All kinds of rooms in one building

Let's get this done before the end of February! (hehe, at least it won't be 3 months late :P )

all the tiny person's things in a tiny person's home

Now you're going to see all the close-up shots...try to guess which is a real room!

some house with a swimming pool?

bachelor pad :P

a stage all ready for a concert

Check out the dead fowl on the table!

dusty archives

There's even a cat on the bed!

money money...

This embroidery place is just so beautiful

There's also a mice's home!

I was taking a photo of the cosy home when I suddenly noticed the resident mouse ;P

There's a family ^_^

Okay, there was no real room...though you might have guessed! :P

Then there are places done to scale.

This is the view from inside the Lyon Opéra. You can even see the towers of the town hall in front of it...

Did I mention I went to Kyoto? ;P

Need I say more?

Now for some "global" views

a sitting room

and a bedroom

in a box

next five pics are close-ups of stuff in this pic

(Okay, I just realised I stupidly uploaded two different photos of the same basket of fruits. But since they're already uploaded, I'll leave them...sifting through pics is tiring, ya know?)

That's it! I'll probably post more photos of Nicole's visit...but then those are sights you have seen before, so there's no hurry ;)

Fireflies

I love this song by Owl City...and what's great is that I don't even mind it being stuck in my head! :D



Owl City is just one person, by the way...called Adam Young.

Then there is this French song, by Renan Luce, called On n'est pas à une bêtise près, about the little mischiefs children get up to. It wasn't until I saw the video that I found out that the song was for the soundtrack of the film Petit Nicolas (an adaptation from a collection of short stories about the mischiefs of Nicolas and his friends). How apt ^_^

And then I discovered the video of La fille de la bande, which is a really good video :D Just watch it! (the song is not as good as the first one, though...)

Another video, La lettre, about a letter sent to the wrong address:



His videos are good! And the lyrics aren't bad either... ^_^

Does size matter?

Second instalment of the miniature museum, here we go!

After all the movie props, we had the actual miniature stuff.

Check out the origami...

And the really (really!) tiny cranes! (that opening was like an inch wide...or smaller. I can't really remember)

They were inside this

toothpick whittlings (I think they're toothpicks...)

through the magnifying glass

a shed

close up

"Paper cut silhouettes, entirely made with scissors in a piece of paper all in the block. This technique requires a high dexterity, and so that his hand does not tremble, the artist works by slow exhalations."
This is what's written on that sign above the exhibit...you get the gist of it.

mini-warriors

cutout building

Chinese cabinet

closer view...see how intricate it is?

some weird eggs

jazz ants

The strings of the guitar and double bass are made with the first white hairs of the artist ;)
(according to the sign below)

a fishing boat in a lightbulb

close up

odds and ends

more stuff

they're actually this tiny, behind the magnifying glass

food for midgets (er...actually not midgets...the tiny people :P )

looks good though

from another angle

and now fashion accessories for the tiny people

and games too...when you're small, you still gotta have fun ;P

they could be artistic as well...

and who knows what they've discovered in astronomy?

They'd need to build stuff...

with all kinds of tools

not forgetting music for entertainment...

nor fish for protein lol

inspect the fish for yourself

Then there was this scientist's lab. Does it look familiar to any of you? It does to me...



It's actually a 1/12 model of Professor Nimbus' lab. It sounds familiar as well...but I don't really know who's Professor Nimbus. Please let me know if you do...

And some more paper cutouts...I don't quite know how these were done. Maybe with several layers of coloured paper?

Fourvière with the river (see the mini Eiffel tower?)

Dan Ohlmann and the museum

Dan Ohlmann is the museum owner, I think...at any rate he's at least the boss :P You can check out the museum's website here.

But that's still not the end...next post will be about how they use the miniature stuff. ;)

Read part 3!
