Since my last post I've been through a period of not working on miniatures, joining a local miniature club, refining my project list, selling some of my extra mini furniture/accessories, and starting a new collection (Lego). Plus I've attended 3 miniature shows - in Seattle last year and this year, as well as the 2015 West Coast show close to home. I've been meaning to gather all my show purchases and post a picture but that hasn't happened yet. It was also at the 2014 Seattle show that my sister began to get into dollhouse miniatures, so it's been great to have someone to share the hobby with.
I have some photos on my phone of a few of the exhibits but I might as well link to the proper blogs or websites with better images: the MCBC project shown on miniatures.about.com, Green Dolphin Street by Elizabeth of Studio E, and the French country house by minworks.
So what am I currently working on? The almost finished Hogwarts roombox (I know, I know); the 1:48 scale Petit Palais from Petite Properties, and my mask shop roombox. A Willowcrest purchased off ebay is in the planning stages, too. I was inspired by the art nouveau version on the blog Petit cabinet de curiosites. If anyone knows where to source the jewelry findings they used over the windows please let me know. I swear I've seen them on Etsy ages ago but cannot find them now.
