Updates and edits

The bed mattress sits much lower now (Ariana won't need a step ladder to get into bed now, lol) and she has a fur throw that she can use for extra warmth on the bed or on the cold stone floor. The vanity has had a makeover and now looks more "royal" and has more presence with the draping over the mirror. I also added some necklaces to the vanity top. And you can't see it, but there's a fire in the fireplace.
The banquet is complete now. I added a pastry and jugs for ale and wine. The tankards are filled with "ale" or they will look like it once the glass paint is dry. This photo doesn't show it but there's also a fire in this fireplace. All of the food was made with Crayola air dry clay. Normally I would use polymer clay but I want to use the air dry stuff before it dries out.
This isn't the best photo but I wanted to show you that there are little birds and a cannon on top of the castle tower. The cannon is an aquarium decoration that was perfectly scaled.

This wedding scene demanded to be created!

I woke up with this idea in my head this morning and then spent the entire day working on it. I made everything - the vanity and stool, the dressing screen, the wedding gown, veil and undies, the flowers, and all of the accessories. I think the only thing I forgot was the garter, lol.



Oops, a correction. I didn't make the flowers but I did arrange them.

Second time's a charm

Although I liked the finish on the round vanity, I was just not happy with the size or scale or general feel. So I went on a scavenging mission through my miniature stash (and came out alive! lol) and found this little cabinet. It's really a 1:16 scale plastic nightstand but with the sink basin mounted on top it's the perfect size. I had previously stained it for some other project so I added a couple of sheer coats of pearl glaze to soften the color and I painted the brass hardware a chrome silver. Now I love the way the vanity looks. It's perfect with the other bathroom fixtures.
