Woodland fairy door Book Nook commission: Finally completed I here present before you the 'Woodland fairy door Book Nook' I was commissioned to do. It is designed for a child to enjoy and I've included a small post box in the base to place a letter to the fairy if they so wished, I sort of thought the tooth fairy might benefit from this... 😁 You'll see an example of the post box being used and also the set up for how to switch it on and off. It has a switch too but also the battery box has a switch so you have to check both are on 👍 I'm overall really happy with this piece and was a nice different challenge to do. I also only found out after finishing that it's correct name is a Book Nook 😂 🌳🚪🍄 #fairydoor #treetrunk #booknook #treehouse #commission #isolationart #miniaturist #thisweekindioramas #makerscommunity #plasticart #supportthemakers #plasticadict #diorama #fromscratch #artist #handmademovement #byhand #magicdoor #doorinatree #makersgonnamake #creativeart #scratchbuilder #art #booknookstagram #booknooks #makersjourney #craftsmanship #selftaughtartist #miniature #miniatures https://www.instagram.com/p/B_PukF7n4ER/?igshid=is6p6zil1rxw

First opportunity for some detailing and I've built my own hinges for the door 👍 I folded some 0.5 mm plasticard in half and plastic welded it together. I then cut out the shape of the bracing and then did the same for the bracket making sure I fed a plastic rod through to create the hinge joint 👌 so far it's worked properly and I'm chuffed with it. I also scored in some wood grain with a flat headed screwdriver to add some depth. Once I fit the lighting at the weekend this will start to look more tree like 😁 #fairydoor #hinges #imagination #trees #commission #miniaturesize #miniaturist #plasticartist #makerscommunity #plasticart #supportthemakers #plasticadict #diorama #fromscratch #artist #handmademovement #byhand #magicdoor #doorinatree #makersgonnamake #creativeart #scratchbuilder #art #dioramaartist #instaartists #makersjourney #craftsmanship #selftaughtartist #miniature #miniatures https://www.instagram.com/p/B9mgNc6nj2S/?igshid=1siwhmmotrn9u

Woodland fairy door commission: ABSOLUTELY BARKING MAD! 4 steps on my efforts with the bark! I built up the structure with some tin foil which I then wrapped in masking tape. Once covered I then mashed up some paper with PVA to give an uneven surface to the tree... I then covered with paper and using a mixture of filler and PVA I then covered this layer. This allowed me to score in the bark lines with a screwdriver and knife, anything that would make a mark. Once dry I will go back in and create some deeper cuts 🌳🚪 #fairydoor #treetrunk #imagination #bark #commission #miniaturesize #miniaturist #barkingmad #makerscommunity #plasticart #supportthemakers #plasticadict #diorama #fromscratch #artist #handmademovement #byhand #magicdoor #doorinatree #makersgonnamake #creativeart #scratchbuilder #art #maskingtape #nature #makersjourney #craftsmanship #selftaughtartist #miniature #miniatures https://www.instagram.com/p/B946eqqHtXW/?igshid=ki6uw6u4512v

Woodland fairy door commission: At the weekend I finished spraying the undercoats for the three... This gave a really good base to apply layer upon layer of acrylics 👍 Specifically focussing on the root detailing here I used a white as a base coat for the roots and then used a sand colour to add a tint to the roots. To detail the area further I used some old scatter materials to create moss growing around the stairs and tree 👌 I love all the work I've done equally but I am currently really loving this one! #fairydoor #stairs #moss #roots #commission #miniaturesize #miniaturist #plasticartist #makerscommunity #plasticart #supportthemakers #plasticadict #diorama #fromscratch #artist #handmademovement #byhand #magicdoor #doorinatree #makersgonnamake #creativeart #scratchbuilder #art #staircase #instaartists #makersjourney #craftsmanship #selftaughtartist #miniature #miniatures https://www.instagram.com/p/B-HzZMMHcbD/?igshid=ks6jfa9svruy

Woodland fairy door commission: How's all of your weekends so far? I've so nearly finished this wonderful commission and so I thought I would show you it now so when I put the background in you'll see it's effect! I added in some climbing vines with some leaves on to add to the look and balance the image... I've also added a little post box on the left that an elf might have carved and sold... 🌳🚪 #fairydoor #treetrunk #imagination #treehouse #commission #isolationart #miniaturist #barkingmad #makerscommunity #plasticart #supportthemakers #plasticadict #diorama #fromscratch #artist #handmademovement #byhand #magicdoor #doorinatree #makersgonnamake #creativeart #scratchbuilder #art #maskingtape #nature #makersjourney #craftsmanship #selftaughtartist #miniature #miniatures https://www.instagram.com/p/B-SD2vQnbxr/?igshid=g3h3u5drj57g

1/76 scale commission - A 'jarring' situation...: The construction in 6 photos... After designing the piece for the commissioner, I built the base by cutting down a finished tape reel and used foam board to create the top layer. I then drew out the design and layout on to it. Next I had to cut out the grave in the allotment as I wanted that to have some depth! I covered the entire structure with a handmade dirt mixture and ensured the allotment patches were visible still. I spent some time creating all the details I wanted including the tree (YouTube video on this is very close 👍) and then it was prime time. I used the airbrush to add significant depth to the soil before weathering, adding soil layers in to create some 3D realism and not make the base boring. Finally I added the necessary figures, something I only usually do in my rally dio's... And there you have it, one couple hiding the murder of the allotment owner who was threatening their dominance over the yearly village competition... or whichever story you think it might tell... 😂 Hope you have all had an amazing weekend! #process #productivity #staticgrass #murdermystery #commission #miniaturesize #miniaturist #plasticartist #artcommunity #plasticadict #supportthemakers #greenery #wireart #fromscratch #artist #handmademovement #byhand #scalemodel #mystery #makersgonnamake #storytelling #scratchbuilder #art #sculptureart #instaartists #makersjourney #craftsmanship #selftaughtartist #miniature #miniatures (at Somewhere Down the Road) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9MBARMHKSi/?igshid=107uobajkx6xq

Woodland fairy door commission: How are you spending your time in isolation? It's well and truly begun for me and as you can imagine that means a lot of time to give to making! This morning I've come up with a process for making toad stools... Simply some sticky pearl things I had in a box, drill a small hole to super glue in a piece of plastic rod and then create a mixture of PVA, filler and bicarbonate soda and paste it around the base and hey presto you have a couple of toad stools! 😁 Stay tuned for the finished versions 🍄 #fairydoor #isolationcreations #toadstool #toadstools #commission #miniaturesize #miniaturist #plasticartist #makerscommunity #plasticart #supportthemakers #plasticadict #diorama #fromscratch #artist #handmademovement #byhand #magicdoor #doorinatree #makersgonnamake #creativeart #scratchbuilder #art #isolation #isolationart #makersjourney #craftsmanship #selftaughtartist #miniature #miniatures https://www.instagram.com/p/B-KLxq9HQFQ/?igshid=cuenn3ks7qzp
