http://orrlakemusings.blogspot.com/2012/12/the-castle-gatehouse.html
Mini ramblings and musings. Or things to make you go hmmmm. Wednesday, December 12, 2012. As some of you may know, I was in England this past summer to attend a family wedding held in the town of Arundel. So while there, we explored the castle, and knowing that I had another commission in the works, I took lots of photos. This photo, from among the hundreds of photos I came home with, showing the castle gatehouse, became my inspiration. I was size constrained since my gatehouse was being shipped to Calif...

Mini ramblings and musings. Or things to make you go hmmmm. Sunday, November 4, 2012. So here's an interesting comparison. take a look at these two photos. Each one is as lovely as the other. Then decide which one is photoshopped and which is an actual miniature:. I love eye candy and I save as much of it as I can, as inspiration for those "someday" creations.. November 6, 2012 at 6:06 AM. Well, you fooled me :). November 9, 2012 at 12:18 PM. Always love hearing from you. Promote Your Page Too.

http://orrlakemusings.blogspot.com/2012/09/harvesthome-diy.html
Mini ramblings and musings. Or things to make you go hmmmm. Monday, September 3, 2012. These photos are in no particular order! To make the "individual windows" that constitute the greenhouse, I used matchsticks and toothpicks (for the narrower bits). In all, for this build, I went through 2 boxes of long matches plus any number of used matches left over from lighting our barbecue. The painted mirror was bought. The faded wallpaper came from the scrapbooking aisle. The stove, again a Chrysnbon, was spray...

The Pingouin bar .the entire scene is only 9"x12"x19" a look at the inside. Just as well made as the outside. And attention to detail. Links to this post.

mini ramblings and musings: June 2012
http://orrlakemusings.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Mini ramblings and musings. Or things to make you go hmmmm. Wednesday, June 20, 2012. When I got there, the door was closed and although there was a sign that said to knock, no one ever answered. What a disappointment! However it in no way overshadowed the success of the rest of my trip and my visit with my son. I'm a dud when it comes to the past history of dollhouse making so it was extremely interesting to see many of the houses. Even the museum building had a fascinating past in that escaped US s...

Mini ramblings and musings. Or things to make you go hmmmm. Tuesday, February 7, 2012. Mold Making - Part 1. There are lots of ways to recreate an item and while it seems scary to try making your own mold, there aren’t that many steps; nor do you always have to buy the outrageously expensive commercial products that are on the market. Let’s start with a one sided mold. You could also make a simple mold using an electrical wire connector called a marette and some scrap clay that you may have laying around.
