Majakan tekoa - Building the Lighthouse

Lähiviikkoina on ollut aikaa ja hurjasti intoa mineilyyn. Majakka edistyy, vaikka se on kyllä aika kamalan vino! Pisan kalteva torni? Onneksi en ole perfektionisti, muuten joutuis aloittamaan koko homman alusta.

I have had so much time and energy for making miniatures these last weeks! The lighthouse I've been working on is coming along. But it is unbelievably crooked! Tower of Pisa..? Luckily I'm not a perfectionist, otherwise I would have to start from the beginning.

Lattialaatat on palapelinpaloista. Kokosin tätä varten puolet 1000 palan palapeliä.

Floor tiles are jigsaw puzzle pieces. I assembled about a half of a 1000 pieces puzzle for this. Then I cut the parts I needed, glued then on and painted them.

 Ylätasanteen kaide puuttuu ja loiston alla oleva pömpeli pitää vielä maalata. Tein loiston pienestä marmeladipurkista, johon tein koholakalla kuviot. D-vitamiinipurkki oli ihan täydellisen kokoinen laittaa sen alle. Valo on purettu Ikean semmoisesta puolipallosta, ledvalosta, joulunaikaan ostettu.

 I still need to make a banister and paint the part that's under the light. I made the light thingy of a small marmalade jar and painted spirals on it with clear dimensional medium. I had a vitamin jar that was perfect for to put under the light. The light itself is from a cheap Christmas led light from Ikea. It was a half sphere and easy to dissemble.

Majakanvartija - Lighthouse Keeper

Uutta projektia pukkaa, teen majakkaa ja sinne majakanvartijan.

I started something new, a lighthouse and a lighthouse keeper.

Majakka on paperimassaa ja vielä pihalla kuivumassa.

I am making the lighthouse out of papermache, it's still drying.
