Second Prize Winner

Great news!!!...my little baby shop vignette won second place with the National Assoc. of Miniature Enthusiast's contest. Thank you to all my great friends from the Bluegrass Miniature Society for the outstanding support and encouragement. Yippe!!!

Christmas Vignette

A vignette measuring 9"W x 7"H x 5"D. This scene was made around the Christmas tree which was a challenge given to us by our Club's president. The challenge was to build a scene around the tree which is made of glass. I covered the tree with green turf used for miniature landscaping. The front of the box will be attached to a photo frame and later hang on a wall.

The cute kitty was a gift from my mother long time ago...I knew I would fine the perfect spot for it. The fire screen is hand-painted by Rosemarie Torre.

Thanks for looking and have a great day,

Annie

Finished Lamp

This little room is "the craft room"

As promised, here are some photos of my completed lamp. This lamp was a club project, made with picture frames for the actual room. Using a lamp kit and thanks to the ingenuity of my dear Joe who did the "wiring" for the room, I have a working lamp!!!

I am yet to add or I should say make the books that will go on the hutch's empty shelve :)

Enjoy it!!

Annie

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Wishing you peace, love, good health and the company of friends now and in the New Year.

Cheers,

Annie

Victorian Dollhouse

And...here it is, my lovely Victorian dollhouse. This was my first dollhouse given to me by my honey, Joe.
It is made from a kit by Greenleaf ; however, I have been changing, altering, etc. many things with this house in order to suit my taste. Currently, I am getting ready to make the parquet floor for the library (upper far right room). For this, I will be using Mahogany, Cherry and Oak veneers...; I am eager to see the results! Later on, I'll start with the inside trim work.

This is a big house and so it is the work involved but it is all worth it! Thank you for looking at my biggest project, yet.

Have a great day!

Annie

Club Project

Here I have some photos of my Miniature Club's project: A lamp made out of photo frames. It is made by gluing three frames, and attaching the fourth one with hinges so there is access to the mini scene. The frames used to be dark brown and I painted them white (about four coats + primer) ...and gave them a distressed look. The frame's openings are 5"x7"; however, you might use whatever size fits your taste.

My lamp is supposed to be the workshop room (1/12" scale). So far, I got most of the furniture done, and as you can see, I am using the much liked Shabby Chic look.

I'll post photos of the completed lamp later on. Thanks for looking and have a great day!!!
