- Day 133 in my video diary, 'A Year in the Life of a Miniaturist' had me thinking about the best use of my miniature mirrored room box. Thanks to one of the many great suggestions I received, I decided to create an illusion of the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles. Just an idea now! Got to bring it to life!
While sitting in front of the heater (-3.5 C here this morning) I knitted a wee hat which fitted Walter perfectly. The pattern will be in the next issue of my Miniature Time traveller magazine.
Of course a hall of mirrors, perfect ! How wonderful that you have seen it in real life so are in good stead to recreate the theme. Travel really broadens inspiration for miniatures 😊 l really like the idea of wall panels the fit into frames, both for ease of decorating and strength, clever idea Jill.👏
It is yet to be proved Coby. I have done a 24th scale house like that and I know I end up with heaps of pieces that I have to make sure I name! This is a much larger house and I think I will build the ground floor totally first. And take my time at it. After a trip to the Hebrides I came back wanting to build a black house. Still percolating in the back of my mind.
Hall of mirrors, fantastic use of this room box. I'm excited to watch your progress. Maybe one day in the future we will see Mr. Tumnus in another box. 😊
Maybe one day! Regards, Jill.
Walter has so much character, lifelike, I almost expect him to speak! Your figures are really good. I love all your ideas and can't wait to see what you do next. King Louie's hair would be quite the challenge, what locks!! hall of mirrors sounds very cool, Thanks for sharing!!
Ye, I must admit the hair does worry me a bit!!!! Regards, Jill.
Hall of mirrors fabulous...I'm sure all your challenges will be amazing ❤❤
I hope so!
Hello Jill. A hall of mirrors is a wonderful idea, im looking for to watching you working on it, along with the Tudor house. Hope the weather doesn't get too cold for you. We've finally had some nice summery weather here in Yorkshire, although today its cool and cloudy.
Have a great week ahead,
Best Wishes from Yorkshire, England 🇬🇧 😊
Only minus 3 this morning. Positively balmy!
And make sure you enjoy your summer days!! After every summer comes another winter ... lol
Regards, Jill.
Wonderful Jill🎉I can’t wait to see your. Hall of mirrors 🤗!
The Hall of Mirrors- fabulous! No doubt it will amazing in your talented hands! Can’t wait!
Stay warm … which is so ironic to write since in these parts we are working to stay cool!
I still need to subscribe to your online miniature magazine! It slipped my mind. Can you provide me a link - thanks, Jill!
❤Kathleen
Hi Kathleen, Jill asked me to reply to this (I do all her magazine admin for my sins!). Easiest would be for you to email me (roger@miniaturetimetraveller.com) and I will send you the links and info. Happy with that? Regards, Roger.
So glad the Sun King idea appealed. Can't wait to see you accomplish this, and you will figure it out, I'm sure.🌞👑👏
Thank you Wendy. That was a great idea! Appreciated!
Love the sound of the hall of mirrors
Morning Sharon. Will be interesting project I think. Regards, Jill.
Lots of things to keep you busy as always!Love Walters cap and the brilliant idea for the room of mirrors.Both king Louis and his sumptuous clothes and hair will be a challenge as will the infinity idea and of course the chandelier but we all know with your creativity you will amaze us with the results.Of course when it gets a bit warmer we can follow the Tudor house too!Best wishes from Yorkshire Dales England.
Walter's cap was a whimsey for the magazine but turned out better than I thought. The cold weather is forcing me to think through my Tudor house plan properly so I do not leave anything to chance. So quite happy drafting up the plans on the kitchen table in the warm. Sounds like your weather is warmish as well. Kind wishes.
Ooooh the hall of mirrors 🤩 that’s an amazing idea! I cannot wait!
Thank you Jen!
😍Walter’s hat is just perfect. He wears it well😊.
I’m fascinated by your process for designing the new house. Keenly watching here! Also, I agree on the warmer color for the hall of mirrors.
Last item, Jill: The Book entitled “All the Light We Cannot See,” may have a nugget or two for the daily quiz. The synopsis of the story may be enough to give you an idea.
I hope you have a wonderful day…nighty night from my side of the globe😴
Thank you Anika. I'll grab the book of Amazon and have a good read. Looking at the synopsis on Good Reads, it promises to be most enjoyable. Just to check, author is Anthony Doere - yes?
@@miniaturetimetraveller yes, that’s right.
Keep warm up there, think Walter's head will be lovely and warm. Happy crafting 😊
Yes, he is much happier now :)
You like a challenge Jill 😊, your new project sounds very exciting, I can’t wait for this one, love Walter’s hat too 🤣, tfs x Julie 🇬🇧
Morning Julie. I needed a hat too this morning!! Minus 3 C to start.
Sun up now, so might get up to double figures even ... lol. Regards, Jill.
