I'm feeling a little low today, you remember I said I was waiting on a few more items for my mid century diorama, well the parcel arrived a few days ago, but what I ordered was not what was inside. Instead was these . . . a teeny tiny car, a teeny tiny truck and plastic sheet!
Needless to say, I was really disappointed and immediately contacted the supplier who has continued to give me the run around for the past two days. After thinking about what I ordered and considering that the supplier could not give a care, I have requested a complete refund. Whether I receive one or not is completely in the hands of God and I'm certainly not wasting any more money by returning unrequested items.
BEWARE of "Shop910680008 Store" on AliExpress. After several messages back and forth to AliExpress, they (not the store) FINALLY refunded my money.
Hubby will make the wooden items I require to complete the diorama and I will do the rest myself, which is something I should have done in the first place and probably would have done if I wasn't so impatient to finish this diorama and move on to the next before I lose the inspiration.
On the upside, my backdrops arrived and look great! So much so, I'm going to order a few more. The high resolution photos I chose were completely royalty free from Pexels and I had them printed as A2 wall art posters by Vista Print, which I need for the large mid-century windows. I then stuck them on 3mm MDF using adhesive spray . . . one image on each side. Of course if I was going to use Pexels photos for smaller windows, I'd just print them myself on A4 photo paper.
Here's another sneak preview to tide you over. Of course sneak previews are just that, they are not finished rooms. However, in saying that, it doesn't mean my girls will wait until it is, to have a photoshoot. :) I think Holly is looking a little peeved she didn't get any cake!
Still waiting On: Rugs, wall art, curtains & a more proportioned backdrop.
Happy weekend to all!
