When fall approaches I am always drawn to my elf tree house. So I took some evening shots to share. At work I always have to reject beautiful night shots with only the lights on because they just don’t print well on paper and my client prefers crisp inviting photography for their readers.
But online, they are perfection! There is so much mystery and the shadows bring out textures and create a cozy atmosphere.
The tub was purchased and aged. It was very inexpensive from the fairy garden section. All other furniture was made from scratch.
Instead of stairs they have ladders through holes to each floor. Those tree elves are quick climbers and have excellent balance!
A peek inside the bedroom. The dresser was made from scratch. This scale is just a little smaller than 1:12.
I love that armchair! It was a joy to make and now I need to try and make it in 1:24 scale for a house I have been working on for
American Miniaturist magazine. It will be a fun tutorial.
Granny's room is my favorite. Tree elves joke about gnomes and I am sure the gnomes joke about tree elves but when push comes to shove they live in harmony. As you can see a little gnome door weight holds Granny's door open.
The spool of thread was my fathers. He was the son of a tailor so he would purchase fabric while in England on business. Then bring it home and have his tailor make his suits. He had a large collection of buttons and would always repair them if they were loose. He also ended up meeting and bringing my mother to the states from England and then they had me!
The pantry in the kitchen is still empty. So here is where I could use some help. What sort of things should I fill it with? Tree elves live in our world (They are 4-5" tall). They eat natural foods that they forage. They do have a hummingbird nest on their roof so eggs are a great treat. I just have to imagine what they would have on hand and in what sort of containers. Any ideas?
HERE is a postson the stove and cupboard on my old blog. And
HERE is a post showing the structure.
