It's been ages since i popped in and did a post. Ive been so busy with everything non mini related and not had much to blog about.
I've been checking out everyone elses posts though and all the fab mini's and art work everyone has been showing recently.
A few days ago i started making a potion room room box. Its a little further along that whats showing here but i cant find the updated photo. Ive also been making some mandrakes on newspapers, crates and pots and some potions. Hopefully these will be finished in a few days. I've also been having a go at making my own furniture and quite pleased with the results so far.
But, i decided to make a few non mini items today which are still witch related.
Here's some potion bottles that measure around 15cm in height and have just put them on etsy. I shall see how these work out and then perhaps make more if they sell well.
Think i have another 10 bottles so will need to get my thinking cap on what to fill them with.
Its been fun making these with them being nice and big compared to mini's. I thought they would be a lot easier and quicker to make but these have proved the opposite.
I really like them and now on the look out everywhere i go for bottles.
Hey you
ReplyDeleteYou're up late :-)
The bigger bottles look really good...good luck selling them.
The potion room looks like it'll be really neat.
Kids driving you nuts yet :-)

Hi Sans. I loved the picture in the photo challenge. I'd love to make a room like it one day.

Hi Marlies. I think small rooms boxes are fun to make and not such a commitment as a large house. Once i find the time i will try and have it finished asap.

Hi Susan. You should be able to find mod roc on ebay. I will have a look for you later.
ReplyDeleteI didnt use it on this build and only sue modroc over whiteboard to give it extra strength.
The roombox measures 25 cm in width and 23 cm in height.

Hi Julie. Glad you like the bottles. For the first two i am quite pleased. Need to get my head around working in a bigger scale and get the mini habit of my head while doing so.

Hi Kate and John. Sounds really great what you want to do with the dresser. I too want to make one. You should just go for it and start collecting bottles and jars. Maybe boot sales or cheap shops like wilkinsons and 99p store may have some glass bottle you can empty whatever comes in them.
ReplyDeleteYou can also pick up glass jars on ebay and there are some sites that sell them in bulk. Just type in glass bottle to buy and see what comes up.
Oh yes, also ikea do a lot of glass bottles and jars. Grunged up and with corks and cloth tops they would look great. I have a few here and thinking what to put in them.
