I wanted to make a wing chair, and started off with the pattern from Vivienne Boulton's book The Dollhouse Decorator; it's a simple pattern but I wanted to see how the size worked out, and modify it from there. That sad pile on the far left is the first attempt; the cloth was unworkable and I quickly figured out some ways to improve the assembly. The purple one, I cut the inner form into three pieces and installed them separately. The third, I tried some more tricks with how I put it together.

Most of the pieces in the far right chair are cut from balsa instead of cardboard, and I like how that looks. I also modified the pattern so that I could install rounded arms (pieces of dowel rod), and cut bigger "wings". I had to measure and fit the back cardboard piece; I think that section still needs some work, getting that back piece to mate up nicely to the main structure... (Thinner cardboard, maybe?) The arm fronts need more definition also.I have been looking at the lovely chairs by http://1inchminisbykris.blogspot.com/ for inspiration; her work is so fine and detailed! My chairs won't begin to approach hers but I will probably go through a couple more iterations before I call it good enough for the roombox... I am sorely tempted to buy her faux leather wing chair and ottoman because I love them so much, but I really wanted to see what I could do with a wing chair. (Besides, if I got them, I wouldn't want to give them away with the roombox! )
