Currently my hobbies are less about collecting Sylvanians & more about knitting/spinning/crocheting. You can find me on Instagram as @chrispe82<br />
I do still enjoy my Sylvanian Families collection, & I intend to add a few more families to my village, including the Maple cats, new Persian cats & Alpaca families.<br />
<br />
Wishing you all well.Chris’s Crispey Creationshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15855468605886110488noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8674341950921968664.post-3168199462276951692018-11-22T23:52:00.000-08:002018-11-22T23:52:00.283-08:00Joanne in the countryside Joanne was out enjoying the countryside today.<br />

I know it has been quite some time since anyone has heard from me, but now I write with great news! Joanne the travelling Sylvanian is here for a couple of weeks. <br />
<br />
<br />
Joanne was met by her cousin Wirra Kaurna (pronounced Gana), who took her to meet The Billabong family, Wirra's adopted parents & where Joanne would be living during her stay in Slydale Hollow. The Billabong's live in a communal tree dwelling with the Outback koala family & the Totto monkey family.<br />

When set up was done the girls wanted to take Joanne to explore more of Slydale Hollow, so they went to their mum to ask if they could.<br />
"Of course you can go & show Joanne around! Why don't you start with the Slydale's caravan?" Mrs.Billabong said<br />
"YAY" shouted the girls & off they went.<br />

After a long day of meeting new people & exploring Joanne bounced into her bellroll/SWAG excited for the coming days, but also a little homesick. thinking thoughts like "my family would have loved it here."' & "I do miss my family a bit"<br />
<br />
<br />
Mrs.Billabong came to tuck the girls in & kiss them goodnight.<br />
"Joanne, I don't know how much you know about native Australian culture, but here at bedtime it's customary for the grownups to tell the children stories of the <strong><em><u>Dreamtime</u></em></strong>, stories that our ancestors told their children. So now I'm going to tell you some..." <br />
That night Joanne fell asleep to stories about koalas, rainbow serpents, giant frogs & other Australian creatures...<br />

Opal Babblebrook & her Aunt Lilly Bobtail accompanied us to the show & helped us find & pick out some miniatures to take home. I have a feeling these rabbits were thinking mostly about what Rocky & Crystal needed when picking things... oh & we found some new fabrics for the Brambles to use, trying to persuade them to steer away from the satins & silks popular so in town...</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This week I bought a second hand Cedar Terrace, a building I have been wanting for quite some time. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I decided to compare the new Town series building to it & see how different they are. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<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;">
The first 2 floors are nearly the same height, but the 3rd/ top of the town building is slightly higher.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yvQ4f4rKp6Y/WnT03EJP-zI/AAAAAAAATrc/EboOwhx3zeMSr0753OKnw2bY6wzB9sfpwCLcBGAs/s1600/P1010003%2B%25282%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-yvQ4f4rKp6Y/WnT03EJP-zI/AAAAAAAATrc/EboOwhx3zeMSr0753OKnw2bY6wzB9sfpwCLcBGAs/s320/P1010003%2B%25282%2529.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
adding a third floor to the Town building makes it considerably higher!</div>
<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;">
Another difference I noticed is that although the Cozy/Daisy/Sycamore cottage sits perfectly on top of 2 town buildings (or the department store when it is closed over) the Cedar Terrace is actually a little wider & hangs over. I was surprised by this as the Cedar Terrace is supposed to be connectable with all the buildings that the Cozy Cottage is (I assumed they were the same base width) </div>

In all I'm still very happy with this building, & am now trying to decide if I want to customize/paint & decorate it. And for those wondering of the new Town series will fit in with the current collection (Beechwood Hall, Cozy Cottage, Cedar Terrace etc..) I think that they look rather good together & I cannot wait to get more of the new Town Series myself!</div>

(by the way I forgot to take pictures, but the Town series buildings are half the room width of Cedar Terrace & Cozy Cottage. For those who were wondering.)</div>

While it may look like it takes up quite a bit of room, it's actually no bigger than 2 Beechwood halls together.</div>

The ornate detail on these items is exquisite! I haven't taken close up photos yet, but I hope to do so in the near future. Also I have ordered the JP Collectors club exclusive brown/chocolate buildings from Kobee-japan on ebay. They should be here in a few weeks & I hope to show them to you soon too. </div>

The past few weekends I have been working on a rocky outcrop for my lighthouse. Unfortunately I don;t have photos of the whole process, but I will describe what I did & then show what photos I do have.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b style="text-align: left;"><u>1.Cardboard frame</u></b><span style="text-align: left;">. Glue sturdy cardboard (mine is a recycled box) into the frame shape you want. I used a glue gun, but you can use PVA glue if that what you have.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<u style="font-weight: bold; text-align: left;">2. Build sides</u><span style="text-align: left;">. I scrunched up pages of newspaper into balls & glued them on to the side of the frame, I made the layers thicker at the bottom as I wanted a hill shape. Then I glued a couple of flat newpaper pages over the top of the whole lot.</span><div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3WtJg9qxefs/WTaZvOUALHI/AAAAAAAAKBM/2BjKXeefT7YbbVQY8KP7GGEgC6Zry0hWACKgB/s1600/IMG_3785.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="240" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3WtJg9qxefs/WTaZvOUALHI/AAAAAAAAKBM/2BjKXeefT7YbbVQY8KP7GGEgC6Zry0hWACKgB/s1600/IMG_3785.JPG" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /><br /><u style="font-weight: bold; text-align: left;">3. Paste.</u><span style="text-align: left;"> I mixed a paste of : 1 cup wheat flour, 1 cup water, a pinch of salt. You can use papermache paste of you like. I spread this in a moderately thick layer over the top of the newspaper until all of it was covered & damp. You must let this dry fully, which would be at least 24 hours, longer is better. If you have paste left over place it in an airtight container & save it for the next step.</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<u style="font-weight: bold;">4. Cover</u>. For this next layer I used a type of butchers paper (moderately thin, & wide pieces) I saved these pieces from my last batch of chips from the Fish & Chip shop. Place them over the top of your frame & then paste using the same method as before. Let it dry fully once again. If you don't have a single piece big enough to fully cover your structure, use multiple pieces, but let them each dry before putting the next one on. Repeat this step as necessary.<br /><span style="text-align: left;"><div>
<br /></div>
</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cHOHM9IFGpQ/WTaZvMQq53I/AAAAAAAAKBM/y3RczpYJC4IECKziTZXdcMdsPiA6JXz0gCKgB/s1600/IMG_3789.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="240" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cHOHM9IFGpQ/WTaZvMQq53I/AAAAAAAAKBM/y3RczpYJC4IECKziTZXdcMdsPiA6JXz0gCKgB/s1600/IMG_3789.JPG" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<u style="font-weight: bold;">5. Paint.</u> Using your chosen colours paint your structure. As then is a rocky island I used a grey water based paint & brushed over it lightly allowing some of the paste to show through for effect. Be careful using the water based paint though as too much will cause your paste to loosen. I had to allow this to dry for over 24 hours to be sure the paste & paint both were dry & stable. </div>
<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;">
Using this method you can create many structures like hills, rocks, a burrow for rabbits or moles, or even a hobbit hole I guess.</div>

In my last post I forgot to add the dimensions of the building. Well here they are! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is 26cm long, 15cm high & 10cm deep.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
not very big at all.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is about half as high as the current cosy/starter cottage</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1T1GG6SoU5g/WSUwfIsZOhI/AAAAAAAABO4/7ZQbH6ts-SUfBEylf-aniHLzYlLil38IgCKgB/s1600/IMG_3763.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="240" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-1T1GG6SoU5g/WSUwfIsZOhI/AAAAAAAABO4/7ZQbH6ts-SUfBEylf-aniHLzYlLil38IgCKgB/s320/IMG_3763.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but as you can see it is still the same width </div>
<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;">
& it looks about half the depth</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4Ta3vxtSr3g/WSUwfGDppHI/AAAAAAAABO4/MtifeBgz8FgtpT7ypUqlW56F3EUNeZPQgCKgB/s1600/IMG_3761.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1036" data-original-width="1600" height="207" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4Ta3vxtSr3g/WSUwfGDppHI/AAAAAAAABO4/MtifeBgz8FgtpT7ypUqlW56F3EUNeZPQgCKgB/s320/IMG_3761.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also I had some people ask about the furniture set up, which is quite tricky!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are some of my photos of different ways of setting it up</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first is my favourite.</div>

As you can see the sofa is a bit big for this little room & you have to get creative otherwise it blocks the door. When it is used for a child that wouldn't be so much of a problem, but for us adult collectors who want realism it is a bit of a put off. </div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
Edit: In late 2017 Epoch/Sylvanian Families JP made a cartoon TV miniseries of 12 episodes., including one based in the Designer Studio/Apartment. I love the way they have furnished this room & I wish the rest of the decor was available to buy!<br />

Also there are instructions on the inside flaps of the box, which even though they are in Japanese are easy to understand (for those of us who don't read Japanese)</div>

This piece can be placed above the doors so the façade has a slightly rounded top (found in many buildings built in the 1800s)</div>

The Designer Studio also comes with this lovely looking couch\settee. Which although it is plastic, still looks quite nice (I think they were going for a faux leather look).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There is also a coffee table, cup & saucer, plate , fork & tart, but at the time of these photo I didn't have the chance to take them out of the box. (without small children wanting to touch them)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I bought this dress set as I loved how it looked on the poodle sister in the short movie Epoch did of the Town (on their YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/NlJTg75SvXo )</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The dresses are all satin & a bit stiff, but soften up quickly with a bit of fiddling.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In all I like these sets, but some people might find the shallow buildings a bit off putting & I know the satin isn't for everyone. I can barely wait to get more buildings to try out the stacking options!</div>

This week I had a thought; Would any of my Sylvanians like to keep me company when I travel alone in the car?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
So I asked them. Most politely said no, they were content to stay safe in the village. But one young bunny excitedly told me she would love to come explore to big world. So I introduce to you Opal Babblebrook, youngest (& most adventurous) child of Cliff & Pearl.</div>
