As a Filipino myself it was really heartbreaking to watch the news with thousands dead and hundreds of thousands more starving and here I am comfortably just sitting in my California home.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So for the past week, I have been working my ass off to create a special furniture set in order to raise more funds to donate. There's only so much my husband and I could monetary spare and I'm not the type to solicit money for free. So I thought why not just put my favorite skills to good use.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Since I made my <a href="http://dragondeemini.blogspot.com/2012/09/if-you-have-seen-my-previous-post-about.html" target="_blank">Chiavari chair prototype</a> last year, a lot of collectors have been asking me to make some to sell. I always say I'll make more one day, but the truth is I've been dreading to make more. This is because this chair is one of the hardest and most complicated miniature I've made so far. Naturally, I thought it would be the perfect piece to do for a charity drive. At first I was just planning to make 1 chair, but I ended up making a full set. I really poured all my heart into making this set. If I ever make more in the future, there's a big chance it might just stay in my personal collection. </span><br />

I would tell them I'll make some next month or the next, but something always comes up, either a personal or a work project. Not to mention I still have carpal tunnel that gets worse when I make miniature furniture, so as much as I like making miniatures I always dread having to start making them again. I thought since I haven't been making any minis for awhile now, why not find easy DIY ideas so other collectors could make it for themselves?</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have always been a fan of the site <a href="http://www.ikeahackers.net/" target="_blank">IKEA Hackers</a>, so whenever I go to IKEA (or even other stores) </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">I'm always on the look out for materials I could repurpose into something else. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">Last week a friend and I went to IKEA to look for materials we could use to make a dollhouse (you read that right ^^). Unfortunately, we didn't find anything that suits the dollhouse design we have in mind. :( We did however found these Blanda Matt bowls that had a really round bottom. Usually bowls are flat underneath to make it more stable, but these Blanda bowls were really round with just a small flat part. I thought this would be perfect for an egg chair! I got one 8" Blanda bowl and one 5". </span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">The base for the chair is the base for the IKEA Tolsby picture frame. Then I sewed a 7"diameter round cushion and tufted it by sewing mini buttons on it. The legs for the table are ends of round wooden chopsticks.</span></span></span><br />

Everyone thought the Huset won't be out until Aug so I was really shocked when I saw my friend's post. Luckily, I live close to an IKEA. I called them to confirm if they had it in stock. Then I went there that afternoon to get a couple of sets.<br />
<br />
I've only really read one article about the IKEA Huset before and for some reason I assumed they were going to be 1:12 scale. It was a pleasant surprise for me to learn that they were around the 1:8 scale. Perfect size for my Pure Neemo Dolls, which I'm being obsessed with these days. The quality of the plastic used was pretty impressive. I'm not crazy about the colors, specially with the pink couch, but I do have to remember that these were created for kids and not for adult collectors. ;P With all things considered, for $13, it's a really nice set to add to your collection. I would recommend buying 2 sets though instead of just one.<br />

When I got home from IKEA I called my doll photographer friend <a href="https://www.facebook.com/dollpics" target="_blank">Sharon Wright</a> to come over and play.<br />
<br />
...and p<span style="text-align: center;">lay we did.</span><br />

The Huset comes with one Expedit shelf, one Vago chair, one Lack table, one Klippan sofa, a Stockholm rug and a Famnig Hjarta pillow. I combined two sets for this set up (one pink couch and heart pillows not in the pictures).<br />

Lol!Presenting my new product line....*drum roll*........Dragondee throw pillows!! Yey! They are not just ordinary throw pillows mind you! They have a special filling that lets you shape the pillows a little and make those designer's crimp or karate chops on top. But wait there's more! They now have miniature tags too!! :) Wooooooooooooooooooooooo~<br />
<br />
Ok, enough of my effort in trying to make my pillows sound fantabulous. I apologize for being such a dork. ;P But yes, I did put a different filling in the pillows just to make them a little more pliable compared to my fiber filled stiff pillows before. I also added the small tags to make them look more realistic. I love small details and was just so proud of myself when I thought of making those tags. Lol.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's a picture of my first prototypes.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And a picture of the tiny tag I made. You can't barely see the Dragondee written on it, but I think it makes the pillow cute nonetheless. Don't you think? :)</div>

Fortunately for me, my dear friend Bobby Taylor recently opened his <a href="http://pinkbubblesdollspa.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Pink Bubbles Doll Spa</a>! I was so happy when I found out that he offers re-rooting. So off to the spa my girls went!<br />
<br />
They recently just came back home and I was astonished with how pretty they came out. Check out their pics.<br />

Other than re-roots, Bobby Taylor is a miracle worker too. He has brought back the beauty on many vintage dolls. See more of his amazing dolly makeovers on <a href="http://pinkbubblesdollspa.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">his blog</a> and check out his other services. :) </div>

I made this stop motion animation video last year and uploaded it in my <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/leneux8" target="_blank">Flickr</a> and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Modern-Miniatures-by-Dragondee/137434054775" target="_blank">Facebook Page </a>but forgot to make a post about it here in the blog.</div>

I was so fascinated with the wardrobe chest I got from the 2012 Barbie Convention that I thought it would be perfect to use in a wedding-like video for Momoko. </div>

We fell so in love with it that we thought we should make our own. :)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Chiavari chair in the Mattel sets were molded and casted. Something I've always wanted to do, but haven't had the budget to do so. My past attempt failed miserably bringing $40 worth of materials down the drain. My pocket is just not ready to try it again when I haven't figured out how to do it properly. So I decided to just make the chair out of wood as usual. The turnings I got were perfect to create the other type of Chiavari chair design. I used the design that is commonly used now in weddings and special events. Mine came out looking more ornate than the real one because of the turnings I used, but I still love how it turned out.</span></div>

After all, it's rare to see setups like these in playscale size. The sets were used in making videos to launch Robert Best's Barbie Fashion Model Collection line.<br />
<br />
During the convention, Robert Best's team gave a talk about the videos created for the doll line. I was so happy to get the chance to meet Lars Auvinen - the creative genius who designed and created the sets. ^_^<br />
<br />
Here are the pics for you to drool at.. ^^<br />

Although, I am still not sure how often I'll be able to work on the miniatures. My husband and I moved in his Grandma's 70 year old house just last Christmas. So, other than my graphic design projects I've also been preoccupied with arranging and fixing up an "antique" house. Not the easiest of things to do if I may say. (Specially when you're on a budget.) ;)<br />
<br />
So anyway, back to miniatures.<br />
<br />
To get me in the crafting groove again. I decided to start with making the small accessories. I usually start with those as they are easier and more relaxing to do than the furniture. Last year I created some <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/leneux8/5644550802/in/photostream" target="_blank">miniature Dwell and Martha Stewart magazines </a>with matching <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/leneux8/5644549874/in/photostream" target="_blank">magazine organizers</a>. This year I thought why not make my own magazine designs?<br />
<br />
So that's what I did.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IGc57oqkX0E/T6y_PhgqQPI/AAAAAAAAAKk/WE5tMBupyEI/s1600/IMG_9330.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IGc57oqkX0E/T6y_PhgqQPI/AAAAAAAAAKk/WE5tMBupyEI/s640/IMG_9330.jpg" width="425" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-QXok8OvzGuI/T6y_p4M2gUI/AAAAAAAAALc/w1SSy-607Jg/s1600/IMG_9406.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-QXok8OvzGuI/T6y_p4M2gUI/AAAAAAAAALc/w1SSy-607Jg/s640/IMG_9406.jpg" width="425" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All the pictures used on the magazine designs were taken by me. As many of you may not know I specialize in packaging / label design and have always loved taking pictures of foods to sometimes use in my projects. I am not the best of photographers nor am I a food stylist, but I have developed a passion for it and have been self studying whenever I can. The food pictures you see in the mini YumYum magazines are the most recent and favorite shots I've taken so far. I have gotten these magazines printed on gloss paper which the pics don't really show that much.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QpThkTL0nlg/T6y_yafoxFI/AAAAAAAAALk/ZfDVF2fFrKo/s1600/IMG_9419.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QpThkTL0nlg/T6y_yafoxFI/AAAAAAAAALk/ZfDVF2fFrKo/s400/IMG_9419.jpg" width="266" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #eeeeee; font-size: x-small;">This picture gives a peek of what the back of the magazines look like.</span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Of course the magazine set will not be complete without the miniature organizers. I managed to find a supplier for the mini metal label frames. It took me more than a month to get them, but it was all worth waiting for.</div>

I was planning to list a few sets in Etsy but the first 8 sets I allotted to sell sold out before I had a chance to list them. Which was good since I got to sell them a few dollars cheaper since I didn't have to pay for Etsy fees. ^_^</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

There were again tons of prices and giveaways and non-stop fun and laughter the whole day. Robin has outdone herself again! Also during the meeting, my good friend Caroline Swing made an excellent demonstration on how to repaint Re-ments and I had another miniature craft presentation. :)<br />
<br />
The theme for the event was 'Kawaii' - the Japanese for 'Cute'. ^^ I realized from the last meeting that not all participants are crafters, so I opted for a no glue and no scissor cutting kind of craft. Which led me to making an origami project with a twist.<br />
<br />
I decided to make use of Lucky Stars. Lucky stars are folded strips of paper shaped into a star that you can put in jars and make a wish when you've made 100 or 1000 pcs. It is said to bring you goodluck. Although some people think the 'quality' of your wish varies from the quantity you make. ;P<br />
<br />
Anyhow, back to our tutorial, I turned the lucky stars into a kawaii mini decor. I guess it's something you don't really see in real life, but it is kawaii nonetheless. ^^ It kinda reminds me of those bouquet or balloon gift arrangements. Here is a sample picture of the craft I had the Re-ment addicts make yesterday.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For the First Step of course, you need to prepare your materials. I created kits again for the presentation and the picture below shows what's inside a kit. It is composed of fairly simple materials that you can find anywhere.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-34xndIOqqr8/TpIM2pHzJHI/AAAAAAAAAIo/u7QKRxTmZPg/s1600/IMG_2095.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-34xndIOqqr8/TpIM2pHzJHI/AAAAAAAAAIo/u7QKRxTmZPg/s400/IMG_2095.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A. The paper strips are pre-cut and can be bought in Japanese stationary stores or online. You can buy them for like 99cents for a 100pcs or something, or you can just make your own by cutting scrapbook paper, gift wrappers, etc.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
B. The candy looking thing is actually just a piece of clay that I wrapped so it wouldn't damage the paper strips incase it bleeds oil in the kit.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
C. The small plastic cup is actually tattoo ink cups that I just got from Ebay for really cheap. I found the #16 size to be the perfect size for this project. You can also use other miniature containers you can find or even bottle caps.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
D. The small sticks are just toothpicks. The blue string is a plastic ribbon.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here is the video of the tutorial.</div>

I just thought of finally posting this tutorial online. I originally created it on power point as a short craft workshop/presentation for the Re-ment Fan Club Meeting last March. I made small craft kits for everyone, so they can make their own mini notebooks as I walk them through the tutorial during my presentation.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Here is my staff creating the kits. ^_^</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I turned the presentation into a movie clip, but sorry it doesn't have words. I thought it would at least give an idea on how this little notebook is made. I guess I should call it a demonstration rather than a tutorial huh? Is there really a difference?<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pr-aXdbiPwk/ToFaHmSSnPI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/61R7ZJR8AuY/s1600/IMG_1516.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="242" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-pr-aXdbiPwk/ToFaHmSSnPI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/61R7ZJR8AuY/s320/IMG_1516.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is a picture of the materials. You can make it any size you wish. The DISTANCE GUIDE is any material that's around 2mm thick. I included it just so people would have an idea on how far away the card stocks should be from each other. You can just eyeball the distance if you like.<br />
<br />
For the <b>card stock</b> I actually used a bristol board, but you can always recycle cereal boxes or other 0.5-1mm thick cardboard you can find. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I use <b>wood glue</b> most of the time as it dries a little faster than ordinary glue. Since it dries faster, the less the paper absorbs it, the less wrinkle it creates.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--5NZjuowRIQ/ToFcLbobj5I/AAAAAAAAAIY/edaa3XBVEJo/s1600/materials.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="267" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/--5NZjuowRIQ/ToFcLbobj5I/AAAAAAAAAIY/edaa3XBVEJo/s400/materials.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I chose to use Washi paper since you can never go wrong with washi, but you can use any pretty paper you want. Just try to use less glue if you're using ordinary paper as the glue will wrinkle the paper (which is rarely a problem with washi paper).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I promised a friend awhile ago that I'll trade with her but it has been put on hold as I haven't been making miniatures regularly. So finally, I just decided to trade this 3rd set that I finished.<br />
<br />
As you probably have noticed, I am a fan of white furniture. Even my work station at home is all white. There's just something about it that makes your mind feel fresh and serene. I believe white also makes clutter look minimal and I love small knick-knacks in real life and in miniature. :)<br />

I knew it was going to be tedious work to make it in miniature, but I just had to make one. It was modern but kinda <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/DragonDee?ref=pr_shop">"Etsy-ish". </a>Which is the style I'm fascinated with at the moment. I ended up making 2 sections on the sofa instead of 3. Later on I'll probably make a 3 section for my own personal collection.<br />
<br />
Here is a picture of the original Patch Work Sofa (not my picture)<br />

<br />
However, making the look of the room was not easy. The different patterns on the sofa was quite a challenge to pair with walls and other accessories and make it look eye pleasing for the pictorial. No matter what I did, it felt like there was something missing. Luckily, I remembered <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoshitomo_Nara">Yoshitomo Nara's</a> artworks and thought it would be perfect to complete the look! ^_^<br />

Actually I've made the wood parts awhile ago, but I've been busy with some graphic projects that it took awhile to complete these sets. 2 of the Sets are going to be listed in my <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/DragonDee?ref=pr_shop">Etsy Shop</a> this week. 1 set is for trading with a friend. I'm getting a Lati Yellow from her! Weee! New addition to my QC team. ^^<br />
<br />
Without further ado. Here are the new Loft pics!<br />

Chances are if I post a Set in Flickr I'd be listing it in Etsy soon. ;)<br />

The computer monitor is patterned from the Apple Cinema Display Monitor and is my first prototype. I didn't make a keyboard but I did include some cube speakers that is now one of my fav pieces. :)<br />
<br />
<br />
I also made another set of Reading Area with cube shelves. But it also has been sold just a few mins ago. The first Reading Area set from my other post is still available in the shop. ^_^ Get it now while you can! I don't really have anymore plastic chairs to upholster, so I dunno if I can make more of those.<br />
<br />
<br />
Here are some pics of the 2nd Set...<br />

I still have one in stock and I decided to turn it into a desk set to list in my <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/DragonDee?ref=pr_shop_more">Etsy Store</a>. I wanted to include a book or two in the set but I ended up mass producing a few. Lol. It was just so addicting seeing all the mini books all stacked up. I couldn't resist not to take pics of them on a book shelf.<br />

Yey! :) Well, actually, I made the kitchen first. hehehe. It took about 3 weeks to complete which includes a few days of going around and hunting for materials to use. I'm keeping this kitchen for myself as a prototype though. I still need to figure out how to make it cost effective for my buyers. The labor and material costs would just be way too high to put out in the market.<br />

Lol. Doing this set also confirmed that my personal style tends to integrate modern furniture with organic furnishings. I just love that homey-earthy-feel incorporated with modern styles as opposed to minimalist modern. :)
