Hi all, I hope you're doing well!!
The last couple of weeks have been quite busy for me, and the weather has not been very helpful either, but nonetheless I managed to work on a few things.
Apart from the big, long term "Sad Kitten" project which I'm currently involved in, I did a small, Halloween-themed shadow box in between.
I won't reveal much of it right now.. after all, it's not Halloween quite yet! But I can tell you that I'm quite satisfied with this little shadow box, and that it only took me three evenings to complete!
However, it being a bit off-scale (meaning not in a specifically defined scale like 1:24 or 1:12), it was hard to find miniatures that fit. One of the things that I needed was an old spade, which, of course could not be found in the required size (not even a new one, for that matter). So I decided to make one myself, which you can see here.
I'm pretty happy with how it came out, considering how small it is! I made it out of aluminum and wood, because I consider those 'natural' materials, unlike plastic, which I try to avoid as much as I can. Below is a close up pic of it in the shadow box. On Halloween the whole box will be revealed. It's definitely not a 'one-off' project, because the main character will feature in other ones!
That's all for now, folks! Thanks for visiting, and see you next time!

DeleteVery atmospheric and the old dirty shovel is Great! Makes me think that since you've called it a girl's shovel, that the girl might be burying her dolls
