Part 3 - Decorating 'The Patient' and Completing the Project on 'Life & Style'

Hello Everyone,

How are you all? Hope you are all well. It has been a while since I updated my blog. I was quite busy before travelling to the Dolls House Nederland Show in Arnhem. But here I am again among my miniatures and today I will be sharing with you the last part of 'The Patient' project which completes the whole project. I have shared this a few weeks ago on the 'Life & Style' TV Show on the Maltese Channel NET TV.

The Patient

The room was quite ready to start being decorated. I had added all the trimmings against the wall with the new fireplace and now it was time for the furniture pieces and accessories.

I have worked on the wardrobe and as it was a little boy's room I kept to the theme with the galleons. 

Apart from the wardrobe I also added the washstand table which has delft blue tiles and added a few accessories accordingly.

Master Ben had his cast iron bed, built and decorated to keep him warm and comfortable. 

A few toys were added which have been hand painted by my dad. 

The day came that I took the project and shared it on the show with the presenter Charles Saliba.

You can see the clips from my You Tube Channel or below. 

Here are a few photos of the project 'The Patient'

As most of you know 'The Patient' project is part of 'The Physician' and the 'Cures & Remedies Apothecary' which now is complete and will be part of my Regent Street.

Hope you like what I have done with this project. I have to say I am very happy with the outcome. I will continue working on my Pembroke Grange but will also start a new project for the show which will be a renovation of a 1:24 scale dolls house. 

Make sure to keep tuned for the next update. Take Care and See You Soon,

The Patient; Ben's Bedroom - Part 2 on 'Life & Style'

Hello Everyone,

Hope you all had a great weekend. I have to say, I have been very productive during the past few days. I have managed to work on my two ongoing projects, prepared some orders for supplies that I need, I also worked on a few miniatures for my clients, today I rearranged the houses in Regent Street and prepared all the necessary items for tomorrow's Life & Style TV Show. I have to say I am quite pleased with myself. 

Today I will share with you the progress on Master's Ben bedroom which now most of you know is 'The Patient' in my project.

I started off by adding the floor and wall paper for this bedroom. Even though it's a little boy's room, I didn't want it with shades of baby's blues or looking like a nursery. I kept it simple and still ideal for a kid, so I choose sailing galleons. Apparently Ben likes ships.

Once that was ready I started working on the fireplace and it's surrounding.  I have made the fireplace using my 3D printer and then painted it. 

Once that was done. I started having a few ideas of what furniture pieces I wanted to add to the room so it could give me a better picture of where to fit the door at the back wall. I like adding these false doors. For some reason it give the whole property more depth.

I was quite happy with the outcome and even if it is a small room, it was just perfect for a kid's bedroom. 

The time came that I had to share my progress on 'Life & Style' TV show with the presenter Charles Saliba. 

Here are the video clips to see the progress of the project during the show. 

There is always time for that one photo of Charles and I at the Studio. 

And here is how the room looks like so far. 

Ben is doing well. He is recovering from his flu but like all flues it does take its course. The poor boy is getting bored so his mother Mrs. Hayward went to The Dickens Book Shop to borrow some books for him. Mr. Dickens found some nice story books that he was sure that Ben would enjoy. 

I hope you like what I have done so far. Tomorrow I will be back on the show with the complete bedroom which will also complete the whole project. Make sure to keep tuned for the new updates.

Take Care and See You Soon.

Hugs,

'The Patient' New Project for 'Life & Style'

Hello Everyone,

Here I am once again. Hope you are all having a great week. It has been a while since I shared my ongoing projects. A few weeks ago I got to share the start of my new project called 'The Patient'. This is the final room box which will be part of  the 'Cures & Remedies' Apothecary - Druggist and 'The Physician'. 

I have designed the room box to make it in the shape of a roof to go on top the rest of the building

The roof is slanting and I have added a dormer window to the front.

I added the roof slates and to make the roof batons I used bamboo skewers.

The day came that I had to share the start of this room box on 'Life & Style' TV Show on the Maltese Channel NET TV. I completed the outside of the project live during the show. During the show I continued tiling the slates, painted the roof and added a few weathering details to the whole thing. 

Here you can see the slots during the progress of the project at the show.

Like always Charles Saliba presents the show and gets to share the project with me with the audience. 

The room box fitted nicely on the rest of the project. 

This is all for today. I hope you will find this project interesting. I have still lots to share about this project and Pembroke Grange which I am still working on during the weekends. Make sure to keep tuned for the next updates.

Take Care and See You Soon.

Hugs,

Completing 'The Physician' - Part 3 on Life & Style

Hello Everyone,

Hope you are all having a great weekend. It's been quite busy here as always.

A fortnight ago, I am pleased to say that I completed 'The Physician' project and I am so happy how it turned out.

I have added some new additions to 'The Physician' that makes it look extra special and extra realistic.

One of my hand made miniatures that I made was the doctor's scales and I am really thrilled how it turned out. I used all sorts of things to makes this; from cardboard to metal pieces. 

The Doctor's Scales

Another piece that I built from a kit and painted was the Victorian radiator which has fitted nicely in the room.

Just before Christmas I received a wonderful gift from my dearest friend and fellow miniaturist José Pereira Torrejón. He sculptured a skull and made a miniature journal with his sketches to put on the doctor's desk.  You can also visit his Rust and Steel Miniatures Blog to see more detailed pictures.

I have decorated the desk with some of my mini prints and a 3D printed bust of Dr. Charles Darwin.

Additional to that, José also gifted me with this beautiful miniature wheel chair which was made by the Dutch Artist Mr. Han Goergen. Such a beautiful piece. I had the pleasure to meet Mr. Han Goergen last year in March when I went to the DHNS in Arnhem.

 Mr. Goergen was also kind enough to send me a small gift of his own which are the pair of miniature crutches to go with the wheel chair. 

From here I would like to thank José and Mr. Han Goergen for these wonderful miniatures. They have fitted perfectly in the room.

I decorated the wall with a shelf that I made and added a few books and jars to it. On the same wall you will find Victorian Anatomy illustrations that I printed as well.

 Right above the desk I added two printed framed canvases. One has a portrait of a young Charles Darwin painted by Richmond George in 1840. and the other is a painting by Rembrandt called The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicholaes Tulp dated 1632.

The book shelf was moved at the back so the inside details can be seen better.

Finally our handsome doctor came to his clinic. Dr Keller. Another wonderful doll made by my dear friend and doll maker Beverely Senatore. 

The time came when I had to share the complete project with presenter Charles Saliba on the 'Life & Style' Tv Show on the Maltese Channel NET TV. 

Here are the TV clips where I share the progress of this project.

Here are some photos of the complete room.

As 'The Physician' is the second part of the whole project, it was time for it to go in its place, right on top of the Apothecary - Druggist 'Cures & Remedies'.

I hope you like what I have done so far. Tomorrow I will be sharing the start of the new room on 'Life & Style' TV show, which will go right on top of 'The Physician' project. The new project will be called 'The Patient'.  Make sure to keep tuned for the next updates.

Take Care & See You Soon.

Hugs,
