Delf Blue and Vermeer

 Hello Everyone,

I hope you are all well. As the Dolls House Nederland Show is a week away, the excitement is growing more and the last few bits and pieces are almost done.

The books 'Designing and Decorating a Period Dolls' House' are already packed and most of the miniatures are set.

One miniature that I have very close to my heart and that I have just finished a couple of days ago is a miniature bust of The Girl with a Pearl Earring Bust.

As you all know Delft in The Netherlands has always been my favourite city. I love the architecture, the buildings, the history and it's Arts. I love the Delft Blue the most and so much so I had made a room box of this back in March 2023 and was featured with an article and front cover on the Dolls' House Nederland Magazine. 

Considering everything, such as Dollshous Nederland, Delft blue, the city of Delft and it's arts, Vermeer comes to mind, and one of my favourite paintings would be the Girl with a Pearl Earring. So here is the miniature Bust of the girl painted in Delf blue colours.  It's like I combined the few aspects that I love in this miniature just in time before the Show. I made just a few busts of her which will also be available during the launch on my stand at the DHN Show on the 5th and 6th October 2024.

I think she turned out very well and I have added her to my room box to mark the special occasion of the launch.

So this is all for today. I hope you like her as much as I have. Make sure to keep tuned for the next updates and latest news.

Take Care and See you Soon.

Hugs,

The Delft Blue Project

Hello Everyone,

How are you? Hope you are well. I have been busy like always but I am very happy to say that I have completed a new room box which I called "The Delft Blue Project".

My beautiful Delft in The Netherlands. The medieval city of Vermeer. I fell in love with the city of Delft the second I saw it. I love the streets, the history, the buildings, the canals, the shops and obviously the Delft blue porcelain.  Every time I visit The Netherlands, I always try to visit Delft. If I had to move to The Netherlands, Delft is the place that I would want to live in.

Through out the years, when I visit Delft I always get Delft blue miniatures for my dollshouses or just for keep sakes.

The little miniatures inspired me to do a Delft Blue room box.

I had this cute room box which a dear friend gave to me a few years ago.

I have painted it, printed a Delft blue flooring and wall paper and also changed the little knob of the drawer.

I worked on a few miniature furniture pieces to compliment the room box. The little lamp shade was also customized to fit in the project.

I have collected some nice pieces from Delft and one of my favorites is the tiny figurine of the Children kissing. I also love the mama cat with her kitten.

I made a few Delft Blue ceramics which originally are from the Royal Delft. 

I enjoyed doing this project as it came so natural do.

Here are some pictures of the complete project.

I have to say I am very proud of it and the nice thing about it is that every time I go to Delft and get a miniature, I can always add it to this project.

I hope you like what I have done.

This is all for today, make sure to keep tuned for the next updates and news.

Take Care and See You Soon.

Hugs,
