Club, stairs and Mouse house books

Today we had another meeting of our dollshouseclub.

This time we went to Ineke

and she had prepared the workshop we did today!

We made printer's drawers...

The empty one has to be painted and filled.

But as you can see...

Ineke gave us enough to fill 10 more

The hearts, bottle and lady bug were gifts too!

Ineke was having a sale,

so I've bought some miniatures too... 

The plastic tootbrush container was a gift too.

It will make a nice display case!

When I was home again

I stained the stair gates

and when they were dry,

I glued them in the house!

 

And I received my ordered books.

A 1:12 and a 1:24 scale version of the Mousehouse book!

Carving Gargouilles

I've bought this book....

Yes...a book about woodcarving!!!

I'm not sure if I'm going to try woodcarving,

but I would love to make some gargouilles or grotesques for my tower

and I already knew this book from another blog.

I thought a woodcarving book with a step-by-step explanation would have very detailed photos and it does!!!

So I'm going to use those photos to try and make gargouilles with polymer clay

And who knows....maybe someday I will try woodcarving too

It is a very nice book....

much background information about gargouilles

and the photos are very detailed!!

I've ordered another one by the same woodcarver...

Carving Fantasy & Legend Figures in Wood:

Patterns & Instructions for Dragons, Wizards & Other Creatures of Myth.

I could use some help with the dragon I want to make too
