havanaholly Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Shelly, check out the other forums. Additionally, some of us are building/ mini-ing on all sorts of projects not far enough along to post on. Check out the October swap thread & gallery. This forum is the busiest one I subscribe to, even without contests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madhatter Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Hello, Im a little confused about the contest, I have a winter scene that i have already made. You stated that we can not use if it has been in a show, or exhibit. My question is what type of Show?. What would you consider an exhibit? Thanks, Jenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minis On The Edge Posted November 18, 2005 Author Share Posted November 18, 2005 Hi There Jen, as long as it has not been in another contest or has not been exhibited at a show for a contest, you can enter your winter scene :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kato_411 Posted November 19, 2005 Share Posted November 19, 2005 now those are some great papers! I need help with the printies as wallpaper plzz the last 2 times I used a printie on my fireplaces they seem to fade out should I be spraying both sides of the paper? before glueing? plzz help I want to use some Printable wall paper and dont want to have to rip it out! thanks! nutti :o <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Nutti here is what I do with "all" Printables. Print your images... once completely dry... spray with "Preserve It" (this can be found at Michael's or other craft stores) this preserves the colour... then Spray with a Matt Sealer (Krylon Low odor is what I use)... Let dry thoroughly. Thats it! Now this works on Paper and on Cardstock as well. I have printables here that I have had for more than 3 yrs and they are as crisp looking today as they were the day I printed them out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MicroJivvy Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 "Preserve It" Is there more to this name or a brand to go with it? I looked for it today and had a handful of Michael's employees looking at me like I had a third eye in my forehead.... Of course, I've not been impressed with Michael's employees ever since hubby asked one if they carried drafting tables and she said "you mean an easel?"

I have my problems with them too from time to time. The Brand Name of it is "Krylon" and it is called "Preserve It". You will find it in with all their spray sealers and paints. It looks much like the clear sealer cans. This is a product I really just can't live without. Having my own business and making all my own mini labels, tags, boxes, etc... this is a MUST for me. Here is a visual for you... http://www.krylon.com/main/product_templat...product_details Hope this is helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MicroJivvy Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Thank you, Terri... apparently my Michael's doesn't carry it... because I was standing staring at the Krylon cans when I asked for help... But now I have a visual, so I'll try some other shops (like Wal-Mart). Thanks! Claire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knitfiend Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 ;) Having had time to think about it, maybe I will be able to make something. I've been up to my eyeballs with rebuilding my Greenleaf Village (vintage pre-1990) made up as a Christmas display which got sort of squashed when I stored it in the crawl space by mistake a few years ago. It might have been easier to just buy a new village kit, as since then I've improved my mini-making a thousand-fold, but this one holds lots of memories. (Plus it is fully lit, including the decorated trees and lamp posts and I don't want to have to do all that again!) I have an idea for an exterior scene vignette in 1/2 scale, as well as a 1/144th scale scene in a dome. And there's the partly kit-bashed 1/4 scale Arthur that now has a stone-look exterior, no gingerbread trim or shutters, and a new plain porch roof supported by pillars ...... perhaps if I add a fireplace and chimney it can become a skiiing retreat. And what about that acrylic box? I could make a 1/4 scale sledding scene? I'd just need a hill, some children, trees, a nice background picture for the back..... AARGH! Now see what you've done Terri? I'll be dreaming of winter scenes all night. And except for Christmas, I'm not a winter person at all.

Missymew Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Linda - I'm glad that you're thinking of entering the Winter Contest. I'm working on something, but I'm actually most excited about seeing everyone elses' entries. It's so interesting to see other miniaturists' projects.

Anna Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Just thinking out loud here, if I have a part of scene ready not the whole scene would that be possible to use for the competition? I.e if I have some pieces of furniture that group together and not the whole scene/room/roombox? I am contemplating it, but don't know if I have the time to get it ready so far but a little something I know I will have.... Hugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minis On The Edge Posted November 24, 2005 Author Share Posted November 24, 2005 Yes, it can be one room of a dollhouse if that is what you would like to enter. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anya Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 Ok. I have decided that I am going to enter the winter contest, but could I enter something based on a Christmas room? Is the contest only for outside winter scenes or could Christmas celebrations also be included? ;) B.T.W Should we write a little bit about the winter scene that we make?
