I started the tea salon project in 2016 but for the whole concrete project I started offically from the second half of the year 2017. It includes 5 scenes : pastry shop, tea salon, library, tea shop and terrace garden. In between 2017 and 2018, I completed the electric lighting setting. It was a complicated but very interesting project. I also have completed most part of the furniture.

It's the third week of lockdown in France. For most of people who craft, we don't feel that bored at home. But just at the same moment, we have to make the schedules for our kids and avoid spending too much time in front of the screens. I am pleased the French Education Department has prepared national/ educational programs and starts to give lessons for all the children at home.

I am happy finally I decide to restart a pastry project. It's true I have been worrying about the fact I did not have so much inspiration and wondered how to create and catch the details of real sweeties.
For 2020, I hope there will be more to come! :)

On the table, it's my dollhouse project: a French backery store, a tea salon and a tea shop. As you can see, the ceiling and shop shelves are not glued.

This is a little peoject that I have been thinking to achieve, especially the technique of patina, which gives the resine frames the aged effects, stone, metal or wood like appearance.The paintings are prints with fine touch and finishing.

I am lacking in self-confidence when starting this post. How come? I am not that certain of the styles of antiques but the problem is I like them. Since it’s been 12 years that I live in France, wherever I go, I am able to see them easily. I have purchased several books to guide me but frankly speaking I am still confused with the styles due to the overlap of the ages.
