Miniature Giveaway #3 CLOSED - 100 Subscribers Celebration

I have over 100 subscribers! I'm excited to have you and so appreciative of the time you choose to spend reading my itty bitty adventures.

To celebrate, I'm having 4 giveaways - one per week during August. This is giveaway #3.

I love witch, wizard, Halloween stuff!  When I'm working on a project, I usually make more than I need.  This week's giveaway features items you can use in your spooky scene. 

 

I put the toothpick in the photo for an idea of scale (1/12th)

 

There are 2 leather books, a few stacks of papers, a crystal ball, a scroll, a few rolled and flat maps, assorted potion bottles, a skull, a mixing bowl, a magic wand, candles, and a bunch of other stuff.  My youngest son and I spent one afternoon making what seemed like a million candles from polymer clay.  It was a great project for a little person to feel included, and he did an amazing job!

 

For this giveaway, the lucky winner will get everything in the picture (except the floor). To participate in the drawing, please follow my blog and leave a comment on this post. At the end of the month, I will have a drawing for each post/giveaway and announce the winners!

Thank you so much!

Miniature Giveaway #2 CLOSED - 100 Subscribers Celebration

I have over 100 subscribers! I'm excited to have you and so appreciative of the time you choose to spend reading my itty bitty adventures.

To celebrate, I'm having 4 giveaways - one per week during August.  This is giveaway #2.   This adorable baby girl was purchased on ebay.  I cannot remember the artist, I've had the baby in my collection for a while.  The crib is not part of the giveaway, I'm including it in the picture to show you she's to scale (1/12th).

I love when babies stretch then curl up into a little ball.  The artist did a wonderful job capturing that precious moment.  The baby is sculpted from polymer clay, and she's got a little bit of baby hair on the top of her head.

For this giveaway, the lucky winner will get the doll and her pink blanket.  To participate in the drawing, please follow my blog and leave a comment on this post. At the end of the month, I will have a drawing for each post/giveaway and announce the winners!

Thank you so much!

Miniature Monday and My First BLOG GIVEAWAY!!

Last week, I was able to do my first Ustream show instructing other artists on how to create a simple miniature scene.  It was a thrilling experience.  I had a very supportive and energetic bunch cheering me on, including my 8 year old son/assistant!  Artists are so willing to learn new techniques.  Most of my viewers were not miniaturists, but I hope I changed that! 

The project, a faux book box that I picked up from Michael’s, was altered on the inside to include a 1/12^th scale miniature scene.  I demonstrated how to cut a false wall, create a window with foamcore and strips of wood, lay a wooden floor, install wallpaper, baseboard and crown moulding. The background behind the window is a magazine image of a peaceful garden.   

We also discussed using materials from sources other than Dollhouse Miniatures.  The chandelier is from an ephemera pack purchased in the scrapbook section of my craft store.  I glued gold beads where the flames should be.  The wallpaper is actually 2 sheets from a Mariposa paper pack. The little girl is a paper doll that I cut out and used Glossy Accents to give dimension to her hair, eyes, lips and shoes.  Almost every person I’ve watched streaming has a black cat, so I’ve included one in this scene. 

The table and vase of roses were from my collection.  I glued the lace cloth and accessories on the table; a cup of coffee/tea, a leather bound art journal, a book on creating still life art and a framed picture.  I also included framed pictures of victorian children on the walls (so cute!)

The general theme of February Ustream shows were “Love and Kindness.”  I tried to do my part by streaming to entertain all the wonderful artists who entertain me!    The other thing I’m doing is GIVING AWAY this wonderful project.  Everyone needs a miniature scene in their life!

 If you are interested in being entered in the drawing, please leave a comment on this post.  Everyone is eligible to enter!  In 3 weeks on 3/18/11, I will close the drawing and select a random winner from the pool of comments.   The winner announced will need to provide me with an address where I can ship the project.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Thanks for looking and good luck!
