Up and Down

Here is the bare bones of a Diorama I am making, 2nd. in the 1950's Drawer.

Everything except the drawer is fabricated by me, lights, beds, walls Memphis style sofa and furniture. This Diorama has a working title of Up and Down.

It represents the life of two different social strata in the same apartment block

The standard lamp didn't show well in this photo it is muti coloured

The car on the left is part of a little collection growing. I intend to get some Schuco cars for display as a miniature in a miniature (Thanks Call of the Small)

I just scanned some of the followers blogs, boy talk about creativity, each time I look the output has tripled.

We are still overcoming flooding and the repairs to our home. Our output is crawling along.

Still designing

As I work as well as make, the "Duesbury" is becoming very involved for such a 'simple' design.
I am trying to design it to be flat packed so it can be sent anywhere. But as I am a neurotic, perfectionist miniature house designer/ maker. So ever time I get on the computer to tweek the plan I see something needs attention. If bought flat pack, the floors need to slide in in place and the walls placed where needed for support as in a real house. Getting the dimensions is important. Those of you who use drafting software know that near enough is not good enough. Lines that meet in normal view are nowhere near when zoomed.
Anyway the upshot is that the Duesbury is still coming and at the same time I am working on a house with a working name of Spooky House, So more of that soon.

Flooding, resting and curling

Thank you to you creative people for the following of this blog site.

Our little site has slowed due to the flooding in southern NSW Australia and now we are still waiting for the carpet people to upheave the house again and of course, as some of you will recognise, a lot of our miniature supplies is in some box or somewhere else.

Maybe this is just take in breath, a rest, and when the dust has settled, clarity will emerge.

I enjoy in the meantime looking at the sites in 'following' and in my links.
Anyway here is a picture of "Forever Emily and Lisbel" sitting in my Curly Chair

The design is copyright and has 4 floors and for the Modern Miniature House, has a lift, no stairs. The Duesbury will be available ready to assemble or fully assembled. All windows and doors are provided. For the fully assembled, ready for your diorama.
