Unfortunately for those of us who are not wizards, we gotta make Howl's bedroom the old fashioned way- from scratch with a bunch of trash. So here it finally is, two months in the making.
Printable books/door locations from this project: drive.google.com/file/d/1_htY... (for scale reference, the Howl figure in this is 2 5/8" tall)
The editable photoshop document (and all assets from my other projects) will be available over on patreon: / mechanicalfiend

The tiny horseshoe on the Studson book! It feels appropriate to put such a cursed item on Howl's bookshelf.

@MechanicalFiend Год назад

It had to be done! Wait... does this mean that tiny Howl is cursed now? Should I be expecting to find horseshoes in odd places?

@Gandellion Год назад

I love Howl’s bedroom, it’s somehow a very calming chaos.

@MechanicalFiend Год назад

That's exactly it- it's a mess, but also the most comforting space because of it. They really nailed the design, it's beautiful~

Just like Howl in my opinion

@MechanicalFiend Год назад

Ahhhhh oh my goodness that is too nice! I always have so much fun working on both the projects and the videos. Hearing that someone thought it was magical is truly the biggest compliment, thank you so much~

@camille_la_chenille Год назад

This is breathtaking! Howl's bedroom is one of the most fascinating sets of the movie and we get to see it for so little time. You managed so well to identify the key elements and then evoke the rest of the wimsical, otherwordly clutter with what you had. The final result just screams Howl and I want to shrink enough to actually enter the tin.

@MechanicalFiend Год назад

Yes! It's been my favorite Ghibli space since I first saw it, just so many beautiful details (for such a short scene!)... though I get it, animating all of that must have been quite the task. I am so honored that you thought so, it's definitely a tricky space to get right. Glad you could enjoy and of course, thank you so much for all the super kind words~

@willowthewisperer Год назад

The fact that you included the patreon members in the books.❤❤❤❤❤ fam, my heart, that is the sweetest thing ever.

@MechanicalFiend Год назад

@MechanicalFiend Год назад

I am incredibly honored that you thought so, it's such a tricky space to get right (whether building in miniature or painting). But I'm so glad to hear that it wasn't a total disservice to the film. Tried my best haha! Thank you for all the super kind words~

@Amiabenson Год назад

You know when you’re little you have moments that make life feel so special, they make you feel something.. and then you get older and it becomes a sweet nostalgic moment that you think on at times and your heart is so full.. as a 23year old.. this will be my nostalgic moment for when I’m older. This made my heart so full🤎

@MechanicalFiend Год назад

You're trying to make me cry here, aren't you? Ahh, seriously... You have made my heart so full in return, I think that's one of the most wonderful things anyone has ever said. Cannot even say in words how much it means to hear that 💜

@MugiwaraNoBoujee Год назад

I love your attention to detail, it really makes me happy to see your passionate crafting process! Incredible work 🙌

@MechanicalFiend Год назад

@MugiwaraNoBoujee Год назад

I’m the same way so it’s kind of comforting to watch

@MugiwaraNoBoujee Год назад

Hahahaha I would never, 30 minutes of April Fools? That would be cruel!

@Moonguided Год назад

I've never seen Howl's Moving Castle, but I had the biggest, dopiest smile on my face watching the reveal because of how much love I was witnessing. Your passion for the movie is a joy to watch, even as a total outsider. You are an INCREDIBLE crafter and I have been so, so inspired by you. Your solutions, like the bead spacer and masking tape as the gramophone? Absolutely amazing. This video has made me so unbelievably excited to get back to my own projects I've had to pause. Just like, literally thank you for being you and for making the things that make you happy. Your joy radiates and I feel better than I did before I clicked on this video.

@MechanicalFiend Год назад

It always makes me the happiest to hear that people can enjoy the projects regardless of having seen the source content. Thank you so much for giving it a watch even though you haven't seen the movie! You are really too kind, I'm so glad to hear anything I do could be even slightly inspiring for your own projects. The gramophone turned out came together better than expected when I first started making it haha! Not at all, thank you so much for saying all of that because it truly inspires me in return to work harder and hopefully make better videos for you in the future. Sending you all the good crafting energy for your projects~

@spiderbeam Год назад

your eye for detail is absolutely stunning! fun fact, I'm pretty sure all the eye based charms and items are to hide him and protect him from people trying to find him- the Witch of the Waste, yes, but also Madam Suleiman and the King. he's built his whole career doing exactly what he wants and is at this point far too competent to escape the war, according to the authorities anyway...

@MechanicalFiend Год назад

Ahh well thank you so much! I didn't even make half of the stuff in his full room in the movie, the sheer amount of detail is mind blowing. Yes! I'm also pretty sure he has all the toys in his room because his heart is still a child's since he took the contract with Calcifer when he was a kid. Such cool stuff!

Wow, this came out great! I love the bookshelf, and the fact that you took your time to create all those personal books! Such a great touch to those that support you! Shamingly enough, I have only seen this movie once but it was a great movie from what I do recall. I should really give it another watch some time soon.

@MechanicalFiend Год назад

Thank you so much! I always try super hard to think of fun ways to incorporate everyone that supports the channel, the books were just the perfect opportunity haha! Totally give it a rewatch if you are interested, like most Ghibli movies it never fails to leave me feeling inspired after~

@joemakesmodels6640 Год назад

Howls room looks like one of those old “I Spy” books

@MechanicalFiend Год назад

100%, which probably explains why I love it so much- was and am still obsessed with I Spy books and all of Walter Wick's work. They were the gateway to miniature making from a super young age!

@penelopechristian4850 Год назад

This is something I think has never been said to you before. You look like the best friend from the Princess Diaries movie and I am living for it

@MechanicalFiend Год назад

You know what, I actually think one person has said that before believe it or not haha! Don't know how much I see it, but I'm not mad about it!

@TeamVampireHunterD Год назад

I think I have a phrase for the type of cozy disaster that is Howl's room: a Hygge Hord!

@BentleyHouseMinis Год назад

My brain immediately agreed with your brain that YES, painting it first was the way to go! That's the only way I can imagine taking in all the details that making up this magical room! I love so many things about how you created this piece but I have to say all of the hand painted fabrics and wallpapers were my favorite! They were really beautiful and set the tone before anything went inside🤩

@MechanicalFiend Год назад

The painting definitely felt so necessary on this one, it seriously helped immensely to wrap my brain around all the details that are packed in there! Thank you so much! Really happy you liked them- I actually find so much joy in hand-painting fabrics and wallpaper patterns, it's so much fun~

@gvymamdvcnj131309 Год назад

I’m painting a ghibli themed box for my sister with every side being a different scene from a different movie, and I was just telling someone the other day that I would love to paint Howl’s room on it but I don’t have that much patience. I’m glad I could experience it vicariously lololol

@MechanicalFiend Год назад

Markl is so funny in the movie, I love that he acts like he's this scary wizard when he's really just a kid trying to hide stuff in his room from Sophie cleaning. He has such a good heart, definitely a worthy choice for a favorite!

@rachealgetscreative Год назад

Have never actually watched Howl's Moving Castle, but now, I think I must. What an uber-mega-maximalist he is! :) Love all the many bits and the names on the books!!! I also like the height of his room in your tin. Adds to the grandeur of it all. Well done!

@MechanicalFiend Год назад

I really do recommend it, it's a fantastic film! He totally is and I love him for it haha! Working on all the books was so much fun, it was the best to be able to include everyone in the project even in a small way. Definitely had to adjust and accommodate several things because of the shape of the tin- so glad you liked it!

@nedanother9382 Год назад

Awesome work, Howls room was always awesome to just pause and look at. Arrietty's Bedroom is like Howls in a way just less pretties in her room. I always liked Sophie's hat shop room its pretty to.

@MechanicalFiend Год назад

From working on parts of both Howl's Bedroom and Arrietty's- they are both absolutely beautiful, Howl's room is just 50x more complicated and filled with stuff lol. They know how to design a good space over at Studio Ghibli! I love the hat shop as well, so many wonderful details and colors~

It honestly was just a big excuse so that I didn't have to figure out how to make it in full 3D haha! Glad you could enjoy it~

Wow, I wish I could shrink myself and live in that room, its sooo beautiful!

@MechanicalFiend Год назад

I wish I could live in the miniatures all the time lol, would be much easier than affording an actual house! Ahh that is very kind of you to say, his room is just one of the loveliest designed spaces, it's gorgeous!

@definitelyhooman7939 Год назад

I'm not trying to be dramatic, this is quite honestly one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen

@MechanicalFiend Год назад

I'm also not trying to be dramatic, that is one of the nicest things anyone has ever said... ahh thank you so much! That's seriously too kind, super happy you thought so~

@sophiahodgson85 Год назад

I say it’s mandatory that you paint it first!! Your painting is beautiful!!

@joshp7477 Год назад

You could try cutting the craft foam/foam core into book width long strips and then gluing multiple book covers onto the edge of the strip in one go and then cutting them off the strip. Helps to expedite the tedious job of miniature book making by keeping the processes grouped together, or so I've found, haha

@MechanicalFiend Год назад

Ahhh that would be another good way to do it! I cut a bunch of the sized foam pieces first and then just assembled them, which worked pretty well too. That sounds like a quick method though!

@Kadaena Год назад

Some types of fabric like cotton is sometimes cut with a special pair of scissors that creates the zig zag because it reduces fraying on the edges.

@MechanicalFiend Год назад

Ahhh yes, I've had a couple of people mention that now and everything makes so much sense! That's actually really cool, thank you for the info~

@Stella-os4bo Год назад

Wow, what a beautiful colordful miniature you have created ! It is amazing to witness you creating and see your thought process ! Howl would put this miniature cookie tin in his room ;)

@MechanicalFiend Год назад

Ahhh that is all too kind- it would be an honor for it to be in his room of magical items haha! So happy you could enjoy it, this was such a dream project for me~

@ShanonSaunders Год назад

Oo oo oo actually know something! The zig zag cut on the fabric is from with a type of scissor called pinking shears. They keep the fabric from fraying 🙏

@MechanicalFiend Год назад

Yes! It all makes so much sense now, a couple of people have mentioned that- super cool! Thank you so much for the info, I'll definitely be storing that away in case I'm ever foraying into some kind of fabric arts in the future haha~

I will never not love that you make things even knowing that those details won't show--because you know they're there, and that you made them, and that is enough. Thank you for sharing your work with us here.

@MechanicalFiend Год назад

I am so glad other people enjoy that, it's actually nice that people see the process in the videos and know about the tiny details as well. Feels like we are all in on a little secret or something haha! Packing all those tiny details into projects is just part of the magic for me. Thank you for spending a little time with me to build a project~

@eternalrebirth333 Год назад

Painted a whole art project to do an art project talk about being an artist... I do the same thing... I build something so I can build some things so I can build something.... lol I'm so jealous of your painting skills to it was so beautiful.

@MechanicalFiend Год назад

It's so necessary for complicated projects though, at least for me. Really helps my brain to understand how to build it better! Ahh well thank you, I always say this, but I'm really still trying to develop my painting skills as they're lacking in a lot of areas. Appreciate you saying that so much though~

@CajunCraftastrophe Год назад

Dang, you CRAZY! Wow, what an undertaking. The project came out so well and I love how you can make things that look both loose and tight at the same time. Not easy, Every one of your videos is so inspiring to me. Does the Black Magic camera look good? YES! Amazing in fact. Does it look better than before? I don't know... to be honest, your cinematography has always been so good that I simply can't tell. It all looks fantastic. I really fell in love with the way that you made the little books, the foam is a perfect solution for the inside and the covers look sweet. Also, keep on rocking that puffy paint! You've got a way with it! : ) The whole segment with you drawing was beautiful and relaxing. I so enjoy watching your videos, D. Wow again.

@MechanicalFiend Год назад

It was a huge project and yet I barely made a quarter of his room- the amount of beautiful details they packed in there is astounding. So glad to hear the camera at least looks as good as before haha! Honestly you can get great shots out of pretty much any camera, but it's been really fun to work with something new. Even though the books took quite a while, they were so fun to design and put together! Ahhh thank you so much as always, I know I've already said this, but your comments never fail to make me feel motivated and inspired to do better. It really means a lot coming from someone whose videos I enjoy so much in return~

@CajunCraftastrophe Год назад

@@MechanicalFiend Thank you, Fiend! It's easy to leave nice comments for you... because I mean them! : )

@lamipurpure7992 Год назад

The zigzag edge on the fabric is called pinking! You can buy scissors that cut it that way (pinking shears) - the purpose of cutting fabric like that is to help minimize fraying on woven fabrics like that red fabric lol

@thatonetransguy8216 Год назад

I'm so upset that I hadn't watched this before now. This is genuinely beautiful and I'm in awe of how much detail you put in. It's actually incredible. But for my favorite character... it's a tough competition between Howl and Calcifer. Calcifer is so smarmy and I love that about him. With Howl, he and I are very much the same personality wise. I want Calcifer as a best friend, I want Howl as my soulmate so it's real tough.

@patriciasanvictores4530 Год назад

The red fabric was most likely cut using pinking shears! Those are sewing scissors that have a zigzag edge on them so the fabric doesn't fray! I'm very glad you've decided to try your hand at this project as well! I saw Miss Mini Life's version after getting recommended it by Studson Studios and I was very much hoping to see you do the same! (Though I may be biased since I already adore your vibrant style) Thank you so much for sharing!

@MechanicalFiend Год назад

Yes! I've had a couple comments about that now, that makes so much sense! I'm glad to know now, might actually come in handy to know that for future projects with fabric, thank you for the info! Her version was so beautiful and 100% inspired me to finally work on this after planning it for years now lol. I love her channel so much! Thank you for giving it a watch, it was the dream project on my list, so I'm really happy to have finally made it~
