Don't put those ornaments away yet. Why not see if you can fit one into a miniature scene? I bought the blue spiky starburst ornament on CB2 last year and jerry rigged it into a hanging light with the metal handle from a Chinese food take out box.
I got the ornament pendant light idea from Emily's blog, Go Haus Go, from her entry to the defunct I'm a Giant challenge. Below are some more pics from the room I set up (I swapped the kitchen and living rooms). Kitchen, island, chairs, bar stools, credenza, painting are PRD Miniatures. The table, modern vase, bookshelves are mine, Modern Minis. All the knick knacks are miniature show finds and from dollhouse shops.
If you are up for the ornament challenge, email me a picture of your scene or send a link to modernminifan (@) gmail.com. Have fun, Happy Holidays and all the best to you in 2015!!
Hmmm what a fun idea until I look at this year's tree my Granddaughter, I mean my Little Assistant decorated and it' all Barbie, My Little Pony and Nutcracker. Any body's dolly need a Nutcracker for a date on New Years? C
ReplyDeleteHmmm, what to do with My Little Pony... I'm not quit sure I could fit that into a miniature scene. A small nutcracker could work, maybe? Or maybe next year. :D
DeleteI love this idea! I will be looking at my ornaments and creating a scene from one. Thanks for doing this!
ReplyDeleteYay Neen! I look forward to seeing what you come up with! :D
DeleteThanks for playing Sophie!! Check out the scene Sophie put together here: http://www.miniaturetome.blogspot.com/2014/12/christmas-ornament-challenge.html
ReplyDelete(I'll post all of the scenes at the end of January)
I will be putting your challenge on my blog's sidebar. Can challengers use photos of ornaments if the real ornaments are already stored?
DeleteYes, photos of ornaments totally work too! :D
DeleteCool! And I'm kicking myself for donating the green version of your ornament light fixture to charity...What was I thinking???
ReplyDeleteD'oh, they had it in green!?! Missed that one. I do love it in blue. What were you thinking? :P
DeleteAw! I just saw this post. I already put away all of my decorations...bummer!
ReplyDeleteI should have posted sooner, but you have been in super cleaning mode, so glad you didn't waste time on this and got your craft room organized.
DeleteLas sillas naranjas me encantan.

Feliz 2015! :D
I made a scene (or more like several versions of the same scene) with an ornament. I put it up on my blog. Fun!
ReplyDeleteThanks Penelope! I love your pics.
DeleteThe room is Stunning and the overhead ornament/ lamp conversion really gives your dining room the extra "WOW" Factor!!! :))
