I Spy Answers

Here you can find the answers to the I Spy Games. Be sure not to peek until you are for sure stumped and can’t find the object. 🙂

How’d She Do That

In this category I will show you some Tips and Tricks that I have learned through the years. I hope you can use some of them to make great pictures and scenes. If more details are needed just leave a comment and I can go further in depth.

The Return of the Knights 22

The Return of the Knights

This small diorama I did outside in the winter with real snow on the ground. I was experimenting with some new sets and parts from PlayMoebius that I got for Christmas. It was just a quick set up but I hope you enjoyed it.

Let’s Play I Spy

In this post we can have some fun. One of my favorite kind of games are the ones where you have to find the hidden objects. I think I have gone through every I Spy book out there and even some of their computer games. I thought it would be a lot of fun to make a Playmobil I Spy. So here it is; see if you can find all the hidden objects on your own. If you have trouble, just check back in a couple of weeks and I will post the answers for you.

The Abandoned Keep 1

The Abandoned Keep

This was a little setting I did for a scene in a story called “The Gift”. It is an abandoned medieval castle or keep. These pictures were taken outdoors with natural lighting. I set up the scene in an old silo we have on our farm. There is a lot of moss in the silo so it made everything nice and green like it had been there for awhile.

The Train Robbery 2

The Train Robbery

This is a short western story that takes place on a train. I had made this small diorama just to get one picture and ended up making it into a short story.

Settling in for the Night 5

Settling in for the Night

Back in January 2013, during the Christmas holidays, my husband took some of his favorite custom soldiers outside in the snow and made a little setting. It was quite cold outside and hard to keep your hands exposed to the cold while holding the camera. He set it all up and I took the pictures and did the editing. Enjoy and be glad you are not in the cold.

The Fisherman 5

The Fisherman

Here is a little something I did a few years ago.  I thought it would be neat to take some pictures in the pond where you could see the fish in the water.

Victorian Lady 1

Figures

This is a collection of custom klickies that we have made down through the years. They have been done by different members of our family so I will specify on each picture who created it. There will be multiple themes in this category so you will probably see a little bit of everything.
