Seems like we are slowly getting back to normal. Along with our own show on May 1st, I am happy to announce that the M.E.T. show will also be back in October.
Some of you may notice that I changed the legs on the Bargello chair. I did this to make the chair a more historically accurate wingback and am very happy with the legs now. The previous ones were a bit chunky for this style of chair and detracted from its elegance.
I will post another update photo of Santa's Cottage near next Christmas to show the next stage of my progress but for now, I have completed all that I will be this year. Do any of you have photos of Christmas miniatures that you are working on or have done in the past? Contact me at [email protected] and send me some photos and a description. I would love to add your photos to the blog. Have a Very Merry Christmas! This summer I worked on a few 1/12th scale projects. The first is a wingback chair that I re-covered in order to use it in a Santa's Cottage that I am building. I designed the fabric and inset image myself and stitched it in the Bargello style on 48 count silk gauze. I began stitching the chair at the beginning of July this year and just finished it on November 5th of this year. The chair was one I had in my stash and wanted to re-cover. I began the chair as part of a group challenge started by an online petit point group I belong to. We were to design a fabric and re-cover any chair we wished then post the photos once finished. It was great fun and I may someday, stitch another for Santa's Cottage using the same colors but a different Bargello pattern so that I don't get bored stitching the same thing over again.
The second thing I worked on were some hand-made room screens in 1/12th scale. I created 8 different designs and am selling them in their un-finished state here. The example above is one that I made for my daughter Heather. Eventually, it will go into an Oriental room box that I wish to make for her. She chose the picture she wanted in the screen and I printed it onto cotton fabric before adding it to the screen. Our club is looking to try and have in-person meetings starting in January if all goes well. I look forward to seeing everyone then if we are able to resume the meetings. In the meantime, what have you all been working on? I would love to post a blog entry about your projects. Please email me at the club's email address ([email protected] ) and let me know. This post was seen in an online miniature group I belong to:
