kiramaru7Happy Passover and Easter! <3 <3 <3
I'm late on one and early on the other, but I'm leaving to go away on Monday and I have a million and one things left to do. *cries* And I really didn't want to forget to post things (again XD). I'll be gone for the next 2 weeks. I'll be touring Cape Town and going on safari in Madikwe! I'm sooo EXCITED!! It'll be fall there, but it's having a rebirth of summer, which is great!
When I get back, I have my micro-mini dollhouse to set up and paint. It's 2.5 x 2 inches, not including the roof, and it's got 6 rooms. I got furniture for it from ETSY and "wallpaper & flooring" from my sister. Thanks to some free gifts from the sellers, I got another bed so I can have 2 bedrooms, and when I ordered a dressers kit and a hutch for my kitchen, I got a lamp and 2 picture frames! And I got a resin bat skull which is really cool! I'm really glad they came today as my package got accidentally shipped to Arizona. o.O The seller was AWESOME and so was the person who sent back my stuff and everything came today! YAY! I LOVE dollhouses and I now have 3! The first one fits 1:24 scale furniture and was a kid's project house from Michael's. I bought 2 of them, painted them with different paint, used the furniture they came with (minus a couple of pieces). I then glued them together to make one house and furnished them with stuff I got from Michael's and amazon. It has 4 rooms: A living room, a bedroom on top, a kitchen, and a bathroom on top of that. For flooring, I used some scrapbook paper, my sister had, and bought a piece that looked like a wood floor. I cut the size I needed and my sister laminated it for me. For a bedroom rug, I got a white piece of felt that looks like Berber carpeting.
My other dollhouse is 1:48 scale and I got furniture for it from amazon as well as a dollhouse furniture site. I had originally bought this furniture, thinking it would fit in my Michael's house. The scale was way off. XD So I got the house from a kit I found online. I forget if it was ETSY or eBay. XD It's painted the same as my other house. I also added a piece of wood on the 2nd floor to make a bathroom for it, since the house was only 2 floors/rooms. So the downstairs is "open concept." The furniture is antique looking, so it got all wooden flooring.
My newest house is 1:144 scale and as I said before it's a tiny 2.5 w x 2 h x 1 d. I need to get some museum wax to "glue" down the furniture so I don't lose any of it. It'll also help with my 1:48 scale furniture staying put too. I have a tiny little Barbie to live in that house. My 1:24 scale house has an owl and a cat living in it. My smallest house has no one living there. XD
One day, I hope to either get this 1:24 scale house at Michael's, or a 1:12 scale dollhouse! 1:12 scale is the most common and it's the easiest to find furniture and stuff for. 1:12 is 1 inch equals 1 foot. 1:24 scale is half that and 1:48 is one quarter that. Barbie scale is 1:6 which is 1 inch equals 6 inches. It's also called play scale. 1:144 is microscale and a dollhouse of this size is a dollhouse for your dollhouse that's 1:12 scale! The furniture is hard to find, unless you search ETSY and it's very expensive. I got lucky in that the house was $10, the bathroom was $10 and the rest of the furniture was $18 not including shipping and I also bought 2 tiny kitchen chairs which were $3 each. It's an expensive hobby, but a fun one! :D
And one day, I'll get back into fish keeping, another expensive hobby to set up, but once you get going, it pretty much is just the cost of fish food. ;D
