Moving Up, Ready Or Not!
I have had to Wrench Myself away from this Tiny Room this week, Dear Readers, in part because there were things needing doing in my RL house...(Imagine That!).... and in part because while I really would like to stay in there Forever, admiring the Shadows on the Ceiling, and listening to the tiny Harp...., there ARE only a few more details to add before I must proclaim it Done! One of these Details is proving Very Challenging.... the Statue for the Niche just doesn't show up Anywhere... and I've been Searching! I may have to admit defeat and Sculpt one myself.... we shall see...... I find that a daunting prospect! Another one of the Tiny details I Have managed to build....... it is a Tiny Oval Table to match the Demi-lune Table I had already built. Here below you can see the Table all done.....
I was so happy with the sparkly "Feet" on the Demi-lune Table
that I copied them on purpose for the Oval Table!
And then I had one of those Really Nutty Ideas for what to put ON the table....
I wanted to show some Tarot Cards......
So I Made some REALLY TINY cards...........!
First I took a picture of the Cover of a book about Tarot that had lovely cards printed on the cover....
From standing on top of my step-stool.......
so they would look as Small as possible...
But when I printed the picture out the cards were still too large for the scale.....
So I took a picture of the picture.......
Like this....
(Yeah, I need to learn how to manipulate them in the digital world....)
I know... pretty silly.... you can barely SEE them!
But when you cut them out.......
And glue them onto the Oval Table....
They are ALMOST recognizable......
If you zoom in Really close.....
Or maybe it's just one of those things you have to Pretend.......
When you glance into the Salon....
That you caught someone in the Middle of a Reading....
But they hurried away when they heard you coming....!
Meanwhile, the painted Domed Ceiling has been firmly glued in place.
I decided not to change anything on the painting.......
So Hera is Forever Fleeing an Ardent Zeus....
(If you get down low enough to look up and see them...! )
I'm having Such a Hard time dragging myself away...!
But Like it or NOT I have moved on to work on the Next Level of the Tree House!
And have so far accomplished very little.
The floor of the Next Level is the top layer of the Salon Ceiling....
which you can see here from the outside.
I have filled in with cardboard around the Lunette Window...
which eventually will have a layer of paper mache over it.
And I have scored "Floorboards" onto the floor surface and stained them.....
I am drilling holes in the corners of each floor from here on up
and sliding them onto the vertical wires for an added layer of structural support.
It makes it very easy to raise or lower the ceiling
while you are testing the fit of the parts of the room!
So I have also positioned the Ceiling for this next room..... Temporarily....
Along with the walls... which makes it so much easier to Visualize the space....
And there is already a little Door in the back wall where the stairs come up....
just waiting for the Tiny hinges....
And from the outside you can see the extra layers of cardboard
glued onto the exterior of the Salon in preparation for the next layer of paper mache.
And I have also labeled the wires for each of the lights
so I know which wires go to which fixture....
because as I add the paper mache the wires get buried....
and I want to be sure to keep them properly identified!
So here is the Beginning or the Third Room.....
Not much to show...
but Definitely Moving Up!
