Victorian suite

Hi Guys! I made a 1:12 scale miniature Victorian lounge suite complete with tiny table. Apologies for not completing a step-by-step for the beginning of the project, I simply forgot T.T

Essentially what I did was create a template for my design on paper and roll out thin strips of polymer clay and cut out each template before baking. I pre-baked each piece separately and the assembly as well as the arm rest pieces were completed at the same time, using liquid polymer to join each piece together.

After baking this is the progress so far...


I gave each piece a very light sanding to rough up the smooth, shiny surface and give a more realistic wood grain finish. Then i gave it a very light coat in paint primer. The primer I used is from citadel paints as it is nice and dark, showing up the darker undertones of the wood as well.


Here is the progress after the wood stain has been completed and the gold trims have been brushed.



I opted out of fabric as all I had in stock was of a low thread count. For tiny furniture such as this, high cotton thread count or non-fraying material is preferred to minimize the bulkiness. I think textured finish like this turned out nicely though. ^^







I will be putting these cute little pieces up for sale in the near future on etsy, so stay tuned!
