You Light Up My Life



This foam core and bead chandelier took me three days to make!  I definitely wouldn't cut the mustard as a seller of handicrafts... I would starve to death because of my slow speed and low productivity... it certainly didn't help that I was watching Glee on Netflix the whole time!  I have such a crush on Kurt.  But it could never be.  Alas, I think he would enjoy ballroom dancing with a miniature me under this beautiful sparkly creation!

Grandfather Clock

Just finished this one today, it makes for a nice addition to my little 'room'.  I wish this clock stood in my front hall and that I could listen to it's soft chimes while I went to sleep.  But probably if I put it on the floor there someone would squish it, ha ha!

Vanity



Here's a little something fun I made.... I collected some antique Sotheby's catalogues from the Strand Bookshop and picked through to find some of the most beautiful furniture to build on a miniature scale.  This is part of a set I would like to complete that could include wall sconces, a little chandelier, a chaise, and a folding screen as a backdrop.  A proper lady's boudoir.  Made from glue, sharpie marker, and foam core.  The ring inside the drawer was a gift on my wedding day.  It's big and heavy and I love wearing it on my unpolished fingers at all the wrong times!
