Do you have any interest in miniatures? Miniature scenes, trains, etc.?

If you are interested, there is a TV show currently available on CBC Gem about miniature buildings. I would never be able to reach that level of detail, but I still love to watch them work!

When the nice weather will be back, I will get to work some more on the gnome house, and keep you updated.

Let's chat!

My husband has a room for his trains? Very soon he will have all the time he wants for them ?

 

I was wondering how you made those books in front of the lantern ??

It is very simple:

• cut strips of paper the height of the book
• cut little squares
• pile them up as thick as needed and glue one side (which will be the spine of the book)
• print and cut the covers on photo paper
• glue the papers inside the book
• trim the excess paper

If I do more miniature projects, I might do more books. They are easy to make. You can use plain cardstock for the covers, or use printouts of actual books if you can find the images. Using PSP, it is very easy to do and resize to scale (that is 1:12 scale by the way).
