Fruit and Vegetables

Weeks ago a prepared the paper bags for the my Deli but haven't got the time to finish them. And because I thought some of you could like them too, I made them in Englisch, German, French, Italian and Spanish.

Celebration

Hurray! 300 Followers!

As you know, I thought about a giveaway, but now I have another idea.
If you are a follower of my blog and if you are interested in a 10% coupon for my Etsy shop, you can get one the following way:
Please leave a comment AND send me a mail with "300 Followers" as refernce. Then I'll send you the coupon code for the shop. Be assured, that I use your mail adress only for sending you the code!
You can do this till 1th of June and the coupon will be valid till I close the shop for the summer (6.-29. July).
This way there is not only one winner, but everyone, who is interested in my miniatures, can benefit.
I hope, you like the idea.

And if you don't find  an interesting miniature, but have an idea of what you'd like - just tell me in the mail. Perhaps I have something and can put it in my shop.
Have a wonderful weekend

Fresh Dairy Products

I just added a few miniatures with dairy products in my ETSY Shop. One of my favorites are these raw milk goat cheeses. The cheese in the middle has a 3-D goat head on it.

And because I LOVE 3-D effects I made this butter. It has a 3-D cow relief in the top.

Oops! I spilled the milk....

Some cheese graters.

And every shop should have tin signs...
I hope, you like it.
Have a wonderful Sunday

Spring in Berlin and a Question

Isn't it great. After months of Winter weather, spring finally arrived and everything is blooming and making up time for the 4 weeks delay of sunshine.
And now I ask for a favour. Could you please tell me, what your favorite scales are. Multiple answers are possible.

Interesting scales
	1/12
	1/24
	1/48
pollcode.com free polls

I never thought about making miniatures in 1/48, but if there are some of you interested in, I'd like to take on a fresh challenge.
If you can't see the blog poll, it would be awfully nice, if you'd write  it in a comment.

1/12 - 1/24 - 1/48.

THANKS A LOT!

The promised pictures

These is a closer look at the book cases. I made nearly 1000 books and I'll have some of them in my Etsy shop in the future. They cannot be opened, because they are made only for the purpose of decorative covers, especially nice spines. The space under the cases will be filled with baskets and wood for the fireplace.
And this is the whole room - sitting on our red sideboard and as you can see - it is sunny again:

Bay Window Room - Working on the Table

These clamps are one of the most wonderful things ever invented for miniaturists - and also the nail polishing files, scalpel.... everything just for us... or so :))).

Bay Window Room - Carpet and Table

This is the work of the last 2 days. I have been very, very busy. The carpet alone took 15 hours.
I hope you like it.

Bay Window Room - Fireplace

This is the fireplace so far. I want to add a few burnt logs in the front, but this has to wait, till I found the perfect wood.

Bay Window Room - 2nd Approach

After getting distracted for months I promised myself, that I start again with the work on my Bay Window Room after the show in Apeldoorn.The last days I made the window to the conservatory, the writing table in front of it and the "spirit" of the fireplace. I have to take pictures, when it's dark. I hope, I'll remember taking them. As you can see - the sun is shining brightly today- wonderful!

Now I unwrapped the glasses our friend Rainer made for the table of the Bay Window Room and the doors for the glass cabinet. But they have to wait. I can't find the pieces I wanted to use as hinges. So it's only the table that I'm working on.
