Miniature Book Scenes

The two miniature scenes were made in Punch Studio's Keepsake Book Boxes. The larger book held Christmas cards, and was a perfect size for a 1:48th Christmas scene. The Second book is also from Punch Studio, and were nesting boxes. It is not a Christmas scene, however it was made it for a Christmas gift exchange.

A Christmas Book

The Christmas book opens to reveal three floors: kitchen, living room, and bedroom. The wallpaper for the Christmas scene came from several free projects by Paula Isaacs. The 1:48th scale furniture is a mixture of BPF, Jean Day's miniature kits, and my own handmade pieces. The accessories are printies, gathered from several different free sites. The Christmas Tree is a bottle brush tree, with no hole beads, and jewelry pieces for ornaments. This projected was gifted to my sister.

This project can also be viewed on my website: http://www.normanscountrycreek.com/achristmasbook.html and

The Hummingbird Book

The Hummingbird book came from the smallest of three Punch Studio Keepsake nesting boxes. It made a perfect 144th scale scene. The book opens to reveal three floors, parlor, kitchen/diningroom, and bedroom. All of the furniture came from Virtual Dollhouse. I choose a variety of metal furniture, making sure it was small enough to fit on each floor. I painted each piece, and varnished them with Ceramcoat matte varnish. I found wallpaper from my "wallpaper stash." The windows and door are printies made into 3D versions, which gives the illusion of an actual window, a technique I learned at my miniature club. I also added vases of flowers, using lycopodium, and tiny colored foam pieces. There are lots of accessories made from printies, beads, and jewelry findings. This was a very tedious undertaking, but was pleased with the outcome. This project was given as a gift for our miniature club's Christmas exchange.

Here's Wishing you a Wonderful and Safe Holiday Season!

I would love to do a page for the 14th of December, however since I have never done this before, I am not sure where to find the page I am to complete. I have two Christmas books I would like to include. One is 1:48 scale and the other one is 144th scale. They Punch Studio Christmas Card Books. I have added floors to the books, and furnished with a Christmas Theme. Here is a link to the 1:48 book. http://www.normanscountrycreek.com/achristmasbook.html

I added an ending to the page. It is ready for the 14th. Thanks for this opportunity.
Merry Christmas to you too!

Love your tiny scenes! I haven't taken the plunge for making a tiny scene yet but I hope to someday. I love the Christmas theme with the tree. You are an inspiration! Thanks for sharing.
