Easel in the art space


otterine

The forward area on the left side is the art space. I wish I had such a lovely setup in real life!

There is an easel made using a pattern from Miniature Room Settings by Helen Ruthberg; I made it from basswood and stained it Minwax Cherry. The stool was purchased from All Small Miniatures. Lyssa sent me some art papers and wrapped canvases for a swap sometime ago. I glued one of the papers to mat board and primed it with white paint.

The book also had a pattern for a tabouret, which Dictionary.com defines as, "a small, usually portable stand, cabinet, or chest of drawers, as for holding work supplies." In the interest of time, instead of making my tabouret from the pattern, I shortened a Daisy House floor shelf kit. It is painted Sunflower by Folk Art. Lyssa sent me the bead jars, and I finished with labels left over from the paint tube tutorial.

The tiny paint tubes were made from a tutorial by Carol of true2scale. The lamp from The Dolls House Emporium is wired with one of my signature faux outlets. And, of course, you can't have a cord stretched about waiting to trip you. I made a cord cover from half round trim with a channel cut to cover the cord. It is held in place with mini hold wax.
