This is a project that I've been working on slowly but surely over the past year or so. I got the original idea looking at different type of CPCs, mocking up Small Crown and Large Crown ideas that would possibly be stamped, The original idea that I had in mind would've been some sort of vintage, OG look and "feel" to what would've possibly been ordered in the 60s or somewhere around that area.
My family is from Finland and that's where everyone resides. I have some family in Dallas, but everyone else is in Finland which makes it hard to see them at times. We are mainly the ones traveling there so when we have time and save up which is every couple of years we take a few weeks during summer and go visit, take it easy and do what we can. My grandparents are no longer with us anymore, but luckily we still have lots of things/items that we can remember them by. Memories being the top thing. They owned (we still own) a cabin/land that's about a half hour away from my parents hometown and we go there at times to check up on things, step back in time essentially and take it easy. When I saw you are stepping back in time, you quite literally are. There were newspapers from the 60s/70s at the top of the barn last time I went up there, the stove is an all metal stove/oven built into the wall, you heat things up with wood and fire underneath the "stove" and make things that way. There isn't a TV in there from what I remember and it's just so nice. Nothing to worry about there, it's relaxing and somewhere I wouldn't mind spending a few days out of the year.
This "Varkaus Huone" (literal translation being Varkaus Room or the Varkaus Room) set is what I'd think of an ideal set that would be played with in there.
I'd want something to start with and that's why I was thinking about moving forward with ceramics before I jump into a CPC set in a few years which would be custom stamped to get that actual older feel etc.
Any input, criticism and so on would be greatly appreciated to bring this set to life.
I've got two different versions of $25s because I'm not very set on what I'd like. These will be made on the new SmCrown hybrid, so keep that in mind.
