Chandelier in 1:12 Scale

Now that all my Thanksgiving eating has digested, I'm here to share my latest project.  I saw a tutorial video on YouTube by GardenofImagination on making working mini chandeliers.  Here's my attempt.  Isn't it cute?

Here are some pictures of my process, but this is in no way a tutorial.  GOI did an excellent job explaining how to make them so if your interested check out her video.  I'll be back with more pictures once it's installed in the Newport.

 

I used a vise drill to put a hole in the center of the Jewelry thing.  I couldn't find any large bead caps as suggested.



 




 



 Thread the light through the cap.

Hang your beads and viola!



Dining Room Setup (unfinished)







It works!

PS- Please forgive the quality, or lack there of, of these picture.  My "real" camera was not available.

Fairies Welcome!

Have you heard the phrase "If you build it they welcome come."?  I'm hoping "it" means a fairy house because that what I built. 

And a look at the inside...

The house measures 5.5'' x 4'' x 6.5''

My mom even joined me and made a house of her own.  Now we just have to wait for "them".

And before I forget... I'd like to say WELCOME to my 1st follower, Casey from Casey's Minis and you too Tessie!!

Mini Break

I took a break from the Newport for a few days to focus on making minis.  You'll be able to track my progress on the house here, The Newport, soon... I promise.

These are some of my first minis.  I'm please with most of them.  Let me know what you think, I'll keep practicing.
