My favorite historical period in our nation's history is the Revolutionary War era - and these "rooms" reflect that time period and, perhaps, a Captain who would later serve in America's fledgling Navy.
I absolutely love them. Do you make shadow boxes for personal momentos as well or is that an entirely different thing?
Rte66 and I share the enthusiasm of miniaturists - see what you learn on this "unimportant" thread??? Hope you enjoy, Rte - and glad others like them as well.
Closeup of Parlor. Had much fun finding the items to go on the Secretary. Especially like the little ink well with the feather ink pen, the pewter patriots marching, the bust of George Washington, and there's a little ceramic of a bird on a branch.
In the shelf box (on the right of this picture) are 3 ceramics and a silver ink holder while on the little table is another ceramic of a bird on a branch, plus some books which have fallen over (uh oh-bad housekeeper), and a little framed flower (can't see that clearly).
Ok, will do the others in separate posts.
Oh, wow! What a treat! Thank you so much for posting them and pinging me, so they’re on my comments page.
I love them! I will write more when I feel better. Can’t sit up much, no breath. Maybe OK in a day or two. Love them, thank you!
