How to make a Miniature King and 12th Scale Thone in under Seven Days!
On Day 149 in my miniaturist’s video diary (‘A Year in the Life of a Miniaturist’), in response to several requests for all the video’s about building a throne for Louis XIV to be in one place, we created this post. So, follow me from the initial idea for the throne, leading on to how I made and decorated it. Then join me in my journey to make a miniature replica of ‘The Sun King’ himself!
It was all a lot of fun, and when we pulled the various posts together to make this all-inclusive one, it was a big surprise to find we built the throne and made the man in less than a week!! That must be some record for a miniature project like this!! A big thank you to all the miniaturists who gave me...

Day 148: Cutting parts for my miniature Tudor home; now named Holyoak House.
Просмотров 1159 часов назад
Day 148 in 'A Year in the Life of a Miniaturist' saw me covered in sawdust while cutting out the structural elements for my miniature Tudor Merchant's house. There are lots to cut, so kept me busy! But, fairly repetitive so not much to share visually. I do have a name for the house and the family to share though. It will be called 'Holyoak House'. Watch the video to meet all the family members ...
Day 147 in my Miniaturist's Diary: starting the Tudor Merchants House and a Tour of a Tudor Inn

Today, Day 147 in my video diary (A Year in the Life of a Miniaturist) I made a start on my 12th scale Tudor Merchants House and give you all a tour of a Tudor Inn I created a few years ago. You can tell I love that period in history with all the miniature work I build from it! And the cat (Ginger) gets in on the act!
My miniature king, Louis XIV, now on his throne. And fully dressed!

Day 146 in my miniaturist's video diary has my miniature Louis XIV fully dressed and seated on his throne in the Hall of Mirrors. Let me know what you think. Tomorrow I will be getting ready to build my 12th scale Tudor Mechants house. The start will entail a lot of time in my garage (aka workshop) doing the basic timberwork, so may not post for a few days. Not very exciting to see video's of s...

On Day 145 of my Miniaturist's Diary (A Year in the Life of a Miniaturist) I was reminded there are no shortcuts if you want the finished article to look realistic. So, it was all about preparing the fabric, colouring the lace (that was done with use of my cold cup of coffee!) and doing the gold embriodery (this created with gold thread from an old curtain tie I found in my stash). I have also ...

Day 143 of 'A Year in the Life of a Miniaturist' was lots of fun - all about transformations! You have to watch to learn more! On the practical side, my miniature king, Louis XIV, now has a full head of hair and some underwear. In the video I show how I made his ringlets. Now for some interesting history: Louis XIV (who ruled 72 years!) developed the concept of a 3 piece 'suit'. Not a suit in t...

Brilliant, Jill, just brilliant!❤
Great recap! So impressive, Jill! ❤ Kathleen
That is an awesome project ,it’s beautiful
Oh I would love to see that!
Hello Jill, I enjoyed watching the recap, the roombox looks amazing. Have a lovely weekend. Best Wishes from Yorkshire, England 🇬🇧 😊
I love miniature portraits!
This turned out so well! You are really so talented and creative! This was just a joy to follow along with!
Wow Jill the details are amazing, and I love the name for this new project, tfs x Julie 🇬🇧
You really brought Louis to life, Jill. Thanks for the recap, Roger, done well. TFS.
Love your Tudor inn Jill, amazing work as always, tfs x Julie 🇬🇧
Fantastic recap Jill, I need to catch up on a couple of your videos, just lost my niece on Thursday, putting things in your bra definitely is the best way to warm things up lol, l needed something to make me smile, tfs x Julie 🇬🇧
Wonderful recap🥰
Thank you 😋
The beginnings of a great house and loving the family connection to the house name and the back story.So great to find a woman who was cleverer than her husband and was either educated or educated herself in your family's history.Someone suggested long ago I write down the back story to each dolls house and all the names of the people living there both family and servants if there were any and keeping it all in a notebook to stay with each house,which I thought a great idea.Best wishes from Yorkshire dales England.
Love the story of family in the making..❤❤❤
Hello Jill, I'm really enjoying watching your building process, I look forward to seeing the first walls going up. I like how you've chosen an historical family name, Elizabeth must have been a fine woman to be able to write given that her husband couldn't. Family history is fascinating, I spent many years researching mine, it's amazing to find some interesting people with interesting professions in our the past. Have a great weekend. Best Wishes from Yorkshire, England 🇬🇧 😊
Thanks so much!
I admire the literate woman from that era!
Oh that sounds wonderful Jill. Can’t wait to see it!
Hope you like it!
This is wonderful!
I will have to go and look for it, it must be fabulous
Ooh drooling over the workshop, lovely to see the wee Tudor house too... A pat for Ginger.. She is hoping to be made miniature 😊
Ginger just loves finding little 'caves' to rest in, in my studio :)
How lovely to name your house after family history, it is going to be an interesting project, appreciate you sharing and look forward to seeing it come together 😊
It really is!
How lovely to personalize your house in this way! I love it. Gives one lots to think about. So interesting watching this project unfold. Thanks for sharing. :)
Thanks so much! 😊
Anne Holyoak will be so pleased!
This was a great video seeing your fantastic workshop and the very foundation's of the Tudor merchants house and then your other completed house which just grew and grew like Topsy!So brilliant to be going with you and Roger on another creative journey along with occasional four legged coasters.Best wishes from Yorkshire dales England.
Glad you are continuing to enjoy it all Robin!! I thought folks might tire of a post every single dsay. Regards, Jill.
Fabulous work shop something we can all drool over.. Thank you Roger for showing us around. Look forward to your new build..❤❤
Thanks 👍
Hello Jill, your workshop looks amazing 🤩, your other Tudor house is lovely I'm so looking forward to seeing the new one grow from the base upwards. Have a great rest of the week. Best Wishes from Yorkshire, England 🇬🇧 😊 PS. Could I ask you what size knitting needles you use for your miniature knitting please ? Thank you.
Thanks Diane. The needles are English size 21. Not sure of the American size. I make my own.
@@miniaturetimetraveller thanks Jill, I just had a look at mine, I have 0.7 and 1 mm , so not too dissimilar to yours, I might have another try at some tiny knitting 😊
It's a very zen like expeience :)
I was in need of a hanger/holder! Thanks for the idea. ❤
Glad it was helpful!
I had the one in the center. All sharp metal edges😊
It was interesting to read about the company and it's history. From another era. Apparently they were the largest toy manufacturer in the world at their peak. Impressive!
I’m glad it finally warmed up enough for you to work in the garage! Also, the Tudor house is just lovely…I really think the front of it is so beautiful ❤
Some days I think it will never be warm. I love Spring.
Thanks👍🏼🌺
You’re welcome 😊
Looking forward to watch the Tudor house evolve.👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
So am I lol!!
Thanks a lot for your tour through your stunning Tudor house. The detailing is stunning. Well done. There is obviously some strange attraction between cats and small spaces like dolls houses. Mine always tried to fit in even if they couldn't.
I think cats like putting their scent on everything their owners have. Part of belonging to the pride, I think. Any new doll house gets the Ginger once over.
You have a fantastic workshop. I think Ginger has other ideas what should go in that space 😂( Ginger) can’t wait to see more of the new house and family.😊🥰
I think so too!
😂
I love cats they have their own minds.And don’t mind getting what they want. No questions asked 😂
Lol I didn’t get this one right either
Some are quite obscure to be fair. Must go and find one for today's question :)
The Tudor house is a beauty! And.. the workshop is an entire factory.
I'd like a bigger one. Then it would look just as messy but on a larger scale. Ha ha.
I love it already! 😊
Thank you! 😊
What a terrific shop you have! Goodness, up you are a one-woman show! No dispatch to your marvelous photographer and electrical, of course! Can’t wait to get each bit of progress! Thank you! ❤ Kathleen
Thank you! 😊 I brought the table saw 2 years ago. I love it so much. I could have slept with it! It is so accurate.
@@miniaturetimetraveller oh my gosh! The saw company should hire you as their spokeswoman - you already have a catchy slogan! ❤️ Kathleen
Can't wait , so inspiring. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
This was so much fun! You really do have a fabulous workshop! And it was such a treat to see your other little Tudor house! I really am excited to be here at the start for this Tudor merchant’s house! And the family, I know that you will add all kinds of interesting details that will really bring them to life. And you cannot beat a ginger cat for improving your own life! Cats make everything better😻 Almost like canine good citizen do 😂💕💕💕
Glad you enjoyed it! I've always messed in sheds. I used to make people sized furniture as a hobby. Can you see cats going to training schools. Ha ha. And would they care about awards?
@@miniaturetimetraveller 😂😂😂 You make some very good points! I didn’t know that you made people sized furniture, How did you go from that to Miniatures?
Great episode, I watched twice. You do have a fabulous workshop and thank Roger for his participation in bringing us these updates. It's a lovely place fpr a Ginger Cat too. This new project will be epic! I love the little Tudor house you featured here, I remember you telling about the Dove box, and ornaments, all so fascinating! Thanks very much for all you do. :)
Our pleasure!
Lovely I’m surprise you didn’t use that lovely French blue. He does look very well done.💕
Thank you! 😊I did use that blue but under the orange light in the chandelier it probably changed colour a bit.
Congratulations - Louis XIV is the crowning piece in your stunning shadow book. Well done.
Thank you Michael!
He turned out great and I really love his hair!!
Thanks for the feedback Joni!
Spectacular, looks fabulous, from a mirrored room box to a magnificent display, you never cease to amaze..❤❤❤❤
Thank you. I do love seeing how things evolve from ideas to the finished article :)
WOW.. You have been busy. Louis is very handsomely dressed. 😊
Thank you! 🤗
love Louis and his room of mirrors. I had my computer up really loud to hear you this time as I was using the Cricut and it is noisyhaha
Roger just 'loves' it when I have the Cricut and 3D printer running in the office :)
He looks wonderful Jill you did an amazing job on him and the room! I don’t know what more you could have as a surprise 🤗
Thank you Irene!
You are so welcome 🤗
Simply Regal !!! It's fantastic🎉
Thanks Byron!
I am amazed at how you have transformed the simple mirrored box into an abode, complete with throne, fit for a king. Then used some wire, wool and fabric to create the iconic king himself.👏👏
Thank you so much 😀
Oh Jill, what a beautiful chandelier and gorgeous outfit for Louis, it all looks amazing, another successful project l would say, tfs x Julie 🇬🇧
Got a few great pieces to just enhance the chandelier a little at a great bead shop in Wellington when we went over for the day yesterday. Regards, Jill.
