New Artwork

New Artwork

I cut out some new artwork from a Country Living magazine, a birds poster and a color wheel poster, and created some fun spaces with them.

I saved a bit of packaging that resembles a couch for this scene.  I won't likely keep it but it sort of works.

 

More Dollar Tree Miniatures and Pictures from the Music Festival

Dollar Tree Miniatures

I made a few purchases at the Dollar Tree recently and thought I'd share my finding with you.  First thing I picked up was this little doll furniture set.  It's a different scale than what I do but I thought I could do something with the lamp.

Decor balls

I also picked up these little decorative balls.  They are about the size of a quarter.  I have no idea how I'll use them so if you all have some ideas, please share with the rest of the class.

And last I found these ribbons which I just love.  I'm think pillows?  Maybe a table runner?  We'll see.

Last, I thought I'd share some of the pictures from the music festival this weekend:

Trash To Treasure: Miniature Art Work

trash to treasure miniature art

This magazine was given to me.  Which makes for free miniature art.  I cut out my favorite pieces.

Then I backed them with a cereal box.

The largest piece is my favorite!  I love, love it!

diy miniature laundry basket

Also, you'll notice in this scene, I made a laundry basket out of a lid from a mouth wash bottle.

Free, is my favorite kind of minis.

Trash To Treasure: DIY Miniature Chair

I'm very happy with myself at the moment.  I wasn't certain it would work out but I am pleased with the results of my new chair.

This is how is started.  I cut it from an old softener bottle.

Then I covered it with an old rag with tacky glue.

Last, I added legs and a pillow.  So what do you think?

Dollar General Miniatures

Dollar General Miniatures

Someone on one of my Facebook dollhouse fan pages mentioned that Dollar General had some $1 miniatures so I had to go take a look and look at what I found!  I would have gotten a lot more if I had the money at the time.

boy and girl dolls

I also picked up these sweet little dolls that I'd like to try and do something with.  

Forever Playing With Minis

Sometimes its more fun not to have a goal in mind but to just play with your minis.  In this case, I'm playing around with my new artwork and matching them to the different bead bottles I have.

I picked up the butterfly mirror at the Dollar Tree.

I have a gallon sized bag full of beads.

Some from the Dollar Tree, some 2nd hand, some from broken jewelry, some given to me.

I have plenty of color choices to pick from.

Many different shapes to work with.

My favorites are my wooden beads.

Which color combo is your favorite?

Before I go, I just wanted to thank all of you for following along with me and my minis this year and I look forward to another fun mini making year in 2019.  Happy New Year to all!

Another Miniature Lady's Bedroom

I really need to come up with better names for these miniature scenes.

miniature bedroom

I brought my mini screen back out and used the colors in it to create this bedroom scene.

Both of the dressers were from the Dollar Tree.  I made the lamps, the bottles and the tissue box.

miniature nightstand

The nightstand is a napkin ring with a mirror from a broken makeup compact.  I also made the bottle and book.

I should also mention that this is the same temporary room from previous posts, but I've added some paint to the walls and the carpet is some scrap carpeting from my husband's workplace.  And the carpet is removable if I ever want to change it out.

I made the bed using broken pieces and cardboard.  The bedding is a handkerchief and the orange blanket on the bench is a eye glass cleaning cloth also from the Dollar Tree.
