Antique Book Collection Room Book Nook

 Antique Book Collection Room Book Nook

When I saw this booknook, I fell in love immediately. I told myself I my get it. The reason that make me get this craft for myself is this look like a cool library, with stairs in it, and the is a movable trolley on the wall which make it even more interesting. It will be more pretty if the color are less dull. At the moment this is all brown tone. 

By far this is the most difficult miniature / booknook I ever made. I make so many mistakes that make me have to undo, take out and put it back again. The instruction in the booklet are not clear enough due to the color printing too dull make me miss out 2-3 pieces that after I put in everything only I realize I have extra 2 pieces. I have no choice but to take down and put it back again.

Beside that putting the light for the table lamp is not easy to fix too. Other than that is the wall trolley that is too fragile make me broke 2 piece of them and they cant stuck in the wall. In the end I use Satay stick to replace it. Luckily the problem can be still fix and the wall trolley still able to spin around. 

Check out the details, the carving and the light make you feel you are there. 

There are more than 110 books I need to glue them together and place them accordingly. 

Putting the LED light is not that easy too. There are 5 LED light in it. The lighting in the booknook make it look so impressive even with the dull color theme.

Gubei Bakery - 3D DIY Miniature Book Nook

 Gubei Bakery - 3D DIY Miniature Book Nook

I always love to explore bakery shop. It is so intesting and sweet to look at all the cakes in the shop make you want to taste all of them. 

Therefore, I make this bakery for my friend cum colleague. We only meet up once a year, during our company dinner because we both work from home.

This year we decided to have own gift exchange during the dinner and I made her this. Hope she will like it.

This bakery quite colorful. The beauty of this miniature is, beside the door, the window can be open, there is an oven inside can be open too. Check out the video to see the detail. 

Beside the oven door can be open, you can take the 4 baguette on the wall basket.

Outside of the Bakery, there is a signage and a barret serving trolley which is movable / pushable around to play with as you can see in the video.

Miniature Theatre Box : In A Happy Corner

Miniature Theatre Box : In a Happy Corner 

I think 3-4 years ago I made this Miniature theatre Box. This is the smallest miniature I ever made. This will be last. I will not make this scale miniature anymore. It is too small and too torturing for my eye.

It look so adorable inside the metal case. Too bad that once I finish make there is some issue with the lights and the light cannot be turn on.

 

Good thing is, you can close it and store it away easily. Keep away from dust

This is how it look like if the light is working.

Here is the detail and how it look like when close up.

Twilight Library – DIY Book Nook with LED Touch Lamp

 Twilight Library – DIY Book Nook with LED Touch Lamp.

I got this from TEMU. Not sure what brand is this but it look interesting and I got good discout for it, so why not give this a try.

The color is nice but the joint is not. Most of it are pretty loose and I have to glue them manually to make sure they are secure. They dont provide glue. The LED connection is not too clear but still do-able.

This is a gift for my friend for her birthda. Hope she like it.

Check out the detail. The good thing is, keep away from dust and no door can be open.
The tough part is making the chandelier.

Robotime Rowood - The Starry Night Wall Art 3D Wooden Puzzle

Trying something different.  Different type of Miniature, the 3D wall Art puzzle. 
They have 3 different design. The Starry Night, the Golden Sunflower and the Glittering Water Lily

I choose Starry Night because you can really play with it. You can twist the big tree and the big moon on the top left.  Where the Sunflower look too common but indeed is nice. The Glittering Water Lily are pretty uniq too which I might consider to get it next time.....  

This is a special gift for my special buddy whom we will meet every year during our birthday month.

Rolife DIY Miniature House - Century Post Office

My son's birthday gift from his friend and he give it to me to do it.
This is Rolife DIY miniature Post Office. 

Very easy to do it and good quality but quite costly because of the brand.

 

Corners of Happiness - Taste Of Life (kitchen)

 The last miniature I did was 2.5years ago, which is the Alice.
My friend is moving to new house, so I thought why not making something interesting for her, then this miniature come to my mind. 

Last time the miniature use white glue which took very long to dry but after dry, it is quite invisible.
Nowadays they use Silicone glue, which is like UHU glue. It is dry faster, much easier to manage the craft but stain of glue is very visible.

I forgot to take the picture without seal off the Anti-Dust cover.
Here are some picture with and without light.

This time, I took video too. 

This miniature took me around 2 weeks to complete. I did it bit by bit after work.

I almost give up. It is not easy to do this miniature when you have a big child homework to follow up.

And my bad eyesight also make it hard for me to see the small little detail even wearing spectacle.
I think maybe I should invest in getting a big magnifying tool for this if I ever want to make another miniature.

Alice Forest Afternoon Tea - NEW Display box

My Alice Forest Afternoon Tea that was suppose to display it in the Glassball (refer to my previous post here http://shirleypearly.blogspot.com/2020/02/alice-in-afternoon-tea.html ) cannot last more than a day.

My son too excited to look at it and break the glass.

So now after 1 month finally of searching the right size display box, I manage to find the perfect one.
I was so happy when I received the "Display Box Z-006 for Gundam/bricks toy, the size is just the one I am looking for (10cm x 10cm x 12cm Height)

When I tried put the miniature into it, I realize I need more pebbles. Therefore I need to get some small pebbles for it.

After that it took me very long time to start slowly glue all the pebbles and the final result is very impressive.

This is how the final of my Alice Forest Afternoon Tea look like in the new display box.

Coincident I have some Alice in the Wonderland mini figurine such as the Chesire Cat, Mad Hatter and Mad Hare. They all are same size with Alice in the miniature.

Luckily 15 years go when we go to Taiwan, we bought a lot of Alice figurines there in the night market. These figurine are actually is a keychains.

Here is Alice and his friends, Mad Hatter, Mad Hare, and Chesire Cat in the new display box. 

This is how the miniature set suppose to look like originally in the glass ball.

I think they look better in the display box :)

Alice in the Afternoon Tea

DIY Miniature Alice Forest Afternoon Tea - in Glassball

I took me quite a while to complete this miniature craft. Lots of challenges along the way.

First of all this miniature is slightly smaller or my eye sight has gone bad after 10 years of not making any DIY miniature craft. I think I need to bring back my glass (presbypia) or I need magnifying glass for this.

I was so excited when I started this DIY set when almost complete, get so upset to find out that the light and music is spoil. So I decided to go without it.

Then when come to making the paper rose, I fail to do it because is just toooo small. Therefore I change the design and then I almost give up when making the birdcage.

Once everything is done, carefully i put everything inside the glassball.
I dont feel safe without glue them therefore I decided to glue everything ( plant, stone, alice and the table set) and I press too hard the mouth of the glassball show mild crack...

I thought should be fine and quickly hang it on the steel rack and luckily I took a few photos

Glassball hanging using the steelrack

I enjoy see the details....

The close up...

Who know the next day, my son was so excited that I have completed this set and I ask him to check it out. He bring the steelrack closer to see the detail and I forgot that once the glassball hook on the steelrack it is quite wobbling and the glassball drop and break......

huhuhu.........

Luckily I took some photos already...

For the time being I put them here in the food container until I manage to find a clear dislay box to fit them in.....
