Jasika Nicole Instagram – My neighborhood besties @cyndiotteson and @quinnofeaglerock gifted me the cutest diy miniature room kit to put together last year, and I loved it so much I asked for a bigger kit for christmas, and at long last, only 9 months later 🥴, it’s finally done! This kit was like my personal equivalent of a 1,000 piece puzzle (though I’ve never done one so I don’t know how accurate that is). All I know is that it was extremely intense, required so much focus that I felt cross eyed at the end of some sessions, and required every bit of my concentration for long periods of time. However there were also so many moments of sheer delight along the way to completing this that it truly felt worth all the extra patience I mustered from the bowels of my being. I am so proud of myself! Bear got me an amazing magnifying craft light that was a tremendous help and allowed me to do really detailed work without straining my eyes too much (I also use it for my manis!) Every single thing in this greenhouse, with the exception of the wood framing pieces, beads and the “glass” roof, was cut out, pasted, sanded, shaped, built and glued together by hand. Those teeny flowers and petals, the shovel made out of a toothpick and paper, the garden hose and faucet, all created by hand. By the time I finished this I was so curious about the brains behind the designs! It’s truly remarkable work! I will definitely be taking a break from this intricate kind of craft for a while (I’ve got a beautiful crocheted lamp next up on my list!) but I would love to do another kit one day- @rolife_official has so many beautiful designs but I obviously wanna make the dressmaker’s boutique and one of the bakery/kitchen builds, too. Truly can’t explain how much delight this piece has given me, and now I think I might build some floating shelves to really show these pieces off! | Posted on 25/Aug/2023 08:46:43
