New Miniatures, FLASH SALE & Flying Saucers?
Filed under Art Projects, Giveaways, Miniatures, Newsletters, Nichola Battilana, Sale
Ha! Design Team Member Nichola Battilana has made a set of Confidential Top Secret Files using her new CLASSIFIED UFO Collage Sheet — and they are great!
See below for some background on how she went from the unassuming tent cards announced with the January Kit (one shown at right) to the conspiracy-theories-run-amok artwork!
Plus (for a true study in contrasts), I’ve picked out the Kitchen & Sewing section of Dollhouse Miniatures for a FLASH SALE! As TWO of today’s new items are in that section, they’re on 25% off sale, too!
The truth is out there – Confidential Top Secret Files by Nichola Battilana
 |
From Nichola’s blog post:
Ok. So. I tried to make something pretty. Alpha Stamps sent me some gorgeous papers to use with their tent card frames but it was not happening. I’m going to blame my recent podcast listenings for what happened.
I went about as far from pretty as one can get and found myself in a deep dark conspiracy hole.
Not a pink floral paper in sight! Instead I’ve taken a trip into the basement of the J Edgar Hoover building and gone rummaging through the X-Files. (I’d totally wink at Foxy Mulder circa 1993.)
Flip those folders open (You HAVE to peek when something is marked “top secret” and “confidential”) and you’ll find top secret office memos and case files. What could possibly be so ultra important?!?!
Photographic evidence of aliens and Bigfoot of course!
So there you are! Beside this intro and photos (above and below in the Giveaway section), here’s the petite supply list. And be sure to visit Nichola’s blog for more photos and info!
New Goodies!

Too fun! I actually have an autographed paper from David Duchovny and he wrote ‘The truth is out there’ on it! It was a gift to my daughter when the show was on.
I love the look of the January kit and the Saturday Creature Feature look of the sample is just wonderful!
