Hello Mini Friends! Thanks for stopping by today!
Lately, I've been having some fun in my mini making craft room but sadly I have not been taking many pictures for tutorials. At any rate I thought I would miniature show and tell!
I've been digging through tiny seashells I found in Florida a few years ago, dissecting an owl pellet for the tiny bones inside, and even framed my kitten Spooky's baby tooth that he lost.
I made the two cabinets below from chip board, balsa wood, Etsy bought wooden spindles, along with clear plastic from packaging
The tiny frame with Sp0oky's tooth in it measures 3/4 inch by 3/4 inch square.
The feathers are from my hen Aunt Bea.
These shells are very small but the ones I picked to use are even smaller.
Here are some of the ones I used for my curio shelf.
I guess I did make a few pictures of making the curio shelves using balsa wood.
They both measure 2 1/4 inch long by 1 1/2 inch tall.
This sort of gives you an idea on how small the shells are in this miniature glass jar.
I also made a gothic looking curio cabinet for my mermaid skull. I added some hair and tiny shells for a headdress to a Halloween skeleton garland skull. The cabinet measures one inch wide on all sides and six inches tall. I added lace and a beaded finial on top. The skull was just about too big to fit inside the case, but I made it work.
Here is the owl pellet and all of the bones that came out of it. I found the owl pellets in my father-in-law's barn where an owl roosts often. I actually have had these for several years but now want to go find more.
Here is another miniature glass jar that I filled with some of the tiny bones.
I think it looks spectacular!
This is the display cabinet I made for two of the tiny mouse skulls from the owl pellet.
It measures two inches tall by 2 inches wide and one inch in depth. The top doesn't open but appears like it does.
Well folks, that is what I have been working on lately! After I made the Apothecary Cabinet my mind went in more of a curiosities direction. So much fun!
What tiny things have you been making lately??
Thanks for stopping by friends!
Happy mini making!
XOXO ~Laurie
