Bathtub detail
I made the shower tile using Word. (Yes, Microsoft Word). I started by making a page of long hexagons filled with a tile texture sampled from real life tile and edged with a thin white border. I printed this on computer paper and used 3M Super77 spray glue to adhere the paper to mat board. I applied a generous coat of Triple Thick Gloss Glaze. Once dry, I cut the tile sheets to fit my space and used a stylus to score the grout lines.
The tub is a spare Chrysnbon piece purchased from Sir Thomas Thumb at the local mini shows; these came without hardware but are perfect when you want the tub to make a built-in. The bath tub is removable so I can clean/dust it. The overflow is the tip of a pen cap. I had a drain cover, but I had to snag that for the kitchen sink so I ended up painting the molded drain in the tub. The faucet is vintage hardware. The shower head and control lever are from ELF Miniatures, but I added washer escutcheons and painted hot/cold detailing.
I made the towels, bath products, and scrubby. The exquisite basket was made by Lidi at Basketcase Miniatures.
