Wood stove and rug mockups
The Artist's Studio is small but it needs a method of heating. I thought about simple radiators, but where's the fun in that?
I made a quick paper mockup to test the overall stove size to fit the door and fire. I have the wood dowel from the original HBS Loft kit to serve as the stove pipe, but I rolled up a piece of paper for the mockup. I pinned on wood beads for the legs. I think it's a little short overall, so I plan to add a base for wood storage.
I believe mat board will be the best material for the final stove. Kris at 1 Inch Minis does amazing things with mat board, and I've enjoyed working with it using her tutorials. I had originally thought about bricking all the way up the wall in addition to the base under the stove, but then I saw a showing a partial brick wall and loved it. The stove rounds out the rest of the furnishings for the living area....nice and cozy!
I made a photocopy of the blue medallion rug I've been stitching to see if it will work in the space. I took two copies of the finished half and taped them together. I think there should be enough room for it here. No way would I put a white base rug in front of a wood stove or in a painting studio in real life, but in mini-land...it's all good!
