Keeping up the blog: Things I am doing: Miniatures.com contest hint.

Good day good folk!

I thought I should show som more pictures of things n stuff and do a little update ;)

Working on projects for the craft fair:  I am going to try to just get things in peoples hands, I will accept any offers they make and while doing this keeping things cost effective is the way to go.

This is a little stone wall scene I created, for this craft fair, can you guess what 90% of it is made of?
  Hint: Rough line scraper was used

O ye bottom of the bin, thou does treat me so well...

I also decided a little fairy cubby hole would be cute for a bookshelf or desk 
Sleeping in her bed of mixed scraps, hey! It works ;)

I played around with a idea of little glitter houses in ornaments, this one is just a mock up but I like the idea and will prbably make a couple since its a Christmas Fair.

My woodland path box is finished, I still have to seal everything but I think it turned out nice for both a keepsake box and a example for a miniature scene. See the little deer hoof prints?

Here is another mechanical/steampunkery type box from metalic clays and bits

I started to throw together a few of the 1/4 scale buildings I got from my greenleaf set of goodies. I think this might be a nice old cottage... if I finish it..

I also decided to take another afterschool class for the local elementary, this season we are doing Faux Gingerbread houses, I will post more about this in a fucture post but here is the example of starter and a idea of the finished project..dont mind how crappy mine looks but I only had 1 hour to make a example for the kids..thiers will look much better!

I also said I would show you a bit of my on going Miniatures.com build..I will be realeasing some sneak peeks over the next couple of weeks but here is a piece I crafted that tells quite a bit about what the build will be..without telling exactly what it will be :)

Hugs to all and happy crafty days ahead!

  4. Your creations are work of art my dear Jane! I hope the Christmas fair will be great fun! I like your idea of making faux gingerbread houses. I look forward to that future post because I would like to make one for my girl. I find real gingerbread house extremely difficult to make so I am hoping to learn an easier way!

  6. Wow you have been a busy girl. So much inspiration here. I'm crazy about the little stone wall scene, I never would have guessed it was made from left overs, so glad I didn't throw out my scraps now. Thanks for sharing. :)

  10. So many and gorgeous works, Jane, you are a master with clay :D! I love all of the ideas you have and you've been (and still are) very busy with so many creative projects, it's nice to read about this all on your blog. I love that little fairy in her scraps bed, so sweet with those teeny tiny wings on her shoulders, sweet dreaming.....*sigh* it's beautiful!

  16. You're busy as a bee and everything you've shown is stunning - the visitors at the fair will be so amazed to see the variety of your work. And especially the details are breathtaking - the hoof prints, the tiny snowman... that's what makes it special. And another class - how exciting! But I really disagree about the gingerbread house - to me it looks totally fine! ;O)

    Hugs

  17. Lovely work Jane. You just reminded me I want to make some gingerbread houses to finish a Sugar 'n Spice Christmas scene I started a few years ago. Really should make an effort to finish it this year. I love the shape of your gingerbread house and I am sure the kids will have a great time making them.

  20. Oh, I Love your little scenes!!! The Fairy one is so sweet! The wall with the door in it would drive me crazy with wanting it to open..... where does it lead to????? And ornaments with scenes inside always enchant me! You are making so many little things! The secret build looks very interesting.... old fashioned..... workshop type of equipment.... Medieval? Magical? When will we get to see more???

  21. What lovely creations you bring us again :) I especially love the Christmas ornament with the little scene! So clever! I'm sure all your wonderful items will sell great! Good luck in the fair and of course in the contest ;)

  22. Wow! You have been super duper busy! I love the little gingerbread houses. I am one of those people that could probably celebrate Christmas all year long. :) Can't wait to see more! You have so many "sneak peeks" happening right now!

  23. I'm a bit jealous of the people coming to that craft show.. I want to see your things too =) That first scene is just wonderful!! Would snatch that up in a second! ;) Will keep that image in my head for my landscaping. The grass is great and your stone work is amazing, and the door, wow!

    And the ornament is beautiful! Perfect for Christmas.
    Sneak peeks are always fun, you always have me sitting and wondering what will come next, and it's always more amazing than I could even think of =)
