I’m at a stage of the exterior of the bakery room box where most of the construction elements are done. I’ll be adding little details, such as flowers, an awning, signage, etc., but the bulk of the building is complete, so I want to transition to the inside, aka, bring on the miniature sweets! I’ve been relying […]
The miniature bakery is coming right along, and I’ve finished all of the brick work for the front and sides of the building–hallelujah! And for now, I’m simply not going to think about the fact that I have to do an entire sheet of bricks for the rear wall. 😉 I painted two tiny doors, […]
The front wall of the bakery is coming right along thanks to a rather mind-numbing stretch of brickwork last Friday. It took a bit of hunting around at local stores to find the appropriate foam for the bricks, and then there was a bit of trial and error with the brick-making process, all of which […]
While the miniature bakery isn’t exactly ready for its grand opening quite yet, the addition of the front wall is making the room feel much more complete, which is pretty exciting. I’m dying to add the two bay windows in the front, but I’ve decided to finish the exterior of the front and rear wall with […]
Last Friday, I was on a miniatures mission at the hardware store. I needed to get wood for the front wall of the miniature bakery, but I wasn’t sure if they would be able to cut the wood into the tiny pieces I was hoping for. Turns out, they couldn’t, so I ended up figuring […]
My miniatures shipment just arrived, and I’ve been arranging some of the new pieces to see how they fit into the room layout. The biggest addition is the pair of bay windows that I’ll be adding to the (as yet unbuilt) front wall. I’ll probably wait to paint them until I get my urban diorama […]
I’ve been working on the furniture in the miniature bakery this week, and yesterday I finished building a counter unit with a “stainless steel” top (it’s actually made from aluminum). This counter will be in the rear of the bakery in the preparation area, and I’m not loving the idea of gluing shelves to the […]
In between working on the miniature bakery and custom orders, I’ve been sculpting foods that are part of a collaboration I’m doing with Susan of Lush Little Landscapes. She’ll be displaying my food pieces in her lovely scenes, and I’m really excited to see this first batch of BBQ foods in its new habitat. Ready […]
I couldn’t resist working on the miniature bakery room over the weekend, and I got quite a bit of the construction finished: wood panelling added to the bottom half of the rear wall wallpaper “hung” (I had some issues there, which I’ll help you avoid in the book!) molding cut, painted and glued to the […]
Now that the Italian book has been completed, it’s time for a new miniatures project, and I’ve decided to choose something based on how much fun I anticipate having throughout the process. 😉 I need at least one project before the busy holiday season is upon me to really get the creative juices flowing, and this miniature bakery […]
