More about our Ornamental Room Screen kit:
This adorable little 1/12th scale room screen will be handmade especially for you when ordered. Once cut out, it is meticulously hand-sanded and prepared with the hinges applied. The tiny metal hinges are very delicate so take care when handling. It is unfinished to allow you to choose the finish you would like to apply. It will be cut from solid Basswood or Cherry with a recess in the center suitable for inserting a petit point project or your favorite fabric or artwork. *PLEASE NOTE* - THESE SCREENS ARE MINIATURE, NOT LIFE-SIZED. THEY ARE INTENDED FOR COLLECTORS AND ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN.
Overall screen measurements when flat:
If you are choosing to paint your screen, I recommend you purchase the Basswood version. Basswood is perfect for miniatures as the grain does not show much and stains or paints well, but if you are looking for a higher-end version, the Cherry is for you. The Cherry version sands much smoother than the basswood initially, but the basswood can be sanded again after painting to remove any slight "fuzziness" of the wood before applying your last coat of paint. The Cherry version will be cut from Quarter-sawn Cherry in order to have the smallest grain possible and more fitting to a 1/12th scale item.
Included in the listing photos is an example of what a finished screen could look like. I finished this one for my daughter who chose the picture for me to print onto printable fabric. As this particular screen will never be sold, she chose a picture that has been used in a Diamond Art Embroidery Painting design. I believe the artist's name is Sung Kiat, but it is a little difficult to read, so I am not positive.
If you like the design of the screen, but do not wish to put a fabric, picture or stitched insert into it, you may order it be made without the recess. These will cost a little less as the screen will not take as long to make. Keep in mind that only the design lines or patterns will be on the screen so you may choose to have it with the recess even if not putting a picture or stitched insert into it in order to preserve the look of the screen.
