Rudbeckia 1:12

Made Rudbeckia (yellow flowers) today. Looks nice in my 1:12 garden :-)

Now I'm working on making the job description ...

Just mist him/her/it...

I was busy making a miniature hanging plant... I hear rumbling downstairs. I thought "What's that?" When I went downstairs... nothing to see. As I usually do I look at the PC which is always on (except at night) and surprise... I see the inventor looking at my webpage. Quick getting my cellphone... tried to take a picture from him / her / it. Unfortunately, he / she / it was too fast. In his rush inventor has lost something ... so I am almost 100% sure it was the inventor.

Here are the pics ...

Crabcracker and Winewopper

Well, shoot me ... the inventer turns crazy. But he has applied for a patent for these two inventions. Whether they actually work, I wonder. But as can be seen that crab cruncher does. And wop wine??? Would that be nice?

A sunbeamtransformer

That he has invented. My miniature inventor. His house is not finished (or is it her house??), But he doesn't care. The inventioning must go on. A sunbeamtransformer. What exactly that thing does is not clear to me, but he captures sunlight and does something with it, that I understand. He can also move the sunbeam. I would like to study the drawings. But where he has left those drawings? Hard to fathom that man. Or ... that woman... I don't know. Hard to observe that human being. He/she is busy at night and quite shy ...

 

 

Miniature books en the Inventor

Tinkering, messing with materials, inventing is relaxation for me. Looking for materials, thinking, searching for inspiration ... great fun.

A nice job was making miniature books, old newspapers and other documents. Searching on the Internet, putting various kinds of paper through the printer and experimenting with it. I want the use books for different projects. For my "forgotten Christmas" and a new idea. Well, the idea is not new, but I'm now starting with the execution of that idea.

I got from someone an old warehouse, made ​​of an old orange crate. Very coarse and too small for 1:12. I would love to make an inventors workshop. With all kinds of junk, books, paint, silly inventions and an interior that is not maintained. I think that warehouse actually quite suitable for that. It looks very old and when I get out of a floor it could be suitable.  I have now scraped all loose parts from the walls, and the most painted with gesso.

To be continued...

Old washer

Today I finished making an old washer. A DIY-kit from Silvia (Lutjeboudel). It was a pleasure making this machine. I put it behind the Christmas-stall. The laundry in it is forgotten, dirty again and eaten by moths and other vermin. The water has dried up and run away from the leaking washer. After a while there will be nothing anymore... just a pile of rusty iron.

Hello

My name is Hanny Tromp, from the Netherlands. I have a Dutch weblog for years now, but did not have a English weblog yet. Why? Because my English is not very good and I find it hard to write in English. But I'm going to try. I have many hobbies, miniatures, art journaling, geocaching, making short films, acting, and much more. On my Dutch blog is a lot about these hobbies.  
Here are some things that I made.
