Soft Violet Dollhouse Miniature Roses

Soft violet is a colour I've not made many things with. But just the other day, I was in the mood to make some dollhouse miniature roses with this colour, so here I am.

I'm not typically a purple fan, but there is something very romantic with this colour. I'm liking it a lot!

I was so focused and made quite a few of these. I'm having a couple of them going on sale as single stalk roses over at my Etsy shop here, and then I have some which I made them into a lovely bouquet! I'm so loving the new look, and am hoping to take some photos of them soon!

Pink Miniature Vespa

Hello everyone! This week, I finished a large project. It was a dream of mine to do a miniature vespa makeover for a long time and boy am I glad I fulfilled this dream. It has been truly fun! I say that because I love hand painting a lot! This piece has a lot of hand painting to do and I had the chance to try out new stuff in the process, which makes it truly enjoyable.

I don't think any of you would be surprised by my choice of colour here - pink! What can I say? It's just my colour to try out for this first makeover.

I love the glossy look. Almost like brand new.

Although my miniature vespa isn't a 1:12 scale, it didn't stop me from giving this a makeover. Truth of the matter is, there are some 1:12 scale miniature scooters out there, but there are almost none that are of a old looking model. Almost all of them were too modern looking and didn't fit into my vision. Think Roman Holiday. So I gave up and looked at other scales.

The flowers presented here were made a little while ago, and back then I had no room to fit them into any piece - they were looking for a suitable home. It has finally found its home!

My mom saw this and she loves it too. I wonder if it was the colour that she fell in love with, or was it the overall cuteness of this miniature piece.

I imagine a flower shop owner going around delivering flowers to customers on this miniature bike. That was my vision when I made this.

Also I had to do a little scale comparison when I put this next to another 1:12 scale miniature pot of flowers I finished earlier. It is not too bad. Some of the 1:12 scale miniatures would fit and compliment well with this piece.

I also had to scale down my crate just a little, so that it doesn't look way too big on the bike.

I cannot stop looking at this pink scooter.

I think what this has done is opened up another new hobby of some sort for me. Does hand painting models count?

Have a great weekend everyone!

Some new toys to experiment!

So, over the past week, I finished another miniature impromptu project which is a present for a friend. As much as I wanted to share lots of photo of this piece right now, I have to wait till my friend receives it. I don't want to ruin this surprise for her!! But of course, for those of you who have been following my facebook fan page here, you would have seen a sneak peak photo of it :)

I'll post more photos of that piece once I have it delivered to my friend.

The impromptu project lead me to discover new things in the miniature world, and I'm excited to experiment more new stuff for my other pieces!

And oh, I bought some more new paints.

You know how much I just love colours....I can' wait to try them out!
