It's been a busy weekend of miniature-making and scene setting! I have been putting together my very first swap parcel for studioseven and I picked up a few papers and laser cut wood decorations from a scrapbook store. This scene is a step outside of my comfort zone in many ways. A while back I asked my husband to pick out a sheet of scrapbook paper that he liked, and I told him I would create a room around it. Kind of like a self-imposed challenge. He picked out an historical looking old map design. I had some ideas for it, but nothing I owned would really work with it. Then for our anniversary, he bought me a set of Mission-style living room furniture. I wanted to use it, but it was a bit over sized for most of what I owned, and a completely different style. Today, when I saw this laser-cut clock face, I was inspired to try everything together. I wanted to create a well-traveled collector's living room with a modern design. I used the Ikea Lekman room box (again) mainly because of the open space, and I like the look of the clock with a translucent background. Of course I wasn't able to photograph it before it got dark, so I only got a few decent photos. I am happy with how it turned out, and it really reflects my husband's style. Challenge complete :)
