Kari Lynn Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Flowers from paper is also on my list Continue working on dolls from polymer. My wish is for them to look a little more human this year I'd also like to learn how to add fur to miniature dogs and cats and maybe move on to learning how to sculpt and fur my own.

havanaholly Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 It's Kathie's fault, but if I can salvage Mildred I want to put a punkah in her diningroom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacey6163 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I picked up a needle felting kit the other day , I would like to learn to make some animals. I'd also like to learn how to make plants & trees and do some mini landscaping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbnmini Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I want to do stonework in either paperclay or egg carton - or both! I've read all the tutorials, have supplies, and have been saving egg cartons - - just was too busy working on rehab projects for clients. My goal is to "just say no" this year so that I have time to work on several of MY OWN projects! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selkie Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 - Punch needle work for mini - used to do RL but haven't tried adapting it for mini yet. - Glass blowing (dreaming big here - but I saw an ad for some intro classes that sounded wonderful - something I've always been fascinated with) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minigrandma10 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Wow, all my things have been listed. I got the felt kit, have the clay to make foods,been trying the paper flowers, love the fur on animals. And to add to this very grand list, I want to learn how to landscape all of my houses.

jbnmini Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Would also add doll-making to my list for this year. I was never really "into" having dolls in my houses, but after watching a demonstration on making & dressing edible figures for cakes I thought perhaps I would try the "real" thing!

rbytsdy Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Hmmmm... Well last year I built a half-scale kit (the Rosedale) which was a first for me; this year I think I would like to make alot of progress on my furniture-making skills. I had made one of Kris' kitchen cabinet pieces (http://1inchminisbykris.blogspot.com/) for the Magnolia which you can see here http://www.greenleafdollhouses.com/forum/index.php?app=gallery&image=85763. Other than the faucet turning out much too big, I was pleased with the results even though I did it in a hurry! This year for the Laurel I'd like to spend some time making a full kitchen suite.

BiffMalawi Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Dolls for me. I am planning a reproduction of the big hall in the movie "Moulin Rouge" in a retro 1970's cabinet TV. Lots of interesting characters in that crowd. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanaholly Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Dolls for me. I am planning a reproduction of the big hall in the movie "Moulin Rouge" in a retro 1970's cabinet TV. Lots of interesting characters in that crowd. With Toulouse Lautrec in a corner at his easel! When I finally went dancing off into dh dollmaking I used two books: Making Miniature Dolls /with Polymer Clay by Sue Heaser 1/12 Scale Character Figures for the Dolls' House by James Carrington In addition check out Richard and Jodi Creagers' site; they have videos to show how they make dolls 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
