Tiny Weenie Shelves of Curiosity

I’ve made another little set of shelves full of tiny bits and pieces.
compendium of curiosities
It’s a packing box for some crafty embellishments long since used up and  measures 7ins x 3ins, with each compartment measuring 1.5ins x 1in which I have lined with assorted scraps from my Papermania Portobello Road paper pad.
Little knick nak shelves
Filling each section was just heaven to do, going through all my boxes looking for lost treasures, to finally bring them to life.
Little shelves of curiosities
I can remember where each tiny piece came from and/or who gave me them, so everything is special.
Tiny weenie shelves of things
I think my favourite section is the one with the baking tray.

Closely followed by the fish bowl and tiny spider.

I found the more I got absorbed in the project, the more detail I wanted to put in, but too much and the whole effect would be spoiled. I now feel like the Duchess of Tiny Weenie Things!

fab this really is a tiny work of art the more you look the more you see this is one to keep you now need to get some first class acetate and make a wonderful fake front for it you could use salt dough to make the a frame that would fit perfect or do the toilet paper moulding for it just think what you could come up with make it light weight draw it out on cardboard and build up from that attaching it with micro Velcro so you can take it off easy and even change it big love Marc
