Annaliese.:)


So she is finished.

She is Annaliese, the kit designed by Dana Burton for this year's international classes.
Head mold is by one of my favourite doll makers - Annemarie Kwikkel, painted by Dana Burton, hands mold by Dawn Adam.

As Dana wrote once the doll is tiny and should measure under 14cm. I measured her twice before gluing her torso to the body...only to realize she is much taller after gluing all parts together! LOL!

What you saw last time was a piece of air dry clay - actually I think she looked quite nice with it on her head ;) - put there to make her hairdo looking bigger.:)

One of most important ideas by Dana in this kit was that dolls bottom should be a Jennifer Lopez-like so that the dress would look good on her. Not sure if I didn't make it too big, lol!

She could be a bride or a celebrity ;) so the lamp's ligh suits her well, I think. The stunning orchid in her hair is by dear Ilona - thank you once again!

No to jest skończona.
Nazywa się Annaliese i jest jednym z zestawów zaprojektowanych przez Danę Burton na tegoroczne międzynarodowe lekcje. Głowa - mold zrobiony przez jedną z moich ulubionych lalkarek Annemarie Kwikkel, ręce - mold Dawn Adam, makijaż - Dana Burton.
Ponieważ Dana zaznaczyła kiedyś, że lalka jest drobna i dla zachowania proporcji powinna mierzyć poniżej 14cm, mierzyłam ją przed sklejeniem dwukrotnie i oczywiście po sklejeniu w całość okazało się, że jest trochę wyższa...;)
To coś na głowie co mogliście obejrzeć ostatnio, to dodatek z glinki samowysychającej, taki trick żeby uzyskać sporych rozmiarów fryzurę.:)
Oryginalnie miała być panną młodą lub celebrytką, dlatego myślę, że sztuczne światło całkiem jej służy. Śliczny storczyk we włosach od Ilony.:)

My Little Pleasure. Moja mała przyjemność.

I have to thank Carol for reminding me about my little greenhouse not so long ago. Her comment made me thinking I should finish this really little project THIS YEAR!!;) I made a floor and steps and I have to admit I left it for many reasons. Some of them were serious, some not so much, I found this little glass house to be a bit troublesome. For example for a very long time I couldn’t find the right solution for unpainted pieces of glass. These “windows” were suppose to have a blind or at least a curtain and I couldn’t decide what it should have been and how it should have looked like because I wanted it to be a bit transparent too.

This week I found every and each solution for any problems of this greenhouse! And I finished it today!

So first things first: I wrote long time ago that this project title is “My Little Peasure”. Why? Well, more than year ago one of our famous beauty shop’s was selling before Christmas a little plastic bath tub with some soaps in it. The bath tub was 1:12 scale and quite transparent and on one of it’s sides there was a sentence, like this:

When I found the greenhouse I immediately thought it should be a place where I could use and put this plastic tub in. A place where someone could feel good and relax. This someone’s little pleasure, a peaceful oasis...So much about the title.;)



Here you see a bath tub ready to be placed in the greenhouse. I painted it with zinc acrylic paint outside, so in the inside the name of the project still is easy to see. I added a little pillow for comfort and a little towel which I sprayed with Mr. Super Clear(a mat seal used usually for painting BJD’s faces, but it also makes fabric a bit stiff and staying in shape one wants).

Again this project includes miniatures from Friends and Artisans just like this table. The table and the bottles on the shelf are gifts I won in Lainie’s give-away last year. I added a shelf (cardboard) and aged the table(this time for ageing I used golden acrylic paint – I really like the result:)), put a few towels too. The basket is from my dear Friend, Glenda Howell, who makes just perfect baskets for roses(and anything else too!). The bottles with soaps were bought from Jennifer of Looking Glass Miniatures. The soaps(real!!) on the bowls are a gift from Ira Martikainen(hope one day she will come back with her wonderful posts and miniatures – I miss her a lot:)). The bowls are made by me.

One of my already well known;) stools with a few towels(made by me) and a perfume bottle plus a box (aged by me)of beauty bottles -again a part of Lainie’s give-away – also ready to put in.




And there is one more very special gift I won in Margaret’s give-away(miss you too, dear Margaret!) also last year. This stunning chandelier already hanging in the greenhouse. The curtains in the “windows” also are hanging ready.



So here are quite a lot photos of My Little Pleasure!

And with someone that came to check if she fits there:



Can’t show you more of her as she is almost naked! LOL! She is one of my two dolls made by Annemarie Kwikkel very gifted Artisan and very dear Lady from Holland. You can see more of my doll on Annemarie’s site and I can show my doll’s sweet face to you here:


Special thanks go to:
Glenda of Peppercorn Minis
Jennifer of Looking Glass Miniatures
Lainie of Lainie's Little Things
Ira of Merry Jingle Crafts
Margaret of My Petit Parterre
And to for Carol of World Costume Dolls for reminding me about the greenhouse!

Hope you like my finally-finished-project!

Dzięki niedawnemu komentarzowi Carol udało mi się zmobilizować I zakończyć projekt My little Pleasure. Nazwa wzięła się od wanienki z mydełkami zakupionej przed którymiś Świętami Bożego Narodzenia w Rossmannie. Wanienka jest w skali 1:12 i na jednym z boków miała właśnie napis: Moja mała Przyjemność. Stąd nazwa projektu. Kiedy znalazłam tę małą szklarenkę wiedziałam od razu, że chcę w niej zmieścić plastykową wanienkę i że projekt powinien jakoś odpowiadać rossmannowej nazwie. Chciałam, żeby to było miejsce odosobnienia, ciszy i całkowitego relaksu, coś jak (przy)domowe Spa. Znów projekt „wspomogli” blogowi Przyjaciele i Artyści. Stolik, buteleczki na półce i buteleczka na taborecie to prezenty od Lainie, butelki z mydełkami są kupione u Jennifer, koszyk u Glendy, a mydła na miseczkach to prezenty od Iry. Jest jeszcze bardzo specjalny prezent – piękny żyrandol od Margaret, który sobie mogłam wybrać po wygraniu u niej give-awaya w zeszłym roku. Osobiście przerobiłam stolik od Lainie – dodałam półkę i postarzyłam całość, wszystkie ręczniki są robione przeze mnie, również miseczki(na których leżą mydełka), taboret no i przerobiłam wannę! Położyłam też podłogę, pomalowałam szklarenkę i zawiesiłam firanki w „oknach”. Panna która przymierza się do przydomowego Spa, to lalka którą na moje zamówienie parę lat temu zrobiła Annemarie Kwikkel, świetna Artystka i przemiła Osoba.
Mam nadzieję, że My Little Pleasure Wam się spodoba!
