New curiosities

I came back this Sunday from the new City of London Dollshouse Festival with some new findings.
Today I'll show you the pieces I bought for my Curiosities Cabinet.

 





Once more, Cilla Albert, from Minst.com, has made just the right thing for my cabinet. I already had two coral pieces, and now I have the shells under globe. I had to change the shape of the shelves and add a nice curve to be able to put the three items together. On the picture, one of the corals is almost hidden. I'm a poor photographer !

 

On the lower shelve, I have two new curiosities : a shell fossil and a dinosaur spine. The latter is in fact a part of a squirrel spinal column, but nobody knows it. That was a gift from my daughter. I've made the setting this morning.

 

 

 

I also got the perfect armchair for my cabinet. The original is the Swan chair designed by Charles Voysey, an English architect and furniture designer. His work was influenced by the Arts and Crafts Movement and the Art Nouveau. His famous Swan chair was designed between 1883 and 1885. The tiny one in my Cabinet is the work of Small-time miniatures. A master piece !

 

 

Here's a new picture of the whole cabinet.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After summer

After a busy summer in the 1/1 world and after one more moving, I'm back in the  miniature world. I will just tell it with some pictures.

 

I have made some painting and new upholstery for my chairs. We all need something to sit on after all this work. That's in the real world.

 

 

My magical shop, "Les dragons azimutés", was still packed. After two years, my dragons are back on the housefront and the pets from the magical world are taking some fresh air under the shopwindow.

Now, back in London in my new work place, I just finished a whole bunch of ballet shoes and I'm working on a new model of indian mocassins. That's the prototype.
