Sinistä ja valkoista - Blue and white

Blue and white - facade

Löysin kesällä Sinellistä vanerisen minitalon. Koko on epätavallinen, n. 1:21, jos laskee huonekorkeudeksi n. 2,4 m (11,5 cm minitalossa ilman ullakkoa). Etuseinä on melkein valmis mutta sisäpuolen sisustus on vielä vaiheessa. Harmillisinta on, että toinen sivuseinistä on vääntynyt, ilmeisesti maalaamisen ja tapetoinnin takia.

Ikkunalasit on tehty liivatelehdistä, mikä ei kuvassa näy kovin hyvin. Sokkelin ja portaikon "kivetyksen" väri vivahtaa oikeasti siniseen; kuvassa se vain näyttää tummemmalta. Teemana työssä on kaksi väriä: sininen ja valkoinen.

I found a cute little house of unfinished plywood in our local craft shop in the summer. The scale is a little unusual: 1:21 (the house's interior wall measures 11.5 cm excluding the attic and by multiplying it with 21, it would equal to about 2.4 m high wall in real life). The facade is almost ready but the interior needs more work. It's annoying, though, that the wall on the left of the house is slightly warped, probably because of the wet paint and wallpaper.

You probably can't see it very well in the photo but I've used gelatin leaves as window glass. The color of the base and the stairs has a hint of blue although in this photo is looks much darker than it really is. The main themes in this work are the two colors: blue and white.

What a fun project and a great find! I am sure you will get the wall straightened when you install the roof pieces, and if not, it'll just add character! Have fun with it and please share the progress!

A great find! Maybe the warp will not be noticed. I love blue and white colors. Shall be looking forwards to seeing your progress on this project.
