Tobirama's Study & other small things

main @dahtwitchi WIP log for a completely nonsensible project of creating a study for Tobirama in 1:16 scale.

Fimo clay shaped in silicon mould. Some pigments from pastel crayons and eye shadows. Afterwork with cheap acrylics.

I need me some gesso, so bad.

[dillyminiatures]

Last three days of tinytober put together. I saturated a paper with markers and tired my hand out punching leaves :3

The pumpkins and squashes I painted yesterday (and oh NO the biggest and my favourite of the pumpkins I made? I dropped it on the floor and I have not found it!!???? Arfhgll! The pain of miniature making t.t)

[dillyminiatures]

I guess it is seasonal, some airdrying clay for this tinytober session.

[dillyminiatures]

Trimming and sanding down before painting.

[dillyminiatures]

Painty painty times!

Let's see if I get it right before there are too many layers of paint x'D

More tinytober.

My poor fingers, trying to make this, and it isn't even that tiny. I think I'll not bother trying to make teeny tiny granny squares, for the sake of my hands x'D

Also. I think I need lotion my hands, they begin look dry now that the cold is coming in x'3

[dillyminiatures]

Tiny paintings for tinytober and tiny walls~ mostly watercolours, some gouache, on satin finish watercolour paper.

More and less success, I'd say x'D and a very very satisfying tape pull :'3

I think I'll actually have some plans for next time I paint and not try to come up with whatever during the process x'D

[dillyminiatures]

I keep forgetting to update my tinytober x3 this chair have come along a tiny bit more each day. I don't know what I'm doing, just handwaving it and have now come to the point of oh no, wait, I'll need legs! Dammit how/what do now???? X'D

[dillyminiatures]

Storage shelf unit made from bulk stirring sticks, glue and a touch-up marker for furniture. Put into my little loft room :3 some clutter from a while ago, plus a plant and terracotta pots from this tinytober.

Tinytober~

A project that's been around untouched for a good while. Dusting off the roof, and finally glueing more of the beams and roof, using one of my absolutely favourite paper clamps :3 (yes, I'm one of those ridiculously satisfied with things having the text of what they are, contain, or do, on them x3)

Hopefully before this tinytober is over, this room will finally be finished :3

[dillyminiatures]

Did some more on it. Finishing trim goes straight for contentment in my soul. It have had that raw edge which I felt mwrfghl about for ages. I finally did it. I want to be cat purring in sunlight, just to express the type of emotion I'm experiencing.

Tinytober experimentation time! :D

Trying to figure out how to make a decent actual functional rigid heddle with easy to get materials for me. After a lot of pondering and talking with friendlies, I realised I have shrink plastic, and have tinkered about a bit. Two fails, and one possibly acceptable. Might need to re-do... but. I have something.

Before and after heating.

The two fail-ish ones (the reeds going too many directions, mainly xp), plus my lovely tiny drill which I am very irrationally fond of :'3

[dillyminiatures]

Another plant-based tinytober thing. Coloured reindeer moss, some leaves on sticks I had in my stash, and sticking them together with glue. It'll be a nice vertical/sloping little item :3

The bright stalks always had me think the leaves didn't look good, and they've been left in a box for ages. They fit very well into the bright moss, though! Looks better than I expected, even :3

[dillyminiatures]

Let's do some tinytober this year!

Starting off with some leaf cutting and arranging.

[dillyminiatures]

I have put leaves from day 2 on sticks for my third tinytober day.

The sticks are just brown or green tissue paper glued and rolled into stick-y shapes.

Have to experiment with other paper in my leaf cutter, though, Either the cutter isn't sharp enough, or the paper need to be a specific type to handle being cut so small. Because the ones I cut yesterday are so frayed at the edges t.t

[dillyminiatures]

I thought I was real clever, trying to build pots around that flower arranging stuff u can stick stalks into (what is the English???). Went so-so. Either the clay (airdrying das clay) doesn't work that well for these tiny, or it's become too dry, or I'm just somehow not doing very good x'p I think it is... my fourth time? I had imagined it'd be much easier to build around something, but not that much tbh x'p we shall see when dried how it goes.

[dillyminiatures]

The light works! I was a bit worried the assembly wouldn't be functional. Both because I'm unreasonably nervous about even low volt like this, and because himbo cat ate half the cables x'p

Not much left to do, now :'3
