Miniature room

My latest miniature piece started looking like this.

Bit too nice isn't it?

That's better.

Someone's got some rage!

Fist through the wall, broken photo frames, knocked over chair.

Letters and photos scattered. 

The plants been knocked over too.

I used a real piece of plant for this but it's already wilting and shrivelled so I'll either have to keep replacing it or find a way to make a fake plant.

There's the clock you've already seen, and I got to make some more mini books.

Have you seen the latest trend of starburst clocks?

Well my latest miniature piece even has one!

I kind of love it.

It was pretty simple to make too.

I had a little metal disc in my box of shiny things so I just glued bits of the wire to the back and added a clock face.

I used a small piece of thin jewellery wire for the clock hands and added seed beads around the edge for decoration.

And to show you just how tiny it is, here are my grubby painty fingers to give you a sense of scale.

Miniature clock

I'm currently working on a commissioned miniature for a friend and this is a sneak peek of part of it.

A miniature clock.

It started out like this; a little diagram showing how many pieces the clock would be made of and the size of them.

Then I measured and cut out the cardboard pieces and labelled them corresponding to the diagram.

When working on this scale it's easy to loose bits so I like to be organised.

I used PVA glue to stick all the components together.

Then I painted the clock and added the details like the clock face which I bordered with a jump ring, and the handle and feet which I made out of wire.

It's so tiny!
