Made a miniature table from a cd and beads
Just made this cute little table by cutting a cd with kitchen scissors and gluing square glass beads together with tacky glue. The vase is handpainted by Alice Marques Gegers, the dancing porcelain mouse is from The Garden Path in IL and the stone bowl with greenery is from the adorably inventive Gigi N Studio.

Made a miniature upholstered chair from foam core & business cards
Made a chair. I built the seat and legs with foam core and the rest is fabric covered business cards. I am working on 2 more of these chairs and have perfected the body using polymer clay instead of foam core. Will post a tutorial soon.
Lolly's had a sale on lights. I bought that bedside lamp for $6. It was a wood and gold base with gold lamay trim - ay caramba! I painted it white and did trim on the lampshade and chair (got it at Tom Bishop show from Tiny-Tique - Judy Bianchi from Huntley, IL). She has adorable fabric and trimmings.
