Well ....at long last I am pleased to say that I have been able to get down to making a donation for the Breast Cancer Campaign Raffle, which is taking place next February at Thame Dolls House & Miniatures Fair.
It is an aged wooden bookcase in 1/12th scale, the sort that I have been making for years based on a real 1930s piece of furniture....but the difference is that amongst some of my regular mini books, I have a whole set of 22 mini vintage books fixed on here that you won't have seen before! These replicas of pre-war books I have been able to create from a whole bundle of real life sized vintage books that were specially loaned to me by a great friend.
(Thank you Robin!) The bookcase stands at 3 1/2" high and is just 1 3/4" wide, in an aged dark wooden finish - typical of the 1930s.
Very shortly I will be putting up for sale three bookcases similar to the above on KT Miniatures, all in 1/12th scale plus have several other projects with vintage books in the pipeline....watch this space...as they say!
