Just wanted to share of few things I have been testing out for the shop. It took me a few times to get it right, but I can now say that I am happy with the results. I will be making a bunch of each to add to the shop.
First, Miniature Dollhouse Wreaths. (this one is listed,
Etsy shop) A friend mentioned I should make wreaths in miniature. I thought the idea was great, so off to Michaels. I purchased both natural and green moss. Once I made the wreaths, I needed to decorate them…this is the hard part. For this example, I made grapes with clay. Oh my, it took forever to make those little balls! (
I really do admire miniature food artist). Although I am still working out the decorating part, I'm excited about the possibilities.
Of course, I needed a door to display the wreaths, so I decided to try my hand at making one. Super simple to make and I can visualize several different designs and uses for this type of door (
stay tuned!).
Next, Miniature Dollhouse Wall Shelf with Rusted Bar. This design has been on my mind for months. I got a little bored with making chairs (
I have several to get back to), so it was the perfect opportunity to give this a try. I think the shelf turned out great and will be making a bunch of these in several different Annie Sloan Chalk Paint colors. I also wanted to accessorize it a little. I remember reading on Liberty's page how to make fabric look more natural by giving it a glue bath and using pins to give it a gathered look. I gave it a try on the towel (
still need to play around with it a little more). Thanx Liberty:).
Finally, I love, love vintage can canisters. I've alway wanted to make them, but did not want the tedious job of gluing paper together. Well, I found the perfect cylinder and "viola". This is just one of a set of three; sugar, coffee and tea. I have big plans for these little sets. I will have them in many colors in vintage and french styles.
It's been a fun week. I have to admit that I had to order a magnifier to carry on. This work is super, super tedious. My eyes are exhausted, but I am really looking forward to the next few weeks of work and getting these items listed in the shop.
