Well done with the candles.
I have wa...Hello Emily,<br />Well done with the candles.<br />I have watched Merlin several times and vowed to myself that I would make Gaius's home or at least a project inspired by it. Having several projects on the go already and 3 times as many on my "wish to do" list, I fear I my have to wait until I retire to make a start. But for now I shall enjoy watching your project develop.<br />:o)<br />~Angela~Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11848127715031024538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7984780462164121016.post-34149698859129608412010-07-04T09:56:54.558+01:002010-07-04T09:56:54.558+01:00Hi Emily, so great to see someone else my age blog...Hi Emily, so great to see someone else my age blogging! :) I look forward to seeing all your adventures, and I love the candles you made, especially the candlestick, it looks great!Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06058680605295494822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7984780462164121016.post-69660444118897875592010-07-03T16:01:01.487+01:002010-07-03T16:01:01.487+01:00Thankyou!

Thanks to your mom, I also am hooked and want to do a box for myself. I want a Harry Potter themed one though.<br /><br />JamieCreepy Creations by Jamie Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14660525815265897239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7984780462164121016.post-43988843572093523982010-07-03T15:19:04.273+01:002010-07-03T15:19:04.273+01:00Thankyou Michelle for the room box advice.

I mixed white and transparent fimo together for a couple and i agree they look more realistic and waxy than the others!<br /><br />Hi Ara. I may have to make furniture for my setting so if I do then i'm sure i'll be looking for advice on that!<br /><br />Yes Katie, i'm already getting addicted to clay! :) Thankyou for the ideas and advice and I will look into the things you suggested.<br /><br />Thankyou Julie. I too have very little patience with miniature objects so those cheats sound really good!! I will try the liquid fimo drops a little later when I do my potion bottles and the birthday candle idea is brilliant!<br /><br />Hi Nikki. Yes, when i started watching Merlin I too thought it would be brilliant inspiration for miniatures! And I will check out Katie's page in a bit to look at the room scene.<br /><br />Thankyou for all your help everyone!<br /><br />x x xEmilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13315312865946078119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7984780462164121016.post-28232400558358605262010-07-03T14:46:25.343+01:002010-07-03T14:46:25.343+01:00Hi Emily. Welcome to blogland!
I love, love, love ...Hi Emily. Welcome to blogland!<br />I love, love, love your project. I watched Merlin all the time because i loved the props and ideas it gave me.<br />Your candles are wonderful and looking forward to seeing more as you go along. <br />If you pop to Katies clay corner, (you can find her blog on the blogs i follow), and go back a few pages you can see a house she is making out of foam used to pack electrical items. Mixed with some wood you too could use it to make an open room scene, keeping it light in weight and cheap to make. Would be perfect for the type of walls you are after.<br />Lots of love and have fun with your mini making.<br />Nikki xxxnikkinikkinikki72https://www.blogger.com/profile/05767492628469316379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7984780462164121016.post-9504662304508468312010-07-03T07:25:13.999+01:002010-07-03T07:25:13.999+01:00Very good first try Emily, they look great!
Althou...Very good first try Emily, they look great!<br />Although I have al the patience in the world with dolls, when it comes to making miniature accessories I like to cheat LOL my patience just runs out ! I use jewellry findings quite often, believe me there is one for anything you want to make !! As for candles, the thin ones I havent found a cheat for ,although liquid fimo makes good waxy drips.For fat chunky church type ones you can simply cut down birthday cake candles , you can also light them first for some lovely burned wicks and drips. <br />julie xxxjulie campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16902081962358238140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7984780462164121016.post-87495507427983023732010-07-03T03:12:55.962+01:002010-07-03T03:12:55.962+01:00Hi Emily.... First, Awesome job one the candles! B...Hi Emily.... First, Awesome job one the candles! Be careful though....clay can be very addictive:) As for making an attachment to hang the one on the wall.... remember you can make almost anything with paper, it just needs a couple coats of paint and some varnish to make it stong....A little wire would work, too...you can always paint that, too! And I would suggest making your first roombox, or scene an easy one...That way you can finish it, You can always go back later in life and 'make it bigger'...What about doing a scene in a gift bag~ or in a box from soaps~ the ones that come in a box with a clear cover~ Casey from Casey's minis has a lot of these in her earlier blogs. <br />And for the walls, you can use plaster~ it's not too expensive- just smear it on and fluff it up....Hope all this helps:)<br /><br />Can't wait to see what you do with this project:)<br />KatieKatiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00588140085362364030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7984780462164121016.post-35268012872606591182010-07-03T01:03:35.357+01:002010-07-03T01:03:35.357+01:00Hi Emily!

I like the candle stick too. :o)<br /><br />As to the room box or make your own, it depends on how apt you are with a saw?! You could use foam board as that's so much lighter and easier to use. I'd probably go for a room box for ease, but if you make it yourself (especially if it's made out of foam board) you can cut some interesting window/door shapes in it, etc., and if you want to wire in lights, foam board is so much easier to do that too.:o) <br /> <br />I think this is a fabulous project full of great things to make! <br /><br />Michelle xxMichellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15844807744316681870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7984780462164121016.post-29216367678663831422010-07-02T23:11:08.560+01:002010-07-02T23:11:08.560+01:00Arnt I cruel!

Just need to shorten the cone shaped lamp. Must be a proper name for these and Im sure someone can help with how to do them and the fixings. I love the whole room scene but maybe start with a smaller version with just a backdrop and floor and then expand. Now go to bed, potion making tomorrow! xxxxWhittaker's Miniatureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17548993983143295938noreply@blogger.com
