Howdy all, Eli here again. I was wondering: have any of you mini-makers found a good way to keep track of all your paints, stains, glues, varnishes, waxes, enamels, etc. and, most importantly, their effects? Today I was deliberating on a faux 'gilded' finish for my 'decoupage' Queen Anne tea table (house of miniatures kit; it's a work in progress). I tested my gold effect wax and some oil-based enamel on a scrap of painted wood (I wanted a well-worn look). It occurred to me that I could keep a record of my different materials on different surfaces! You could use photos, I suppose, but I prefer the idea of having materials in real life. That way, there's no funny business with lighting or lenses; plus, if we date them, we could see how effects or finishes age! Have you all made a finishes/effects journal of sorts before? Or have you found some other solution? Or, lastly, do you all have this information stored in your noggins (if so, I commend you because I can't remember it all!)? As usual, I'd love to hear from you!

Lighting Effects: Sunlight Through A Wimdow
My Miniature Madness posted a topic in General Mini Talk
I am wondering if anyone has done a sunlight effect in a room box. I've been researching online and just can't seem to come up with the correct sequence of words on Google to find what I need. The idea is that the back wall of the room box will be a false wall with a couple windows in it. I'd like to create the effect of sunlight coming through the windows. Has anyone seen or done this? Any tips or techniques would be greatly appreciated. Also, if I find any useful information on my own I'll post updates on this thread. Thanks everyone!
