(Miniature) couch restoration

I found this couch ( with a bunch of other things I didn't care about) for 2$ at a second hand store

Finding dollhouse miniatures is kind of rare around here so I grabbed it, I thought at worst it would be a cheap MDF off of AliExpress or something and I could repaint it, but once I scraped a bit of the paint off I was pleasantly surprised to find a nice wood finish!

There was at least 3 to 4 layers of paint through (⁠‘⁠◉⁠⌓⁠◉⁠’⁠) (white, gray, maybe white again and finally pink)

Out of curiosity I pried up the fabric which was obviously not the original, to find another unoriginal fabric and pried that up too and that was still not the original 🤣 matroshka doll of upholstery

After huffing 99% alcohol and paint brush cleaner for probably 5 or so hours I ended up with this

I left the back and seat of the couch rough as it would be covered in fabric anyway, it looks like that maybe at some point this got sanded in a few spots? I fixed it up by finally using my furniture repair markers as intended (mostly I don't think they had mini furniture in mind)

You can see on the left half where I tried different colours to see what would match best

Now new upholstery! I only had the original couch cushion seat so I decided to just redo the whole thing in silk of corse (⁠｡⁠•̀⁠ᴗ⁠-⁠)⁠✧

I wanted it to look a little worn so I picked this really textured blueish green/cream dupini silk

From barbie would be embarrassed to have this in her house to Victorian centerpiece! Or well I would like to think so ;;;

My first time working on 28 count (stitches per inch) linen. The blue ground is petitpoint but the horse and top band are cross stitch so they pop out a bit. I backed it with a piece of purple faux suede that looks like velvet at this scale. I'm planning on making one every year until I have a stocking for every member of the doll family

Got an urge to make miniature chocolate bars wrapped in foil (the way they were when I was a kid), and now that's turned into a whole bowl of candy.

[void-of-nonsense]

Stories of autism and unmasking and letting yourself be joyful about special interests.

Reblog with your special interests and or weird masking rules you've been unlearning.

The thing about growing up as an afab as an undiagnosed autistic person is you learn a lot of weird rules. Rules that don't really exist.

For example looking back I realise that musicals like Hello, Dolly! must have been a special interest of mine. I even had relatives print off the script for me because they thought I would want to learn the lines and get more into acting. Because I was saying the lines and singing the songs and copying the inflection.

When WALL.E came out we went to see it as a family in the cinema and the fact that it had music from hello dolly in it had me loosing my shit. But I looked around and no one was as excited as I was by this so I adjusted my mask despite the fact that I was like 9. Growing up and learning that I was autistic really put that moment into perspective.

Yesterday I got to remember that I am not normal about 1:12 scale dollhouse minatures.

I used to play with dolls all the time as a kid. Which looking back a lot of that was social scripting/practicing social situations. It was fun and I used to make a lot of things for them. Until my mum complained at the mess and also kinda told me that 'I should have grown out of dolls by now'. I could've fought that or said I still wanted to keep them and she would have respected that but I was a kid and I didnt know I didnt have to conform to societal norms of what I 'should be doing'.

I still do play with dolls now but its moved to more 'acceptable' mediums like the sims, fanfics or just daydreaming.

Rules like 'dolls are for kids' arent real. Dolls are for people that like dolls. Fandom and autistic spaces are really good at reminding you that you are allowed to just like things and be ridiculously excited about them.

Unmasking is a process but slowly I will relearn how to be me.

Decorating gingerbread :)

The gingerbread house is made by me from cardboard held together with hot glue which I painted shimmery white to look like icing. The other icing details are nail decals.

Found an image of a box of Kix from 1960, had to turn it into a mini box of cereal (1:12 scale).
