Hace poco leí “Las aventuras de Alicia en el país de las maravillas” y “Alicia a través del espejo”. Una edición que comenta ambos libros de Lewis Carrol, llena de explicaciones sobre lógica y lingüística de Manuel Garrido, traducida por Ramón Buckley. Un poco ardua y difícil en algunos momentos, pero siempre interesante. Mientras leía el libro, se fue fraguando en mi mente la imagen de una librería de viejo, y empecé a trabajar en esta nueva escena que lleva por nombre “Los libros de Alicia” I have recently read "Alice's Adventures in Wonderlandand" and " Through the Looking-Glass and what Alice Found There", an edition of the books of Lewis Carrol, full of logical and linguistic explanations of Manuel Garrido, translated by Ramón Buckley. Sometimes a bit arduous and difficult, but always very interesting. While I was reading the book, the image of a second hand bookshop was being forged in my mind, and I started working on this new scene wich is called "Alice's books" Para hacer esta escena, realicé primeramente un armazón con la forma de la tienda en cartón pluma , y lo forré con madera de balsa. Con unas flores troqueladas hice algunos adornos, coloqué unas barandas con alambre de aluminio y pinté de rojo. To make this scene, first I made the form of the store with foam board, and then I covered it with balsa wood, I also added some punched flowers like ornaments, and wire aluminum railings. En principio iba a quedar así, pero tras pintarlo, me resultaba soso y decidí añadirle un escaparate con la esquina redondeada. Para ello, utilicé madera de balsa de 2 milímetros que mojé por ambas caras y até a un bote cilíndrico para que se secara manteniendo esa forma. I decided to add a window in a rounded corner in order to improve the façade. I used balsa wood of 2 millimeters thick, I wet it on both sides and tied to a cylindrical tin to let it dry keeping that form. Corté después lo que sería el escaparate (si se hace antes, se corre el riesgo de que la madera se quiebre) y coloqué en el interior unas estructuras curvas con cartón pluma para darle rigidez. Then, I cut the window space and placed inside curved structures with foam board to give it firmness. Para la parte inferior de los escaparates utilicé un par de charms de Alicia en el país de las maravillas, uno lo dejé plano y el otro lo curve con cuidado. For the underneath, I used a couple of charms of Alice in Wonderland, one flat and the other gently curved. Pinté de rojo todo otra vez y cuando secó lijé en algunas zonas y apliqué cera y sombras de ojos para hacer las pátinas. Con cera dorada realcé algunos perfiles. I painted all red again and when it dried I sanded some areas and applied wax and eye shadows to make patinas. With golden wax I enhance the edges. Para hacer la pared de piedra de la izquierda, corté con los dedos de forma irregular trozos de cartón de huevos, los pegué con cola, y apliqué masilla tapagrietas con el dedo. To make the stone wall on the left, I cut with the fingers irregular pieces of egg carton, I glued on the wall and added putty with my fingers. Pinté a esponja y añadí Alkil para proteger la superficie y polvos de talco para eliminar los brillos. Then, I painted it with a sponge and added Alkil (transparent plastic varnish) to protect the surface and talcum powder to remove the shine. Para el suelo corté unos rectángulos grandes que coloqué algo separados. Apliqué un par de capas de gesso, pintura acrílica negra y Alkil , y de nuevo polvos de talco. For the floor I cut some large cardboard rectangles and placed them slightly apart. I covered with a couple of coats of gesso, acrylic black paint, Alkil and again talcum powder. Este es el efecto final visto con más detalle. This is the resulting effect. En la pared donde va a estar la tienda, he puesto ladrillos en la parte de fuera, y en el interior, para darle profundidad, una fotografía con colores que me parecían interesantes. Aunque no se va a ver mucho, siempre le dará más interés que si pintamos de un color liso. The wall of the front of the store has outside bricks, and inside, a photograph with interesting colors to combine each other , this photograph gives also more interest to the composition than if we paint a solid color. El rótulo de la tienda, está hecho con letras transferibles y rotulador dorado. The shop sign, is drawn with transfer lettering and a golden marker. Para el interior del escaparate realicé una celosía sobre la cual coloque unas pequeñas estanterías hechas con palos de polo donde pegué algunos libros. Y terminé de montar el escaparate. I made a lattice for the big shop window to place two small shelves made with popsicle sticks where stuck some books. I finished installing the window. Coloqué las luces, dos en el interior que no se van a ver, y una en el exterior. Esta última la realicé con un charm en forma de tiovivo, dentro del cual coloqué un acetato transparentepintado con pintura de vitral de colores. I placed the lights, two hidden inside the shop and one outside. This one is realized with a carousel little charm, in which I placed a transparent acetate painted with stained glass paintings. Para hacer el pequeño tejado donde se esconde el interruptor, hice la estructura con papel grueso de acuarela. Y sobre ella pegué las losas de pizarra. Estas están hechas con masilla tapagrietas sobre un cartón, pintadas de negro y gris. Volví a pintar las zonas del tejado que quedaron blancas, apliqué dos generosas manos de Alkil y después polvos de talco para matar el brillo. To make the small roof where the switch is hidden I did the structure with thick watercolor paper. And I glued the tiles. These are made of plastic putty on cardboard, painted black and gray. I painted again the areas of the roof in white, and I applied two generous layer of Alkil and talcum powder. Terminé de añadir los detalles exteriores: un macetero un poco especial... I finished adding up the outer details: a special planter... ...una maleta vieja con libros de segunda mano sobre una silla de madera... ...an old suitcase with used books inside on a wood chair ...un cartel indicador... ...a sign... ...un perro observando la puerta con ansiedad mientras espera a su dueño... ...a dog staring at the door and waiting anxiusly to its owner... Y este es el resultado. And this is the result. ¿Os ha gustado? Did you like it? Esta escena, apareció el mes pasado en la revista "Miniaturas", el nº 192. Me gustaría agradecer a Madelva Fernandez de Rojas, directora de dicha revista,el apoyo que me presta y la posibilidad que me brinda de compartir mi trabajo al lado de grandes miniaturistas. This scene apeared the last month in the magazine "Miniaturas". I want to thank Madelva Fernandez de Rojas, director of this magazine, her support offering me the opportunity to share my work close to great miniaturists.
