Bottles and jars

First of all a very warm WELCOME to all of my new Followers! I am so happy such talented people follow my modest blog! Welcome! Hope you will all have "sunny hours" watching it;)
Secondly I have to admit I need some free time from my work to get properly started with this project and I hope I will have a short holidays in March. Then I will post more often - I promise! :)
And today a few words of bottles and jars - I need them really in "rather" big number and since now I've collected some ;)
Here I go:

These are the first bottles and the jar I have got in my "collection". The green round bottle is a perfume one I have got for years now - I never knew what perfume was inside because when I got it the perfume with it's fragrance was already gone ;)The jar is from some medicine and I do not remember where the red jelly is from but it looks so nice inside ;)

The jars and perfume bottles on the left are from Cotton Ridge Designs, small and the smallest "bottles" on the right are beads remade to pretend real bottles ;)

This great stuff above is from Valerie Claire Miniatures and so are the labels:

And here is the first lot of fullfilled and labeled bottles and jars ready to put them on the shelfs (that are not existing yet ;)

The door and the window

After months of searching for the right door and the right window I finally realized I need to change the phrase I used for searching from the arch door into...the gothic door. This time I found a proper door and a proper window almost at once!Here they are:




Found them at Bromley craft. The door needs to be remade into one wing door. And the window - well it is "a bit" too big for the dungeon but since I plan there will be the only one window I think it will be fine.

Close up of my books

A big thank you for my first Followers! I never thought I will have even one! Welcome!:)
I've made better picture of my books with paper pages, so here it is:

At first I thought there are enough books for Severus' office, after all there shoud be a lot of jars in it, but I have just found great jewellery to make some more interesting covers. Nail metal jewellery that is. I really don't know if I would like to have something like that on my own nails, but there is something in saying you never know where you can find anything useful for miniatures ;) I will show you it as soon as my order will finally come to me. Our post office is really working soooo sloooow...

The Cauldron

I guess everything started with this small, black cauldron.


I saw it at www.oaktreedollshouseminiatures.com and I just knew it is a must have for me :) I do not remember if I was thinking of Snape's office yet. Sill, I needed to buy the cauldron "right now!" :) Then I remember I started to make books of wood, maybe a bit primitive way of making books ;) but they were the very first books that I made myself. I gave them the skin covers in different colours. The covers look as the books were already used and old.

I must say I liked them until I saw books made by Ericka Van Horn from EV Miniatures I have absolutely gone mad about her books and wizardy stuff! She has inspired me so much, so before I ordered her artwork I had changed the way of making my own books, so here you see the books with paper pages and some "jewlery" on the top of covers.

Finally I bought these beautiful printed papers and the Gost Face Book from her. Great stuff, don't you think?

Welcome

A warm welcome from Poland to all who might accidentaly visit my blog!

This blog is going to be about my future projects in miniature, in 1:12 scale and the first one is the Professor Severus Snape's Office. Yes, I know, there is already the project like that on the internet - great job made by Kathy Centracchio. But who said I can't make my own one? So this is my version of it, a bit different from what the movies shown us, combined with the descriptions in books.
Why Severus Snape? Well, maybe because in my opinon this character is much more interesting than any other in all Harry Potter's story, more complex, more human and of course the bravest one :) And why the hell was he killed by that stupid snake anyway? ;)
So here it is: My Own version of Professor Severus Snape's Office.
Wish me good luck ;)
