Red Circus Coach, New Filigree & Kitchen Minis
Filed under Beads, Filigree, Kristin Batsel, Mini Hardware, Miniature Baking, Miniatures, Tutorials
How cute is this?! Design Team Member Kristin Batsel turned the 3D Cinderella Coach into a Circus Coach!
Everything in Kristin’s supply list is included in today’s sale collection (which includes all of today’s new and back-in-stock goodies, too) so be sure to get the DISCOUNT code below!
Psst! The sale includes the costumes Kristin designed herself for her peg people in the coach!
I can’t help but be a little sad that the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey circus closed for good. I have always loved the circus, and making circus art. It just so happens that the mini 3D Cinderella Coach, with a change of color and adornments, makes the perfect little circus wagon for little peg people. It’s been years since I made my Tiny Peg Circus, and it was time for those little performers to have a means of reliable transportation.
The wagon is just the right size to hold six members of the circus. For safety reasons, no one wanted to ride with the lions, so I constructed a little cage to tag along with the wagon.
And Kristin posted a tutorial showing how to turn one of the gates from the 2 Sets of Chipboard Gates into her Lion Cage! (Safety first!)
More info in Kristin’s blog post. And see her full supply list.
Metal Filigree
Hey, the first 2 items below are back-in-stock AND in Kristin’s artwork! AND to show how versatile they are, they were also used by Laura Carson in 2 of her Elegant Eggs shown at left at right. Here’s more info on Laura’s eggs.
New Kitchen
Ok… nothing to do with filigree OR circus acts, but cute thing keep arriving and kitchen/baking miniatures are very popular!
In addition to the 3 beauties below, the extras at left and right are a Kitchen Pots & Utensils Set (an updated version: still a 10-piece set but now in a lighter-color finish — and lighter weight plastic… hence lighter on your wallet, too), and a Mini Black Waffle Iron (with waffle)!
All these goodies are also in today’s sale collection… see the COUPON below.
New Hardware
FREE Gift with Orders
In honor of the NEW 13mm Tall Fancy Crown Bead Cap shown at left, I’ve pulled together this Mini Elephant Gift Kit which is FREE with all orders placed today through Wednesday (ends at midnight April 17, 2024)!
These new Crown Bead Caps are just perfect. Maybe a crown for a tiny creature. Even works up-side down as the base of a miniture cake plate (like the elephant’s circus act).
In addition to a Crown Bead Cap, I’m including both of these items:
– a Mini Baby Elephant
– a Tiny Cake Plate Filigree
(and those last 2 have been added to today’s sale collection, in case you’d like to order more)
New Red Circus Wagon SALE
One more bonus item I added to the sale collection: Florentine Brass Leaves. They’re used in more of Laura Carson’s fab eggs, like the 2 snippets shown above with all the metal filigree. (See the far right of her Red Queen Elegant Egg photo at right… at the top corners with a pearl added to each.)
Use coupon CIRCUS when checking out to get an additional 20% off on EVERYTHING in this collection! That’s 20% off beyond current sale prices! Over 20 items, including all the new items! (A few more items from Kristin’s supplies are shown below.)
The sale ends WEDNESDAY NIGHT, April 17th at midnight PST.
