of obsession, miniatures and eBay

Flower Bookmarks

It’s made out of simple materials. All I did was erm, acquire a few stirring sticks from Starbucks and Burger King, and made this! haha. The little flowers, dragonfly and teddy bear are actually cut out of polymer clay canes that I recently bought from eBay. Cheap deals. =P I bought about 100 sticks. Should last me a long time, I suppose. And the bluish flowers are punched out of memo paper I had in hand, and I wrote some bible verses with colored pens on each of them. This is just part of my experiments, so you’re free to try it out for yourself, and let me know of any other ideas that you’d like to see implemented. If I could, I would.

Shot of ends of the bookmarks

Here’s a close up of  the ends. There’s a sakura flower and some pink rolls. This is for the teddy bear bookmark, since I would have each of them display 3 miniature stickers.

Dollhouse Miniature 1:12 Plates

I bought about 130 miniature plates. I’m not crazy, it’s just that I want it to be a one-time deal, and I’ll work from there. Could probably save me a huge amount of money too in the long run.

So, if you have any ideas on what kind of food should I make, let me know. =D Don’t worry by the sheer number of the plates that you can see in the picture on the left, that’s only about 15 plates. I’ll let you know if I’m nearing my limit of 130 plates.

Assorted items

Alrighty. Next up would be this picture of assorted items. From the far left would be two sets of jewelry display bust, in black and white, and in front of those two would be a burger in a display case, and at the back would be a vintage coffee grinder, followed by an oil lamp, and a water fountain, with a 12pc-set of silverware, and a sewing box next to the bucket of kitchenware. The bird cage looks glorious here, and slightly further back would be a metal serving tray, with the cockerel teacup and saucer. =D

I’ll give you a better shot soon, since this one favors the birdcage more. Hang on a bit while I fumble around for the next shot.

Different perspective of assorted items

Alrighty. Here’s a different perspective. As you can see, the sewing kit has some thread, and a measuring tape in it, which i plan to use as a sample for future endeavors into making such items. And the display busts, burger display case, fountain, serving tray and birdcage will be used to display items such as jewelry, food, and tiny birds that I plan on making. I’m so excited!

As for the water fountain and cockerel teacup and saucer, those will be used to reproduce many more in their likeness. Especially once I know how to mold. =D hehehe. I don’t buy things randomly, I usually have some purpose behind them. However vague they may be, at least I know they would be useful somewhat.

Assorted flowers

Alrighty. Lookie here! Flowers! Miniature flowers, to be precise. I don’t know what they are, but the petals and flowers looked so dainty I just couldn’t help but to get them! And I adore them so much, that I’m gonna make more of them! Haha. I might just look up on flower arranging tutorials, just to see if it would look nice in miniature too. I believe I have lilies and hyacinth, but I’m not quite sure anyway. I’ll look it up sometime later.

So, for the next picture, it’ll be about …

Harry Potter Book Collection

This! Harry Potter book collection! Yay! Okay, it was cheap, inclusive of shipping, so I scrambled to get it. I searched for Tolkien too, but I guess he’ll just have to wait. All seven books in the Harry Potter series. It’s printed on the inside too, but I couldn’t read what it said, certainly not gibberish I hope. They look almost like the real thing, only smaller. I don’t know what sort of books I would like to make some day, but these would be guideline.

Alrighty, we’re almost nearing the end of the post and pretty pictures, so I’ll give a hint as to certain things I’d like to make soon!

Ice Cream Cups, Jellies, & Periodic Table

Yeah. So ice creams, jelly maybe, and some chemical compounds! I especially love seeing powdered forms of the copper(II) sulphate and such on watch glasses. So pretty! Especially when they’re crystallized! So, have a great weekend, and hope that my pictures have somewhat enticed you into this miniature world. =D
