    I realized I said bedroom "soot" again in this one instead of "sweet" for the word 'suite'. Does anyone else say it that way? Is that a Texas thing or just a me thing???🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

    • @rachaelkasper5445
      @rachaelkasper5445 3 роки тому +4

      I've always heard it either "set" or "suite". "Set" was for regular people but new and simple and nice and "suite" was super fancy and expensive.

      In the south there’s many ways to say things “Suit” and “Suite” are both correct. I’ve always said Suit, like a suit you wear.

      I think it's a Texas thing, my friend from fort worth told me ( we were going to some lake to go swimming or tubing I forget which ) that if I got into trouble I was supposed to say "hep me, somebody!! Hep me!!" Cause if I said help like a Yankee no one would pay attention 😹 the guys were just so cute. Don't tell my mom I said that.

      I've used museum putty in miniatures before and I ran into the problem of it "melting" after a while and ruining a few of my wooden pieces and wallpaper by leaving behind a sort of oily, sticky texture. I'm not sure if it was user error or the type I used, but it didn't like me very much.

    I glue somethings in, but I love having the choice of changing things around. Most the time for paintings an pictures I use poster tack.. I love your videos, they help me with so much stuff. So thank you for sharing your talent with all of us.. stay safe

      Bentley House Minis mine falls off also, it normally dries out, that’s why I have found why it falls off. But b4 I take my minis to a show I make sure I have a new tack in my stuff. That is unless it’s something I now will never be mover then I glue it in or on.😉

    @jinx_flux4936 3 роки тому

    I've always enjoy redecorating my dollhouses when I get new pieces or think up a better or more interesting way of setting things up, so I often don't glue things. For the wall fixtures and such, I find a small piece of painter's tape always works decently for me. It sticks for a while, but won't ruin the wallpaper of the house when it's all done.

    I want to decorate some miniature walls now.
    Here's an idea to try, using very thin ribbon to decorate a picture frame or mat. I was watching another youtuber years ago and she was framing these huge diy christmas paintings for her church. She used 6in velvet ribbon to frame or mat her paintings. Looked really great. I would like to see if it'll look good in minature. One day I want to just try a bunch of different things in minature. The other youtuber was Garden Answer and Laura did amazing work.

    I don't make miniatures but I'm too a very crafty person. So I 100,000% totally understand the emotion and learyness to gluing down and making things permanent in your Addams family home. I feel that same emotion/learyness after making a piece of jewelry, I trust myself to wear it because I know if it for whatever reason it breaks that it was my doing/fault weather it's natural distress or my own shotty craftsmanship. I know I could easily fix it and it's no sweat off my back. However if it was a piece someone was interested in aquaring from me and it breaks in their care, then there's that feeling like "ooooh my baby, I'm so sorry!" and then I have the feelings that they may lose faith/trust that I don't make quality work.
    I love the paintings you've made for lurch! Even the print outs are nice! And the paintings around your work space!💕
    I really think the puffy paint for texture and dimension on the picture frames are genius! I love the extending ceiling lights you use for working on your models.
    How genius to use a keyboard vacuum cleaner!
    I'm a new subscriber and I can't wait to watch more of your videos!

    They are great. Gluing makes sense. Who wants to pick up little pieces all the time. Lol you are right about the chairs they do kinda jump out at you.If you did a dark color I think that would go Gomez since he is from the Castile part of Spain. Or at least his family is. Modern day furniture is very brightly colored.

    • @elizabethworley7073
      @elizabethworley7073 3 роки тому

      I was just coming to say the same thing. If it is safe enough for historic objects, it should work here and it lets you reposition and move things as you change or replace stuff.

    • @BentleyHouseMinis
      @BentleyHouseMinis  3 роки тому

      I will probably use museum was here and there as well.... but for some reason (maybe it's the Texas weather) temporary fixes don't seem to stay put for me. Could also be the finish on my walls? not sure. But everything I have ever put up with putty or wax as fallen. The museum was will be great for keep the furniture in place though... and then I can move it around still ;)

    I love the addams family project. I can't wait to see your next project. Have you tried glue dots instead of hot glue? I find they work like command strips. But i do scrapbooking not miniatures so i dunno if they would stay on a wall for posters
    Tip i use a silicone makeup brush for my modpodge projects as its easier to clean if i forget it i don't have to throw a brush away. I wasted so many brushes before i found it.

    • @BentleyHouseMinis
      @BentleyHouseMinis  3 роки тому +3

      Great tips! Esp the silicone make up brush... I have never heard of that! I have used temporary sticking methods before (and I may still use in them for some things) but they tend to let go after a while and for things I am sure about I just want to go for it!

After a couple months of staring at the placement I was ready to permanently glue items down. Just pulled off the tack it glue and used tacky glue. No damage to item or surface, especially good for items I decided to move to another spot

    Sometimes I glue, sometimes not. I have some minis (cut crystal decanters, glasses, hand made hair brushes, toothbrushes, etc) , that were very expensive and I cannot bring myself to gluing them. Of course, they are the ones that sporadically "jump" off their little tables at the drop of a mini hat.

    • @BentleyHouseMinis
      @BentleyHouseMinis  3 роки тому

    Whenever I'm hesitant to glue something permanent, I like sticking a bit of masking tape (the type that comes off easily and the good quality that still comes off easily after a while) as a "base coat" and stick whatever needs sticking to that. Thinking again and connecting it to a dot I just saw in your vid, I find the sticky end of a post-it note would do as well. It may fall off some day, but potraits falling down in my doll house is not too a risk (in my own hobby of building pond yachts, where bits coming off may spell serious trouble, I only use it for temporary jigs during the build).

I remember putting these tiny little nails in my dollhouse walls (40 years ago) to hang paintings and things.

    This is the most wonderful project I've ever seen. Your process of deciding what to glue and what to leave free to move or change really helped me with my glue-phobia with interior decor. For me, it does depend on the "theme" of the house. For my 12th scale, I left quite a few things movable unless they were super tiny and would get lost. Other things, I used tacky dots that are easily removed but keep things from sliding around as I move the display. I did much the same for my 1:16th scale house. For my quarter scale house, since it has a specific theme, I'll be gluing pretty much everything down. Your attention to detail is amazing and makes me want to go back to look at my other projects to see if I need to add little sensible touches where needed. Thank you!! This was a lovely video.

      Thank you Rachael! I think once I gave myself permission to pick and choose what I got to glue down (instead of just EVERYTHING😮) it got a bit easier! And I def understand gluing down quarter scale... I can't imagine trying to get anything back into place in those tiny houses lol!

    You could always use candle wax, the stuff that you can fix candles in place with if you aren't sure. I have glued things down myself and it is rather good to be able to move a whole table with a dining set on it without dropping anything on the floor.

    Here is another idea for holding minis without glue and this one is a good bit cheaper than museum or earthquake wax. I have used this a lot but forgot about it in my first post. It’s called Mini-Hold, described as a “wax adhesive for miniatures…will not stain surfaces or dry out”. Just do a Google search. I found it a few places, but not on Amazon.

    I'm glad that you've finally committed to a few things, and decided to glue things down. One of the things we artists have to get over is our fear of moving forward. That can be crippling to achieving our goals. These fears are normal though, and I sympathize with you, Ara, because I still get them sometimes to. With me though, it's usually in regards to inking a drawing that I've done. Inking is always a gamble. Even though I'm a highly skilled inker with decades of experience, I still stress that I might mess some aspect up, and that sometimes makes me want to put the inking stage off. In my business though, things are deadline-centric, and you can't put things off too long. I find that the best thing to do is to just jump in and get started. Once I'm in the middle of inking, I become more comfortable, and any anxiety I was feeling goes away. I'm sure that's similar with committing to gluing thing down for you. Once you've done some of that, it's easier from then on to make things permanent. At least I hope it is for you. :)
    Thank you for another great video! I really enjoyed seeing all of the excellent wall art that you chose and created! You made that "cake icing" decoration look so easy around the picture frames! Really nice work!
    Please allow me to leave you with this, Ara. Perhaps it will help give you some extra encouragement: www.lostonwallace.com/Wednesday.jpg

    If you're having problem with the working time of hot glue, you might consider something like Gorilla glue, which sets quickly enough to support small pieces without too much holding time, but not quite as quickly as hot glue. Another choice would be rubber cement, which allows you to peel the item back up without damaging either surface (usually, and if you use care).

    Ara, you are absolutely amazing. I am a lifelong miniaturist, (now 83,), and your videos have given me many new ideas. Your creativity is just never ending. One thing I thought of while watching this particular one. (and someone else may have mentioned it or you may be shown using it elsewhere), but have you thought of using miniature or earthquake wax as a secure but temporary hold. I often use this when I don’t want to commit but things keep falling over or when a particular piece is too precious to risk it’s being broken or when I don’t want to put glue on it, like some of my hand blown glass pieces. Over the years I have found it invaluable. Thanks for sharing your fabulous work.

    • @BentleyHouseMinis

    congrats on gluing Ara! I'm so glad you were able to use the books I sent. I end up using a lot of poster putty for my miniatures. It is just strong enough to keep everything from falling over. If that won't work then hot glue is my next choice, but tacky glue is for extra permanent things!

    Love all the portraits. The gold on the frames is perfect. I have an antique portrait of a great-aunt in an ornate (very!) frame in gold.circa 1900. The portrait was given to me because it once fell from it's place above the mantel and hit me in the head.
    BTW, you might want to consider using Blu Stuff for a semi-permanent method for hanging objects and keeping freestanding items where you want them. Just a thought.

    A suggestion ... IF you ever decide to remove the poster and/or paintings from the wall, try using a hot scalpel. That would go through the hot glue like butter. And it wouldn't leave possible scorch marks as a hairdryer might. Just a thought.

    I've really enjoyed this project! it's so much fun and your talent amazes me. I'm a non-gluer . I just can't commit to permanent placement. So far most of my miniatures have been 1/4 scale to go with my 1/4 scale ball jointed dolls and their home. Also, I'd never heard suite (sweet) until I moved to the city from a small Tennessee town. I think it's a Southern thing and not just Texas

    You are brave glueing things down. I use museum wax to affix things in my mini house and that’s about as gutsy as I get. So far so good , some objects and pictures have remained up for over 10 years but I can still remove them if I want. TBH I will likely never do that but......
