Every once in a while I take a little vacation back to France by going through folders of photos I took 3 years summers ago. The are of real value to me in helping to create a realistic dollhouse. It is not so much that I exactly copy a specific architectural detail. The value is that I know exactly what the textures and colors of the materials I am using should like when I finish the parts for my project.

Looking at this photo I took in the Normandy region of France of hinges and shutters I think I did get my miniature versions to look just right.
Karin,
ReplyDeleteI love that lantern!!! It wouldn't be at all hard to make in miniature. I have worked out the process for fabricating it. It would be easy for you to do with the tools you have in your shop or one like it.
For the fleur de lis you could carve it in wax but I am sure you could also find one in the right scale that had been stamped.
I will send you some photos of one I started. or maybe post them on my blog. It isn't finished.
I love the inspiration that France has offered me in the making of the petite maison and it is lovely to see some of your photos....I adore the lamp!
