When I first started trying my hand at making something in miniature(before sculpting) I came up with an idea of making a perfume shelf. I had so much fun putting this together even if I didn't know exactly what I was doing! As you can see I didn't use wood glue which was a big mistake. The wood on the back side has split over the years. I didn't realize either that you shouldn't really have a piece like this too glossy or it will not look right. I added a few images that I decoupaged and really loved how that turned out!! I have learned so much since this first attempt! Thank goodness!!! This piece is what began my addiction to miniatures!!! My obsession is still growing!!

I love your perfume shelf Patty. I love finding some of my earlier attempts at different mini projects. I hope you are having a great weekend. Hugs~ Kim
ReplyDeleteIsn't it wonderful to have 1st pieces lying around ? It brings back fond thoughts about why we began what has now become an obsession for some of us.
ReplyDeleteI am very impressed with your 1st attempt Mine was nowhere near as accomplished as these. I can see why it started the craze for you. Frame this up and put it near where you work on your minis :). It's an inspiring piece!
This is beauiful, Patty and even the crack has a charm to it.
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous, what a great first attempt.
