Quirky Things by Rhonda Secrist
How cute is that?! Rhonda’s new Quirky Things project is in half scale (1:24 scale) and she filled her tiny bookcase and cabinet with tons of tiny treasures.
First, she used the new Short Arch Top Facade Bookcase – Half Scale on top of the new Half Scale Kitchen Cabinet (with the doors left off, but with the new Gothic Arch Kitchen Cabinet Doors used as doors so you can see inside).
She also used the new Gothic Bookcase Overlay – 1:24 over the bookcase. That facade was designed to be used over the bookcase (omitting the curved facade — see photo at left) but Rhonda switched it up and flipped the bookcase 180 degrees so she could use both… pretty cute idea, too!
Here’s a bit of the text from Rhonda’s blog post as a preview:
I needed a unique spot to show off my quirky things and this Short Arch Top Facade Bookcase along with a Half Scale Kitchen Cabinet was perfect. Especially with the addition of the new Gothic Arch Kitchen Cabinet Doors and Gothic Bookcase Overlay. My items are super small, so having this super small combination was fantastic.
Do you see all of the lovely framed art? Simple to create using some Embossed Mini Antique Frame Stickers and images from the Half Scale Books & Things Collage Sheet. Simply place the frame sticker over the desired image, cut out, and done.
The miniature books were another easy creation. I ran some 1/2 Inch Chipboard Tiles through my sticker machine, then placed each book cover image onto the tiles and folded the front and back covers over. I used a gold acrylic marker to the “pages” to make the books have even more quirky character.
More highlights from the close-up pics below:
– The Small Metal Urn and Cast Metal Jack-in-the-Box Toy in the center frame (easily painted cast metal… like some new metal goodies farther below).
– The airplane at far right is also painted cast metal.
– The Teardrop Perfume Bottle and Mini Powder Jar on the top row of the bookcase (shown in the same far right panel)
