The next step would be to make my lamp post, first of all i didn't really know where to start in making my lamp post it was going to be very detailed and had to still fit the scale. My first ideas was maybe to use a tube and build up around it and shape and sculpt the detail maybe using something like Milliput as it would be strong and would take paint well, but when i found my bins i can across different pieces of turned wood that would be use as banisters in dolls house and decorative features seen above and that when i had the idea of playing around with all the different piece sawing section of different parts and hot gluing it all together to build up my lamp post it was perfect, so i started to saw of different sections and play around with it all until i came up with my final structure and i hot glued it all together. Next tho i faced a problem i didn't really know how i was going to be able to create the curved top where the light hangs from, so i had to experiment with different materials as seen above which where a piece of wire twisted round and bent, which would of worked as it was to heavy compare to the wood, then a arm of a candle stick from a previous project but again as it was metal it was to heavy and i was unable to glue it to the wood and to be honest it was out of proportion to the rest of the lamp post. I had to turn back to my research to see if there was any lamp posts that where up right but there wasn't but there was ones that instead of curved it came straight out at an right angle. so using left over piece from what i had used before i just created a different shaped lamp post and this really worked its seen in picture 5. Now i just left the lamp post to fully dry and then i could paint it, using Acrylic paint i mixed up black and a midnight blue to create the of black colour i wanted and then evenly painted the lamp post. When painting the light i felt it would look better with a glow as if it was on at night so referring back to my research i mixed together a mustard yellow and white to create a glowing light, i made the bottom of the light darker to create a age to the lamp as there would of been dirt gathering up at the bottom which would cause the glow to be darker in this area. Now my lamp post was finished i went on to making my signs. Using a strong white card i measured out the sign in proportion to the lamp and then painted. for the fine detail and metal trimming i used a fine liner black pen and a silver gel pen, which was very effective. I wrapped the card signs around the lamp and glued using the glue i had previously glued my box with and that was it my lamp post was complete.
