Miniatures in 3D

Our Bambu Lab 3D printer arrived and it hasn't stopped printing since we got it on Monday. After a few tries, Brian got the sizing right for the fountain going into my parterre garden. He even added a little pigeon on top! I was also able to print another bust for the Statue Room and new posts and rails for the cupola on the manor extension.

All that's need now is some paint (with my new air brush painter) and they're ready for their debut. Oh, and I have to figure out how to add water to the fountain . . . another learning curve, yay!

Playing with ChatGPT

While our friends from the States were visiting, they put me on to ChatGPT. Needless to say, I have become addicted.

I started with the landscaping for the Manor . . .

And then I played around with ideas for my new dollhouse. I'm designing a Victorian Gothic Mansion with a twist . . . it will be in pastel colors. I'm thinking the exterior will be either lilac or blue . . . what do you think?

Brian will also be building a basement which will be a darker part of this creation to suite BellaDonna's apothecary. I'm still trying to figure out who the inhabitant of this pastel perfection will be. I'm leaning towards the 1950s for the interior and will likely commission a 1950s doll . . . you know I need a doll to design for!

I like the blue dress with crinoline underneath and maybe a collar and a corsage on her bodice?

I'm really looking forward to this new project!

The Finished Parterre . . .

Almost . . . I'm waiting on the arrival of our 3D printer in order to print the fountain. For the most part, the Parterre Garden is finished. At least I thought it was. I just remembered I want to add some topiaries. I just haven't decided where to put them yet. So I guess there will be more to come!

Here's the Parterre Garden as it is today . . .
