@@kevsmodellingminute no, just water. The protective varnish I applied afterwards should make sure the colour won't fade away. Good luck with your floor then!

@@TheParkAttendant yes, I should have probably added a bit of glue. The tape serves purely an aesthetic purpose, to cover the edge of the fabric rim inside the lampshade, because it wasn't super straight. It looked a bit more neat with the tape.

@@fredericapanon207 I bought it in Italy many years ago in a specialized shop, I think that the brand was dutch. I don't have the packaging anymore, unfortunately I don't remember the name. But if you Google dollhouse socket you should find them

@@gillianwiseman3518 choosing music is the part I enjoy the least when editing videos. I would rather not use it at all, but then when I don't talk it feels awkward.

@@CeciliaPMiniatures Try a video without it. I think people will be happier!

@@gillianwiseman3518 I will!

The lamp turned out great. Such talent. The music is fine, its low enough just to be background music. Did you find your lighting system at hobby lobby? I know they used to carry alot of it. Thanks for sharing.

@@agneschrismer9946 thanks! I bought it many years ago in a specialized shop in Italy, but I think the brand was Dutch.

@@flyingdutchwoman I bought it more than ten years ago in a specialized shop. I don't have the packaging anymore but I think it's from a dutch brand called mini mundus or something like that. I found that similar (maybe the same) items are sold on a website called minimumworld, but I'm sure there are many online shops selling these things. The lightbulb is actually a car light, and I bought it at my local hardware shop. It was way cheaper than your average dollhouse lightbulbs for some reason, even though it's the same thing, i.e. a 12 V mini light bulb

@@elizabeths4371 it's a nice clay. I'm always looking for new types of air drying clays because I have very cold hands and conditioning is very hard for me. This one is very soft right from the start but at the same time once you flatten it remains like that, it doesn't curl. The finish is a bit "papery" so it's not suited for all types of projects though.

@@elizabethworley7073 thanks! Ok, I would suggest a couple of things. First use a clay which has a "ceramic" finish, like polymer clay or an air drying clay such as cold porcelain. This one I used has a "paper finish", opaque and slightly textured, so it's not good to imitate ceramic. And then I would use a high quality gloss varnish (instead of the matt one I used). If the final grout layer does affect the glossy varnish a bit, I would probably touch up each tile again with gloss varnish, without going over the gaps.

@@CeciliaPMiniatures thank you. I've never heard of cold porcelain, so I will look it up.

@@kevsmodellingminute thanks! I love chalk pastels also because there is no waste. They don't dry out like acrylics, so if you have to stop working for some reason and then get back to it, a bit of water is enough to "revitalize" them, whereas paint will inevitably get wasted if you don't use all of it at once

@@denisew3917 thank you! Hello from Italy!

@@kjhaygood thanks! You can also change the colours, I've seen floors with hexagonal tiles like these but white and blue, and arranged in a sort of flower pattern

@@partlyart grazie!

@@annietwemlow9967 sounds great in a Victorian kitchen!

Thank you! I'm not sure, because when recording it takes way longer, I have to check lights, focus, right camera angle...but I'm sure I began on Monday and by Friday I was done. And I work around one hour at night, after dinner😊 It's exactly like gardening, which I also do. Making tikes is like weeding for me (I know it sounds crazy, but I find it calming and oddly satisfying). Good luck with your marble floor!

@@CeciliaPMiniatures I don't think it sounds crazy at all--I agree with you 100%!! Enjoy!

@@jenpink4298 thank you!

@@francinemiranda8409 I find making floors very relaxing and usually do it while listening to podcasts...so for me it's not a matter of patience, but just having my hands making something while learning new stuff, but I get what you mean!

@@gaynortaylor3840 thanks for watching and commenting, it really helps me out as I'm still very new on TH-cam!

@@lolasworldofminis that's great to hear, thank you!

@@patriciastrong8813 it's the paper you use for baking. I'm not sure parchment paper would be the same thing...it might be though. The important thing is that the paper is slightly oily/greasy, so that ink does not stick to it and can be transferred onto other surfaces.

@@patriciastrong8813 thanks! The electric file I'm using is by Dremel. It's a very basic tool, nothing fancy, just two different speeds. No, I don't have an Amazon store
