Long Time No Update....

-
OK, so it's been a while.... but you never even noticed I was missing? He He
Well it's been mega busy the last couple of weeks and mostly NOT in the doll room. Last weekend was The Queen's Diamond Jubilee (I'm English) so we had a four day weekend. I stopped with the normal building and I thought I would build a little diorama to celebrate this special time....





















 































 OK, so I might have got just a little carried away?
Next week it's back to building.... and maybe some pictures as well?

    Hi Suwi-- that is so amazing to see! I was just looking in here at your blog last night!lol. I adored watching the Jubilee, it was hard to find it in the USA - I was very moved by the Queen's concert and the light shows and when everyone sang 'God Save the Queen', the concert luckily, was aired in the US. Here in Virginia, the county where I live is called King William County, named after William lll, who the college William & Mary is named after as well in Williamsburg- I live about 40 minutes away from there. This diorama must have taken you a while to set up! Really involved, right down to the burgers and hot dogs on the grill!

    Hello from Spain: congratulations create this diorama devoted to the Queen of England. I like the paper with the image of the British flag. I love the baby car. The tablecloth and the dishes are ideal. A great job. Congratulations. You have in your collection the newborn. I love it. Looks like a real baby. Keep in touch.

I have a TON of doll clothing and after years of rummaging through bags and never finding what I'm looking for or even remembering what I have so I thought it was time I made some quick, simple and cheap storage.  The cheapest is to use a doll box and just fit a bar for hanging but I wanted something just a little more so this is what I came up with.... You will need Foamcore board I used 5mm thick board 60cm x 84cm Foam 2 Foam glue You can use any glue but this works best I think Ruler Tape measure Pencil Something sharp to cut with (craft knife Cutting board I have a big board but a smaller one would work Metal ruler if possible (Helps with cutting a straight line)  The rods are the metal rods from the Integrity Doll stands. They are great as they are adjustable.  All of the above can be found on E.Bay or craft stores I'm giving you the sizes I use but you can make your units any size you wish. Measure 40cm longways mark and cut put other piece of board t

Painting Plastic

I've touch on this before but here I will go through the prose step by step... First up room temperatures. Even before you start if you are going to use spray paint then outside or a well ventilated room is a must. Not hot, not cold and not raining. Oh, and no wind...very important no wind if spraying outside... not an issue if working indoors. Remember the sprays do like to float about a bit and all surfaces need to be covered or use a spray box. This can be just an old cardboard box or something you make yourself. My table in the garden is just for spraying and is well away from the plants etc Another must is a mask, I do a lot so mines a bit fancy (I also have Asthma) but a basic mask from your local DIY would be fine  Spray paints are easy enough to find just look around your local DIY or craft store, there is also E.Bay and Amazon.  Start by cleaning what you want to paint then once dry I always use a primer, they come in three colours white, brown and
