I'm currently on a long weekend away in bourton on the water in the Cotswolds and I thought it'd be fitting to share again some pictures of this little cottage that I made a few years back, it's a replica of the little one at Bibury very near where we're staying, its 1/80th scale (That's my miniature of Bibury Cottage that's that scale, not the real one 😂) #bibury #smallcottage #cotswolds #cutecottages #cotswoldstone #cottage #stonework #nationaltrust #timecapsuleart #recycledmaterials #completedart #fineartminiatures #artinajar #finishedart art #dioramamaker #timecapsulescratchbuilder #timecapsuleart #fineart #lightson #makersjourney #sculptureart #scratchbuilt #art #lettheartdothetalking #diorama #artistoninstagram #dioramaart #craftsmanship #artist #handmade (at Bibury) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZ43meHtWCm/?utm_medium=tumblr

(1/80 scale) Small Bibury Cottage - Completed piece: A comparison with the real cottage at the base of Awkward hill, Bibury. - This cottage formed a collection of cottages that were originally for mill workers in the area I believe. The other cottages sat opposite and were more of a terraced set up. I had seen this cottage so many times on Instagram and I couldn't pin point where it was for ages and then one day recently I found it on Google maps. From that moment I felt compelled to make it in miniature 😁 #bibury #tinycottage #thecotswolds #cutecottages #cotswoldstone #cottage #stonework #nationaltrust #timecapsuleart #recycledmaterials #completedart #fineartminiatures #artinajar #spotthedifference #dioramamaker #timecapsulescratchbuilder #timecapsuleart #fineart #comparisonkills #makersjourney #sculptureart #scratchbuilt #art #lettheartdothetalking #diorama #artistoninstagram #dioramaart #craftsmanship #artist #handmade (at Bibury-National Trust) https://www.instagram.com/p/CF-CwhfnbQj/?igshid=1a1r6ie3hdy6i

(1/80 scale) Small Bibury Cottage - Completed piece: It's finally finished and I'm really pleased with the results. It depicts the tiny cottage that sits in the village of Bibury at the bottom of awkward hill. I made this piece because I simply felt I wanted to make a tiny house in a tiny scale to fit in a jar... Having the function to press down the jar and turn the lights on and off adds to it's cuteness, I'm pleased I fitted that mechanism 😁 I'm now looking forward to starting my next project 'Poppins restaurant Worcester' detailed a post or so ago 👍 #bibury #smallcottage #cotswolds #cutecottages #cotswoldstone #cottage #stonework #nationaltrust #timecapsuleart #recycledmaterials #completedart #fineartminiatures #artinajar #finishedart art #dioramamaker #timecapsulescratchbuilder #timecapsuleart #fineart #lightson #makersjourney #sculptureart #scratchbuilt #art #lettheartdothetalking #diorama #artistoninstagram #dioramaart #craftsmanship #artist #handmade (at Bibury-National Trust) https://www.instagram.com/p/CF7eDTNnTdF/?igshid=aexzypjd8wd4

(1/80 scale) Small Bibury Cottage: It's coming a long nicely! As you will have seen on my story I've been picking out brickwork in accordance with the references to get a likeness 😁 Also to note, I'm having a short break from working on commissions for this month but I'm open to accepting any to start in November 👍 #bibury #smallcottage #cotswolds #village #cotswoldstone #cottage #stonework #nationaltrust #timecapsuleart #recycledmaterials #wip #modelmaker #artinajar #wipart #dioramamaker #timecapsulescratchbuilder #timecapsuleart #fineart #references #makersjourney #sculptureart #scratchbuilt #art #lettheartdothetalking #diorama #artistoninstagram #dioramaart #craftsmanship #artist #handmade (at Bibury-National Trust) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFuZrJEHtrT/?igshid=k8dvmk72jgxd

(1/80 scale) Small Bibury Cottage: Busy man at the moment and so whilst I'm getting the Peugeot 205 ready I'm also carving brickwork with my trusty screwdriver that never lets me down at any scale... The white part that forms the stone work is trust filler applied in its pure form and smoothed out. I then let it dry and then sand down all the walls to gain flat surfaces to carve in to. I'm also not worried of I have a few irregular bumps and dips as they add to the character of the walls inorder to convey the impression of beautiful Cotswold stone... I will update you soon when I've completed carving all the stone work... #bibury #smallcottage #biburyvillage #village #cotswoldstone #cottage #carving #tiny #timecapsuleart #recycledmaterials #sketchbookdrawing #modelmaker #artinajar #sidehustle #dioramamaker #timecapsulescratchbuilder #timecapsuleart #fineart #scalemodel #makersjourney #modelmaking #scratchbuilt #art #lettheartdothetalking #diorama #artistoninstagram #dioramaart #craftsmanship #artist #handmade (at Bibury, Gloucestershire) https://www.instagram.com/p/CE7FEktHFPK/?igshid=c6lmvx22yucr

(1/80 scale) Small Bibury Cottage: The soldering irons been out and we have some lights on in the tiny cottage of Bibury... Really simple, just one LED from a strip of them which I've soldered into a circuit with the press switch on the base and coin battery holder 👌 now to apply the tiles to the roof individually, one at a time... 'patience' is the key tool I'm selecting from my personality tool box for this next part of the process 😁 #bibury #smallcottage #cotswolds #village #cotswoldstone #cottage #lightson #soldering #timecapsuleart #recycledmaterials #wip #modelmaker #artinajar #wipart #dioramamaker #timecapsulescratchbuilder #timecapsuleart #fineart #electrics #makersjourney #modelmaking #scratchbuilt #art #lettheartdothetalking #diorama #artistoninstagram #dioramaart #craftsmanship #artist #handmade (at Bibury-National Trust) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFZ_YFeHZVm/?igshid=11rm9im38m7g5
