littleweedsLast night I put some new detail items into my small dollhouse. This one represents our real life and doesn't actually have everything a real house would.
Dyane's Room
This room represents myself and my hobbies. Sewing, costuming, dollhouses, knitting, spinning, violin playing, houseplants, a craft magazine, and my preference for Coke products. The new details in this room are the scissors and iron on sitting on the sewing machine.
This is a detail view of the back corner behind the spinning wheel. The knitting needles are straight pins with actually cast on stitches and the skeins of yarn I made with embroidery floss. I've had the metronome for years and you have a better view of the violin.
Marc's Room
This room, as the name implies, is for Marc. Notice the guns, the knife, coffee and cup, the case of Mountain Dew, the bottle of booze, and the Lord of the Rings trilogy in the chair.
In this detail view you get a better look at the table and the new bottle of Jim Beam along with a glass for it. The miniature store didn't have Jack Daniels.
The Living Room
Much like our real living room, there is a pile of toys for the Duckie and books all over. You can't really see it well but my hand blown miniature glass collection is on the corner shelf unit; a punch bowl with cups and a ladle, two wine glasses with clear stems and blue cups, a blue glass pitcher, and an amber two handles vase. On the bottom shelf is one of our ubiquitous boxes of tissues.
In this next picture you have a better view of the Duckie's pile of toys. The book, the bunny pull toy, and the hammering bench are all new yesterday. The white porcelain bowl is exactly like the potty in the Duckie's favorite potty-training book.
Eat-in Kitchen
Having only four rooms in the dollhouse necessitates some compromises; no bedrooms and an eat in kitchen. Eating is very important to this family. You don't get between Marc and his food or the Duckie and her food. New to this room is the container of milk on the table and the bowl of eggs on the table (can't see the eggs but they are there). Somebody desperately needs to do dishes because the sink in front of the window is totally full.
Every house needs a place for random stuff and this house only has space behind the spiral stair case. That's a lantern, a watering can, potting soil, and a large vase in storage. The books are waiting to go upstairs to be either put away or read.
Exterior
And finally, the front exterior of the house.
I thought this exterior detail shot was interesting.
Special thanks go to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mister_robinson because in watching him I've learned enough about photography to get decent shots of my miniatures (attention to lighting and having a tripod helped a lot).
