I'm seeing things...
I think I'm seeing things......things for making miniatures, that is! Seriously, it seems like everywhere I look I see something I think I could use in miniature... For example: Ever pull out the little plastic disc that is inside the top of a medicine bottle? Spray them with a coat of Krylon for Plastic and they make a pretty good platter, serving tray, or cake stand. The smooth, shallow metal top from a bottle of energy drink? - another dish, or filpped over for a large tray...
This past weekend I went to the Myrtle Beach, SC area to see my sister. While there, I went on a mission to find the tiniest seashells possible. SCORE! I went to Shell World, where they had a big bin chock full of super-teeniny shells. Even better, only 99 cents for a shot glass full! I have something special in mind for these beauties!
Oh yeah, my sister gave me an incredible gift: an antique miniature basket full of amazingly small dried roses! The entire thing can sit on a nickel. (Oh, I just can't wait to post a photo.) She didn't realize that the basket was not the only present. Attached to the wrapped gift was the cutest little lacy paper tag that she'd made with her Cricut. AH-HA!!!! A lightbulb moment hit me when I realized that it looked like a little doily, or possibly even a perfectly-sized placemat! Wowies, I called her and she's going to pop some more out for me, too... Can't beat that! Thanks, sis!!!
Ooh, I just love to repurpose things, especially when I can use them for my hobby!
