Dollhouse Miniature Tea with Fairies Cabinet 1/12 scale
Hello, back with another cutie patootie cabinet in the fairy theme.
Also, I just wanted everyone to know that I will soon be switching focus to smaller individual miniature accessories because I don't have enough time in my personal life to complete these larger pieces at the moment. I can complete smaller items far better right now so that's what I'll be doing. I so love the creative process of working on whole decorated furniture pieces but I simply can't find the time. I'll be making things like small animals, potion bottles, spell boards, cauldrons, potted plants and flower arrangements, wands, etc. So it'll be small things for quite some time while we roll on our bathroom renovations. Tonight I'm picking up some tile for a bathroom sink backsplash area, and I'll be tilting a wall for the first time in my life. so exciting! I can't wait to see how it turns out :)
I'm about to leave home soon so I'll have to keep this short and sweet :)
Description:
I just love making little fairy cabinets! They're so darling :) I think this one turned out very well. It's rustic and charming, a little woodland tea cabinet with china and flowers abounding. I can really see this tucked into some woodland glade, hidden at the base of a tree :) Perhaps in a hollowed tree opening even. The top is decorated thus:
Pumpkin stack with vines, red cap mushrooms, a woodland flower arrangement, a tall pillar candle in holder, snail shells, mosses, and a fantastic tiny fairy castle in weathered greens and brown with rustic red and white spotted roof spires as though they were made of mushroom heads :) It's not photographing well, it's so much cooler in person.
The middle section of the cabinet includes:
Teapot, teacup, platter, a bronze mantle clock, floral arrangements, a framed portrait of a flower fairy, crystals, seashell, drippy candle, mosses, a running rabbit figurine, a tiny mushroom bird.
The outside of the cabinet is mossy, vined, and has one small mushroom growing from the base. Too cute!

Dollhouse Miniature Mermaid Cove Seashell Cabinet
Hi everyone :) How have you all been this summer? I hope you've had a great one!
We're still working on our old farmhouse, and that has really kept me away from minis for quite some time. I'm really trying to fit some mini work in when I can, which is few and far between still at this point. I'm on a beachy, ocean kick. We're doing our bathrooms nautical inspired, after a recent trip to the ocean. We were reminded of how much we love it there. Here in Illinois we don't have much of an ocean view, so I'm bringing all things related to the sea to us :) It's fun, and we all love it. Here's a photo feed of the kinds of fun things we're getting for our new bathrooms if anyone likes nautical things:
http://s651.photobucket.com/user/tara_yvonne_photos/library/Old%20farmhouse%20renovation?sort=2&page=1
So in the middle of designing a couple of nautical bathrooms, it made me want to make a nautical mini. I started by painting the cabinet a weathered gray because it's a nice light nautical base color. I pearlized the handles, added sparkling sands, beach glass, seashells of all kinds, a hand-made seashell topper for the cabinet which looks like a nautical crown of sorts. There are treasures abounding all over the cabinet, the sort of thing a mermaid might pick up in her daily travels around the ocean. There are water plants growing from the sandy outcroppings of the cabinet, a ship in a bottle, jewels, two genuine stone dolphins, one in jade and the other in rose quartz. The top of the cabinet sports a lovely seashell flower arrangement with gray pearl, a cute vintage photo of a mermaid child, and a basket of beachy flowers and seashells. A gorgeous framed copy of Waterhouse's "The Mermaid" painting graces the door of the cabinet which does not open (sand and plants in front of it).
Roughly 7 1/2 inches tall because of the greenery sticking up, the base is around 4 3/4 inches wide.

Dollhouse Miniature Witching Hour Witch Cooking Stove and Side Counter with Witchy Foods
Hello all, long time no see huh? So sorry, I've been so very busy! We've been working big time on our old farmhouse, and it hasn't left much time for mini making. I'll slowly be getting back into minis as I can. The kids are home from school right now, which also makes it tough to work. Someone always needs Mom lol.
I started this little witch stove and side counter ages ago, and it's been done for quite some time. I literally haven't had time to list it until now. Here's what I did: I took a stove and grungied it up to make it look more witchy, attached a side counter for more surface preparation area, tiled it and added the background scrolly circle panels to the back of the stove. Then came the fun part, the foods and accessories! A canister of living death draught, witchy "filled" bottles with deadly tags, a grungy clock that says "witching hour", a large kettle with bubbly green icky eyeball potion that has bubbled over the edge, a book of spells and potions with a vintage witch image on the front, a sauteing pan of buttery frog legs, a smaller kettle containing a boiling crow breast with magically pouring blue potion bottle (Hey, she is making some crow pie on the side counter after all :) an icky knife, a small old fashioned lamp, a bottle of flour, A standing recipe for crow pie with a decorative crow on top, a cutting board with a rolled out pie crust top and flour on it with a cute little toadstool rolling pin, and a half-finished crow pie which contains the called for crow breast meat, slices of boiled egg, and meaty gravy. It's so cute in person! Inside the stove on one side is the log fire, the other side has a baking roast with carrots, mushrooms, potatoes, and a bone in roast. Inside the side drawer of the counter are cooking utensils and a pot lid. A little gungy green checked towel completes the look.
The whole thing measures roughly 5 and half inches wide, just under five inches tall, and just over 2 1/2 inches deep.

Here's some rather bad photos, I didn't realize that after sitting so long it would have a bit of dust on it. I'll of course clean it all up if anyone wants it.
I wish I had time to reshoot the photos but I honestly don't have any time for anything right now. I can't even stay on here and chat, I have to go to town right now for more building supplies :(
Hugs everyone, I hope you have the BEST summer and may you all have nice vacations!

Back with a new Miniature Witch or Wizard Mucky Cauldron Tower :)
I've been long gone for awhile now, but I'm finally back to work. I had to take some time off for home improvements.
Here's what I made this time around, a stack of mucky cauldrons with left over potion in them, what a mess! I think these would look fabulous outside a witch or wizard shop, or even inside a wizard-themed room.
Here's the official description:
The piece roughly measures 4 1/4 inches wide at the base, a little over 5 inches tall, and is a little over 2 inches deep. It's completely hand made, all the cauldrons are hand sculpted, the owl is hand sculpted and painted. The little bottle of cauldron cleaner has a handmade brush for scrubbing the cauldrons out. The cauldrons are mucked up with left over potions, all dribbling and oozing over the sides of the cauldrons. I have a process uniquely my own for making vibrantly-colored faux water or in this case potion :) No one can reproduce this effect but me because I am the only one who knows the process. I personally feel this gives the best effect possible. These are so much better in person, I'm having a rough time taking photos due to the weather right now. Trust me when I say this miniature scene is very nice in person and anyone who buys it will be pleasantly surprised when they see it in person.
The floor is faux flagstone.

Ok so it's available here and it's ONE OF A KIND, please don't ask me to make this again anyone! It was time consuming, yikes.
I would like to draw attention to a charity campaign I just learned of called END7. Here's a video (it's disturbing, please be advised) for anyone to watch to see what it's about if you choose to:

Another miniature fairy cabinet :)
I was planning on taking a little break from fairy stuff but it has been selling so well that I thought I might as well keep going on it. This one is now available since I just finished it today. I thought I might do a fairy candy cabinet since I haven't made one in this theme yet.
\
\
I tore a cabinet apart and rebuilt some of it with bricks and moss. The pictures are always terrible this time of year because it's so cold, windy, and the light usually isn't great in the winter time. All of my items are really so much nicer in person but you can't tell by these :(
Anywho, this cabinet is available for now but all of these have been going FAST!
I had made this a few days ago and it's gone now, it sold right away:
Thanks everyone for your kind comments, I LOVE hearing your opinions!
Hugs-Tara, 19th Day Minis
