Penguins in the Christmas bauble
This year's Christmas bauble finally finished. Thanks to the size of the LEDs, I was able to fit lights in the smallest of spaces! As part of the diorama, I wanted the female penguin to be asleep in front of the telly while the male penguin was hard at work cooking in the kitchen (definitely NOT what happens in our house!)
The house with clocks
All of these projects are quarter scale. The house is all done in SMD Chip LEDS. This orignal kit WAS NOT a lighted house I did it on my
own
Relax by the pool
Great use of a 1.8mm blue LED makes this pool seem to have ripples and depth.

"Here is a photo of my "wee" project I used the FIRE LED's,
put them inside a little parlour stove I built from a kit from the dollhouse store and then
put some crinkled yellow, orange and red tissue paper in front of the little lights so you couldn't see them...
The effect was too cute and I had a lot of ooohhh's and aaahhh's from family and friends. Yours kindredly, Shan"
Shan used our
Fire LEDs. 
Beautiful Antebellum house
The new string lights in use...
"I put it up under the eves of the Antebellum house.
Took it in the darkened room and shot pictures in the dark.
This is in the dark. Very impressive. I can also see it as outdoor lighting for yards.
The next view is from underneath to show where they were attached.
I used 1/8"glue dots to hold each light. It was taken in a lightened room."

Gorgeous antique porcelain lamp
"I bought a little lamp at an estate sale.
It had once been an electrified lamp and had the broken parts of the old incandescent light in it.
It also had the top globe broken off, and I thought I might be able to put an LED in it.
It took some work removing the old parts, but I got them out.
Then I had to ream out the wire hole so the LED wire would fit in it.
I threaded the wires through the hole, hooked them to the battery pack and, oh wow, it is a lovely little piece
(after a bit of repainting). You really set me on fire. I can make almost any little lamp into an LED.
There is one little problem. It has to have a hole that can be made large enough to accomodate the two wires and the resistor."

Soutwestern style room view
This is a 1/120 scale Southwest Style roombox.
In terms of lighting, it used a combination of 3 volt lights with two N batteries
so the fireplace did not flicker the room lights about 9 bulbs altogether:
* 1.8mm cool whites in the ceiling and wall in the living room and showing on the patio side of the wall;
* 1.8mm warm whites in the outside "patio" area ceiling with some yellow/orange
glass paint put on some of the bulbs to simulate a sunset;
* flickering fireplace (our 3v fire kit) in the patio area

Amazing Dutch baby house
I've had lot of fun lately working on small scale projects such as our three recent Dutch Baby Houses.
I get a lot of emails from people who are just not certain that they would be able to work in such a small scale,
and do not want to jump in on a project as large as a filled baby house.
Madalyn's Dollhouse project was designed especially for you!
If you are a small scaler, or if you have a child's room in 1/12 scale, this is a lovely project.
Of course, it was specifically designed to coordinate with all of the pieces in Madalyn's Nursery.
But I am also offering the doll house project as a stand alone class.

LED lights wiring
"Taped 3 sets of LED Lights onto the interior walls of castle buildings.
Drilled 2 holes where buildings intersect, ran the 3 sets of LED lights wiring through 1 lower window
to the outside wall and connected to the switch/battery wires.
Fused switch to wall with super glue. Hid exterior wires by cutting a slit in the styrofoam mountain and pushing visable wires under.
Minor paint touch-up. Cut a slot in the styrofoam mountain where I wanted the battery holder and pushed the holder into the styrofoam.
Note: the final landscaping shrubs and trees will be placed to hide visible wire parts. "
Thanks to
Murray Elliot BreenSurf the Arts for these great pictures and write-up.
