Decorating mini dishes

When I was going through my supplies, I was happy to find some waterslide decals which I have printed a long time ago. I used them for decorating these dishes.

Miniature mortar from stone clay - Mortero en miniatura

I have been trying different kinds of clays. This mortar and pestle are made from air dry stone clay. I like the result very much, but I found working with the clay a a bit difficult as it was so... sandy!

These rustic terracotta dishes are made from basic air dry Fimo.

And here is a tray and plates which I decorated with water slide decals  which I recently made. 

I have also been making some miniatures from silk clay and foam clay. I will post pictures of them soon!

Making miniature decals - Hacer calcomanias para miniaturas

I tried making miniature decals for the first time already some time last year. I made just few ones to start with and they came out fine. Here are two plates which I decorated with them then.

Now I wanted to make some more and I decided to make a whole sheet of them at a time. After printing the pictures on the paper (inkjet waterslide decal paper) I let the ink dry for half an hour before spraying the sheet with varnish a couple of times. Now I will just have to be patient enough to wait until the varnish has dried - that is the most difficult part! :-) 

At a Miniatures Fair

Irmeli and I visited the Miniatures Fair in Lahti today. It was organised by the Dollshouse hobbyists' assocation of Päijät-Häme. This is one of my purchases, a Lundby stove from the '70s. I am going to place it in my 1:16 scale Lisa dollshouse.

I also bought this Siamese cat

 

and these nail decals which can also be used for decorating miniatures. They are similar to the  water slide decals which I just recently tried for the first time.

I also bought some fabrics, plates and other dishes and several kinds of findings, frames etc.

A very good fair day indeed!

Water slide decals for decorating - Siirtokuvia koristeluun

I bought some floral water slide decals from Eden Miniaturas and I tried them for decorating this cupboard. I am quite pleased with the result. I have never used such decals before. I messed a bit with the tiniest pieces when they were wet - some of them just disappeared somewhere from my fingers! But luckily I bought several sheets, so I have plenty of extra pieces. I am going to use them for decorating more furniture and some plates and other dishes.
