Back from our vacation, just a couple of weeks to sunbathe, swim and recharge us! Sorry for disappearing so suddenly but I was really burnt out and just had to switch off for a little while!
I'm not ready yet to write long posts, as I'm still in the "lazy" mode, but I can let pictures speak for me.
And here are the finished structures, I still have to make the seats for the table, anyway on the shelf there is no room for the table so I'll have to come up with some ideas on how to display them!
Arturo is the proprietor of the bar, he's checking the height of the counter
The Bar partially decorated with bottles and food!
And finally the girls can throw their party!
in the meantime I added stools
Giulio and Pietro have now complete outfitts, I'm still working on the others, these two are part of the Tobacco Road collection
Now I have to prepare the walls for the rooms and I've some more diorama projects lurking around, and of course I'm sewing dresses.
See you soon
Kisses Billa
Hello from Spain: I really like your creation. It is very original. Keep in touch.
ReplyDeleteThank you Marta, it's not a professional job, but it's good enough to allow the boys and girls to hang out and have some fun!
DeleteOh Billa,
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the Mexican bar...I love how it's meant to look like little tiles. Very nice job and I'm the dolls are thoroughly enjoying it! :) So happy to hear you've had a nice holiday in the sun!

Oh, and I also really love your old fashioned black phone in the photos..I'm a huge fan of vintage looking telephones. :)
DeleteThank you Farrah, I just noticed that dome of the tiles ade not perfectly attached, gotta fax them as soon ad I get home!
DeleteThe Dolls arte very happy and ade looking forward for me to finish it, and fix those stools!
The phone is one of my prized possessions. Ti is an oroginal phone dated 1932....my fave era...
Awesome!!! The tiles are perfect! A great job, I love every detail. The outfits are amazing too! And wow, what a handsome bartender, the girls will be hanging out in the bar all the time I think :-). Hugs xx
ReplyDeleteThank you Linda, I really enjoy the se projects. Too bad I'm not crafty enough to make more elaborated shapes. But I'm palesed with this!
DeleteMore about Arturo soon, he's a complicated guy...
Wow, this is so cool! Thanks for showing us how you put it together.
ReplyDeleteThank you Muff, it was less complicated than expected!
DeleteWow great work! everything seems real!
ReplyDeleteThank you Emma, I owe a lot to the wonderful people in Etsy that Made those wonderful drinks and food!
DeleteYou did a great job - your dolls look happy to enjoy the bright and warm bar and the lovely edibles. Sigh ... shrimp cocktail. Yum!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back!
Thanks D7ana! as soon as I will be in the mood to finish the whole the dolls will be even happier!
DeleteI wanted the bar to be selling my favourite food! :-)
Billa, the bar is awesome. How did you make the stools? Also, are those liquor bottles considered miniature (1:12) size? I see them on Ebay, but am afraid to buy, but the ones you have look appropriate. So I'm checking to see if they are the miniature size, then I may actually buy them. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteHi Jaye, some of the bottles comes from Dawn at https://www.etsy.com/shop/OneSixthSense, the others are Gloria's wine rack cabinets, I bought both sets on ebay, and they are in 1:6 scale.
DeleteThe stools are made from toilet rolls, contact paper and a piece of sponge covered with fabric for the seat. They need fixing, as they aren't heavy enough and keep falling. I have to find something to weight the bottom.
Welcome back, Billa. I know what you mean about the lazies. It took me 10 days after returning home before I could post anything!!!! Well, so far, so good. The guys sitting around the bar look like a bunch of friends getting together having drinks at someone's "man cave." Love all the little food and liquor bottles! And the tiles are gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteHi April, I do have plenty of ideas for future entries, I'm just to lazy to get started on them! but summer is just like this for me, I just want to spend time with Sasha and swim every time I have the chance to.
DeleteSlowly I getting accostumed to having to go to work again, imagine....
I'm pretty pleased with the bar so far, and the boys are pressing me to finish it, and give a huge inauguration party (I think they want to have the chance to meet the girl who are in the crystal showcase)...
Ditto what Muff said! For some reason my original comment never showed up, so I'm late to the party. Still, I wanted to say how much I like this project. It's a great spot for meeting up and hanging out.
ReplyDeleteHi Jewell, so bad your original post didn't show up, thanks a lot for taking the time to repost!
DeleteIt was easier than I expected and gives the girls and boys a lot of possibilities. Now I have to start to work on the sofas and tables and then the corner for the band. Of course I shall not put on permanent display the whole thing, but this is a setup I'm planning to use a lot!
It's always important to recharge, so we forgive you. Love what you've done with the bar so far. The dolls look happy, too.
ReplyDeleteThank you Vanessa, I really needed some rest! :-)
DeleteI'm really happy you like it, making little dioramas is thrilling!
