Firstly thank you to those who commented on my previous post, I've been so busy enjoying myself lately, it's been difficult to find the time to answer everyone.
When I placed my last order from Fairy Meadow Miniatures, I also bought a pre-loved, slightly dishevelled pink velvet settee, chair and footstool which was close to, but not quite, 1:6 scale.
I took this photo of my two little hybrid Monst dolls, to give you an idea of the size.
BTW they finally have clothes to wear and have had their hair re-styled slightly, at least it looks tidy now.
I wanted to cover the set in the green Mid Century fabric I purchased from Spoonflower, but unfortunately the print was too large. I tackled the chair first and used fabric and trimmings from my stash. Next I added some painted beads to make new feet, which provided additional height. Then to give it a little more "personality" I made some cushions and knitted a throw with tassels.
It wasn't the easiest makeover I have done, pulling the chair apart was a challenging to say the least, but aside from the feet looking a bit chunky on the footstool, I'm reasonably happy with the new look.
What do you think? Does it look okay to you?
Now to deal with the settee, wish me luck. :)
I'm really glad you have been enjoying yourself with these projects. The results have been amazing. It makes me want to do some of my unfinished projects but I am still not 100%. Maybe I can try to do something very little ... I really love how your chair turned out and I think it fits the time period you are going for. It looks very comfortable. Perfect for a cold morning like today.
ReplyDeleteI have lots of ideas for new dioramas, but I want to complete those I have already begun first. I'm sure you will be able to manage some. Thank you Alasse, hopefully little T will behave long enough for me to finish the settee.

It looks so nice now, Xanadu! I want to sit down and pull up the footstool and pull the blanket over me. :) I'm like Alasse; I have several of my own projects that I need to get working on again.
ReplyDeleteThank you Barb, if that's the case I must be doing something right. :) It's nice to have projects, but I find UFO's seem to be problem for me at the moment, I really need to tie up some loose ends so I can think straight. I look forward to seeing what you are working on.

I loved the cute dresses of the dolls and the beautiful chair. Everything looks so cozy and inviting.
ReplyDeleteI actually made these dresses for a different doll, but they do look kinda cute on these little ones don't they?. :)
