little made things....

Here is the latest creation. My third tiny dead pheasant (I have one in my Victorian dolls house at home and already sold one). The last one I sold went for £13.30! This one went for £3.20. Which is a little disappointing, especially as I rather like him and so don't really want to part with him! I hope he will be well loved! He is made with a tudor or victorian kitchen in mind, or even a butchers. He is made from Fimo, with a painted and varnished head, real pheasant feather (!) all over his body and tiny metal painted feet. Anyway, hope you like.

Inspired!

This will hopefully be a new journal largely dedicated to dolls house miniature creations and other such creative things. I have had journals before, but never with a creative focus. I ahve largely been inspired after reading Liberty Biberty's jounral. It is beautifully produced and so inspiring, full such lovely ideas.
I have always had dolls houses, since I was a very little girl. My dad built me one when I was about 5? This was much loved and played with and was later past onto to a charity shop and sold. I then moved to a much larger grander dolls house and began more seriosuly collecting 1/12th scale items...and I also began making bits and pieces. I used to sell some infact when I was....ooooh...13?14?15?16? At craft fiars with my dad (who sold water colour paintings and cards) it was such a thrill selling things I had made.
I have now moved out and live much further away from home in a rented house. As such my large dolls house and smaller dolls house coffee shop (!) remain at my parent's house and are rarely seen....but I still make bits and pieces to take home and add to them...and I make bits and pieces which I sell on Ebay. I will begin to add some photos soon so you can see the sort of things!
Anyway please bare with me.....more will be added soon! Promise!
