house

Here's a little set-up I created over the last few weeks, kind of an extension of the dioramas I've been doing.

I purchased a quarter scale dollhouse kit on eBay - "quarter scale" means a foot in real life is represented as a quarter inch in the dollhouse world (the house is about 6 or 7 inches tall). I modified it to my specs, bought some cheap plastic furniture in the same scale, then created little residents.

After making the Big! Toy! I wanted to make some very small figures, so I could easily arrange them in domestic situations and photograph them. Of course, photographing a very tiny figure in a very tiny room is nearly as difficult in its own way as photographing a 4.5-foot-tall floppy figure. I'm looking forward to making new figures (and houses?) for this project.

I've also been knitting sweaters. I kind of can't stop.
