Dollhouse Miniatures: Jewelry & Clock Shop 1:12 scale




miniature jewelry shop



Dollhouse Miniatures: jewelry and clock shop 1 :12 scale room box. As if I don't spend enough time making jewelry,  I just had to make a miniature jewelry and clock shop! The  jeweler's bench,  cabinet and case I made by hand. The chairs in the front were resin Christmas ornaments! I made a lot of the clocks from old watches and buttons. It is kind of tough making jewelry to scale; these jewels would be giant in real life! The FabergĂ© eggs were fun to make from Fimo clay, beads, rhinestones and findings.

Upcycled Wall Art Project

CD wall art



Here is my upcycled CD wall art project. I made this to brighten up our dark office. It certainly does that but would even be more effective with a couple more panels!  I started with a 15x30" canvas and painted it  lime green.  I had a container of Weldbond glue and applied it on thick:

I let the glue dry a couple days before hanging. Here it is in the corner opposite the window. What do you think... maybe a couple more panels, one violet and one turquoise or keep it all green? This could look fun in an entertainment or music room too!

This is the living room of my Greenleaf Beacon Hill dollhouse.  This room I change a lot; you will notice different rugsSometimes I will move the piano out because it takes up so much room. To see more of the outside,  see part 1 of my Victorian Dollhouse Miniatures.

Victorian Dollhouse Miniatures, Part One


via GIPHY
 


Victorian Dollhouse Miniatures. This was my first and only 1:12 scale dollhouse I made many years ago from a Greenleaf kit. It took me some time to build, then it sat for a year before I painted it, then it sat for another year before I wired and furnished it!  Right now the furniture is still in boxes after moving,  I think it has been about four years! That is Tuffy our Russian Blue cat who passed just a couple months ago, she was 19 1/2 years old. I was amazed how she could get inside the living room and barely tip anything over!

In the next coming posts I will show you the interior plus some of the room boxes and gardens I have done so stay tuned!

Retro Earrings and Hair Sticks

dangle earrings




Retro bead dangle earrings, fun hairsticks
made with my favorite vintage beads from
Austria. I am always searching for unique
beads; I found these very cool, big 20mm
Baroque style lucite beads that are
perfect for today's styles. Fun & funky,
you can dress them up with a cool retro
dress or they look great with jeans and a
t-shirt. The hair sticks are perfect for a messy
bun that is so popular today
