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,

Who's 'The Patient'?

Hello Everyone,

Hope you are all having a great week and that you are all doing well. Like always, I have been busy trying to keep up with two projects and working on new miniatures.

As a few of you already know I have been working on my latest project 'The Patient' which is the last room box to be added to the 'The Physician' and 'The Apothecary'. The three room boxes are being shared during the 'Life & Style' TV Show on the Maltese Channel NET TV.

As my first post on this project was quite vague, I had a couple of questions from you followers asking about 'The Patient'. "Who's the Patient?" "What's the patient all about?" "Will it be part of the Physician's clinic?"

So here I am to give you more details of who's the patient and the story line behind it all.

Dr. Keller the Physician has been quite busy during this Winter. It was almost time for him to call it a day before he went out to do his house visits. He only had two more patients to see and the last to be seen was Master Ben Hayward who happens to live in the same building. 

Dr. Keller was Ben's doctor since the day he was born. Mrs. Hayward was quite worried about her youngest son as he has been poorly for the past two days.

Mrs. Hayward

Dr. Keller examined Ben. He indeed looked pale, had a high temperature and was coughing. 

Master Ben

Making sure that Ben was in no danger, Dr. Keller informed Mrs. Hayward that her son caught the seasonal flu. Ben needed to stay in bed, keep warm, drink a lot of fluids and take his prescribed syrup.  He assured Mrs. Hayward that he will be back on his feet in a few days. He also promised that he will visit the boy in two days. 

As soon as Mrs. Hayward thanked the good doctor, and left, Ben was tucked up in his bed already looking better after his visit to his favorite doctor.

So as you can see 'The Patient' is the seven year old Ben who happened to get the flu and his bed room is right on top of the Physician's clinic. 

The lovely dolls were made by my friend and favorite doll maker Beverley Senatore. Thank you Beverley  for making my dolls houses look more alive. 

Will be sharing more of Ben's room very soon. so make sure to keep tuned for the next update on 'The Patient' project.

Take Care and See You Soon.

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,
