The reason that rugs are a subject of such fascination and admiration for so many is that within their threads they carry the weight of history. The designs (which may have religious, talismanic or totemic meanings) tell the stories of their weavers, and of traditions passed down from one generation to the next.

Os muestro hoy la ultima escena que realicé y que salió publicada en la revista Miniaturas. He hecho un parón con las escenas, pues me estoy volcando en mi casa de muñecas y sobre todo en mi casa nueva a escala 1:1. En unos días empezamos la mudanza y estamos hasta arriba con todo lo que hay que hacer. Today I show you the last scene that I did published in the journal Miniaturas. I paused making scenes, because I'm working hard with my dollhouse and especially with my new 1:1 home., because we are moving in a few days, and there is much to do. Tenía como desafío hacer un cuarto oscuro de revelado. Empecé por los detalles como la ampliadora y el marginador, pues si lo lograba, entonces todo lo demás vendría rodado. I had the challenge of making a developer dark room. I startted with the details like the enlarger amd the easel if I got them, the other elements would be plain sailing Para hacer la ampliadora, usé como base una lámpara con la pila led, y sobre ella fui añadiendo elementos hechos con cartón duro, alambre, pasta de modelado en frío DAS, un trozo de cable, y un acetato rojo (acetato transparente con pintura de vitral) To make the enlarger, I used a lamp with battery as a base, and on it, I added elements made of hard cardboard, modeling paste, a piece of wire, and a red acetate (transparent acetate with glass paint) Para hacer el marginador, he usado cartón de montaje fino y unas patas torneadas de madera. To make the easel, I used hard cardboard and some wooden turned legs. Tenía un mueble fregadero de madera que desmonté para quitar la pila, pues era poco profunda, y después de lijarlo lo pinté de negro. Hice la pila con pasta de papel, el grifo con alambre grueso y un abalorio y con pinturas acrílicas envejecí y pinté manchas de óxido por todo el mueble como si fuera metálico. I had a wooden furniture with a sink not much deep. I removed the sink and made another with papiermaché. I sanded the whole furniture and painted black, also, I painted rust stains as it were metallic. Como es mucho más cómodo trabajar los paneles MDF por separado antes de ensamblarlos, comencé con los paneles con baldosas. Las hice de 1,5 X 1,5 cm con papel grueso de acuarela pintado con acrílico, y las pegué. Cubrí con barniz acrílico para impermeabilizarlas y cuando hubo secado apliqué barniz Diamond Glace, y apliqué masilla plástica entre las juntas, retirando el exceso con un trapo húmedo. As it is much more comfortable to work with each MDF panel separately before assembly, I started with the panels with tiles. I made the tiles with hard card board of 1,5cm X 1,5 cm. I painted and pasted them. I covered with acrilic varnish to make them impermeable and when they dried I aplied Diamond Glace varnish. Finally, with wall putty I filled the space between tiles. Cubrí el resto del suelo y la otra pared de madera, pinté de negro parte de la pared y ensamblé los tres tableros MDF, e hice la pared lateral con la ventana. I covered the rest of the floor and the other walls with wood, I painted black part of the wall and I joined the three MDF boards. Finally I made the side wall with the window with foam board. Con madera y alambre hice una mesa en ele con dos estantes incorporados. Enrollé papel al alambre como si fueran tuberías ensambladas. Además hice otro estante sobre el fregadero siguiendo el mismo diseño. With wood and wire I made a L-shaped table with two shelves. I rolled paper around the wire as if they were thin pipes assembled. I also did another shelf over the sink following the same design. Hice una mesa auxiliar soldando alambre galvanizado. I made a side table welding wire. La silla es una impresión en 3D que compré en Shapeways que he pintado de gris primero y tras darle con cera le he dado sombras de ojos irisadas. The chair is a 3D printing that I bought in Shapeways. I painted it grey and them with wax and eyes shadows I got the metallic effect Puse una lámpara en el techo pintada de rojo con pintura para vitral. El techo es de cartón pluma forrado de madera y con bigas. Dentro de él hay un hueco para esconder la pila. I put a lamp on the ceiling painted red with glass painting. The ceiling is made of foam board and covered with beams. Within there is a space to hide the battery. Por fuera también está tratado con madera y ladrillos. Outside it is also treated with wood and bricks. Con malla metálica hice un escurridor sobre el fregadero para dejar las probetas y jarras de medición y el embudo (hecho de papel). With wire mesh I made a drainer over the sink to leave the test tubes, the measuring jugs and the funnel (made of paper). Las cubetas de revelado son pequeñas cajas metálicas y plásticas pintadas con pintura en espray. Sobre ellas he vertido resina de dos componentes y he puesto varias fotografías. The phography trays are small metallic and plastic boxes painted with spray paint. I have poured over them two components resin and have placed several photographs. Hice con pasta de papel el termómetro, la resistencia calienta líquidos, el reloj, las cámaras antiguas y las tapaderas de los tanques de revelado (que son tapones de distintos tamaños). The thermometer, the liquids heater, the table clock, the old cameras and the lids of the developing tanks (which are plugs of different sizes), are made of papiermaché. Con la cápsula metálica de una botella de vino y un imprimible, he hecho una caja de cola-cao para guardar las tijeras y las cartulinas que se utilizan para hacer reservas. With the metal capsule of a bottle of wine and a printable, I made a box of cola-cao to save scissors and pieces of cardboards used for reservations. He hecho unos sobres y cajas para guardar los papeles fotográficos; unas cajas de cartón para guardar los botes con líquidos de revelado y viraje; unas carpetas clasificadoras para guardar los negativos y las tiras de contacto (los negativos son fotocopias hechas sobre transparencias), algunos libros, etc I made a few envelopes and boxes to store the photographic papers; cardboard boxes to store the cans with liquids developing; a folder sorting folders to store negatives and contact strips (the negatives are photocopies made on transparencies), some books, etc Para terminar, algunos detalles como un tablón de corcho, un cuaderno de notas, una lupa, una percha para las cámaras, otra para los trapos, una cuerda para colgar las fotos y los negativos, etc. Finally, some details like a cork board, a notebook, a magnifying glass, a hanger for the cameras, one for rags, rope to hang photos and negatives, etc. ¿Os ha gustado? la verdad es que me lo he pasado muy bien haciendo esta escena. Gracias por vuestro tiempo y vuestros comentarios. Espero que paséis un buen verano. Un abrazo Do you like it? the truth is that I've had a great time doing this scene. Thank you for your time and your comments. I hope you have a good summer. Hugs
