favourite french film "Amelie". Hearing the satisfying crack of the outer crust of caramelized top was simply fascinating....and seeing how the spoon revealed the soft custard beneath the crusty top....Ooh. Ok I need to re-watch this movie again!

I'm drawn to its bright yellow colour. It's actually quite an eye catching dessert. :) And it reminds me of chinese egg tart really...

I hope you enjoyed my version of the dollhouse miniature creme brulee :)
