Hotel Roombox by Paris Renfroe



Hotel Roombox by Paris Renfroe

Oftentimes as artisans, we create our little labors of love and then ship them off to their new homes, never seeing them again.  Sometimes a collector will tell us that a piece is going into this house or that roombox, but it is left up to our own imaginations to fill in the details.  That is why I especially appreciate when an artisan or collector takes the time to send me a photo of the finished dollhouse, roombox, vignette or scene.

Imagine my surprise -- and pure delight -- when I recently received a message from Paris (prdminiatures.com) with the above photos attached.  (Photos posted with permission.)  This stunningly amazing hotel roombox is the new home for a set of my rolling luggage.  Wow!  I am well pleased that the luggage will be staying in such posh accommodations.  (In this case, I wish I'd travelled with the luggage.   Maybe next time.  ;-) )

Paris  has a background in full scale design and architecture, talents he now uses to create one of a kind highly realistic miniature scenes that he photographs in such a way it is impossible to distinguish his full scale designs from his miniature ones.  In any scale, I love the clean lines and beautiful details of his work.  Paris has ordered several more sets of luggage and I very much look forward to seeing where their travels take them to.  Hopefully we'll be treated with some more photos to drool over.  In the meantime, take a peek at Paris' website.  You're going to love what you find there.

New Luggage Sets

Good morning, everyone and Welcome to my new Followers!
I'm trying to make my way around to all of the blogs.
There's so much creativity in the mini community!

I haven't posted in awhile as I'm still really busy with
luggage sets and also some real world spring cleaning.
(I much prefer mini-making, lol!)



I'm also currently working on a custom order luggage set in 3/4" scale.  It's very
challenging as I've never worked in this scale before.  Has
anyone else tried 3/4" scale?  It's a nice step for me as I have been
planning on making the luggage in 1/2" scale for awhile now anyway and
3/4" scale is halfway between one inch scale and half inch scale.

After I catch up on the luggage orders, I'm looking forward to switching gears
to either plants or 1/144th scale houses/furnishings.  I am
preparing for another mini show so there's lots to do!

(My "to-do list" keeps getting longer.  ;))

Speaking of which, I better get back at it.  Toodles for now.  :)
