The shabby shed is finally finished...
and it's a little craft studio!
I've filled it with crafts representing many of the things I love to do.
The shed is pretty much filled with things I have made myself
and a few special little treasures from my friends.
There just had to be a teeny tiny shabby cottage in there!
Cardigan a gift from Frederica.
Making a vintage sheet music wreath.
Sewing and knitting.
A cupboard overflowing with craft 'stuff'.
I think most crafters have at least one of these in their house!
Scrapbooking.
Dollhouse building.
Little oil painting done by my mother!
The scene is a beach we used to go to when I was little.
Tiny polymer clay creations in the making.
Tiny embroidery.
My Bernina sewing machine is in a case like this and it's almost as old as I am!
Walnuts from Kim.
Beautiful shabby toolbox and fabulous tools a gift from Kim.
I think the tiny birdcage with old books and a nest inside and the tiny vintage tin on top might be my favourite thing I've made!
As usual there are things in here I'd love to have in my real house like an old shutter.
Coffee and cookie made by Kim.
Tiny copy of Mini-ologie magazine (featuring my barn!) made by Lori Turner-Dolinsek.
I was lucky enough to meet Lori went I was in America and she sent me the magazine when I got home.
Night time!
A birds eye view.
I hope you've enjoyed that little tour around the shabby craft shed!
It's kind of 1:12 scale or maybe a little bit smaller, I'll try to do another post soon showing the scale of some of the very tiny things in there.

Where to begin? Oh my goodness, what an absolutely enthralling creation!! The attention to detail is unbelievable. The little teeny paint tubes & the little rose embroidery in an embroidery hoop! Then there's that wonderful cabinet crammed delightfully full of fabric, books & boxes. Nice little touch w' the sweater draped around a chair back. And what a treasure to have that precious painting that your mother created. Too much to mention. I could go on & on. Suffice it to say that I was delighted w' your creation. That piece would be a huge hit at our annual Seattle Dollhouse Miniature Show!! Thank you so much for sharing. Your great big mini fan, Debbie.
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely delightful...and perhaps the most beautiful mini creation I have ever seen. I love seeing all of your hobbies in miniature. Your attention to detail is fantastic! Thank you for sharing -- so nice that you are willing to let all of us have a little look inside.

ReplyDeleteWOW! You have filled that little shed with so many tiny awesome treasures!!! Wouldn't we all love to be able to spend hours in there...! You have left nothing out! I especially love the cardboard boxes full of extra stuff! LOL! That is so realistic... even in a well put together place we have "stuff" we don't know what to do with but can't throw away! All your details are so amazing.... I could spend hours looking at everything! You are Amazing!!! What a great little project!

What a fascinating room you have created! I absolutely cannot get enough of looking at all the fine little details. I will be back again and again as there are so many things to see. I love your work. You are one of my favourite miniaturists!
ReplyDeleteWonderful work, but I wish I had a shabby dollhouse like yours. :) I love your blog very much. Greetings from Hungary! Bye, Melli
ReplyDeleteHi Mercedes! THIS ROOM ROCKS!
ReplyDeleteI love the way that you have aged it and Mixed up colors, patterns and textures and made it sooo livable! I love the boxes of "don't know what to do with it" stuff that you have placed in strategic locations. I also enjoyed the 4 numbered drawer fronts on the overhead cabinet and the rusted crumpled tin pitchers! Every detail is so well thought out and nothing left to chance. ( the Rue Cambon street sign also caught my 'Chanel eyes' ;D)
A Really Stunning Achievement Mercedes and I am so glad that you have shared it with us!

ReplyDeleteHello Mercedes,
ReplyDeleteI am the Editor for American Miniaturist Magazine and was wondering if you would like to have your Shabby Shed featured in American Miniaturist Magazine. I particularly love this shed because I am a mixed media collage artist as well as a miniature hobbyist. Wonderful the way it feels like a peaceful place to create. I would love to share this wonderful piece with our readers if you would be interested.
It's a great way to reach many people who have a passion for miniatures. You can email me at auralea@ashdown.co.uk if you are interested.
