TaliasEclectics Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I've always been completely mesmerized by miniature dollhouses, and told my husband when the children are grown and out on their own I wanted him to build me a dollhouse that I could decorate while he worked on a classic car, his hobby. I was re-enchanted when I won a box at an estate auction for something else a few years ago and found some small brass miniatures in it! Unfortunately this fall, while designing a fall diorama in my head for my children (5 boys under 11 with another baby on the way!), I began looking for some tiny bears in the Internet. The rest is history. I bought an old Whitney Tiffani kit on ebay for $17, read a bunch on Greenleaf, dry fitted it, it spoke to me about what it wanted to be and where it wanted to be bashed, and here I am.....designing a spinning/weaving studio partially recreating my mother's, for her! I am having so much fun! I lose sleep nearly every night thinking about it! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Welcome to the little family, Talia. There are online instructions for making mini teddy bears from chenille pipe cleaners: or was that not the kind of diorama you were making?

TaliasEclectics Posted January 9, 2018 Author Share Posted January 9, 2018 Thank you, Holly. My diorama plans of recreating a simple little scene from the Bernstein Bears Spooky Old Tree never materialized and probably won't now that I'm on to bigger things! :) Maybe next year. Ha!

TaliasEclectics Posted January 9, 2018 Author Share Posted January 9, 2018 I've been reading the forums for posting pictures, but I haven't quite got it yet. I think it's because I have no PC, and I'm only working from a Samsung tablet, and I'm not a technical wizard. Wanted to show the loom I bought for my mom's studio and the progress and bashing on the Tiffani. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t lose sleep but I do find that thinking about my build helps me wind down as I go to sleep. It is exciting tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
