Hello again dear readers,
This time I'm going to show you how I created furniture for Baalatova from craft sticks and wooden
pieces I had at hand. I now realize that this whole project will be nearly made from scrap materials I had at hand.
The candelabra is a gift from Birgit . The potion jars are beads. The cork stoppers are punched-out circles from a cork sheet. I used a regular office punch. Two circles glued together make a stopper.
These are the parts I used for the table's leg.
A wooden drawer knob, A large wooden bead and a wooden disc glued one on top of the other.
The top is a large wooden disc I received from a friend long ago.
These are the pieces the shelf unit is made from. I used 8 large craft sticks. These wooden sticks are too thin for furniture. I had to glue two together clumping them firmly overnight. I cut two for the
side of the unit. From the other two I cut the shelves. My work is not perfect but it will look good
when filled with magic bottles, etc. The ornamental wooden top is something that came in a bag of
wooden scraps I bought from a fellow miniaturist who left the country.
Shelf unit assembled.
I made window frames for the two windows in the house, one for indoors and one for outdoor. Between the two I installed a clear piece of perspex.
I also installed ceiling beams. Baalatova must have somewhere to sleep and I think she'll be
comfortable in a hammock hanging from the beams. The beams strengthen the structure of the box.
I plan to add a roof to give the box a spooky look.
Now there are good news about Baalatova, she was seen limping on her way home. It will take her
a long time to get there without being able to fly on her broom and she can't get a new working broom without her magic wand. Big problem!!
Soon we're going to meet her on her way.
A very warm welcome to my new followers, Laurie M, Anna F S. and Monique. Thank you so much for following.
Blessings to you all

Drora, you have done very nice the shelves and the table. I admire that you have used only normal sticks and simply drawer knob for doing the furniture .
ReplyDeleteGreat work, Drora. The furniture is amazing and very chic.
ReplyDeleteI love your beautiful furniture, Baalatova is sure to like them too! No wonder why she is limping on her way home!
ReplyDeleteThank you for shoving us how you made them!
Hugs
