Miniature project

As you know I am a sucker for anything miniature, and since my other little projects (the curiosity shoppe, steampunk pin cushion, and whimsy lane) were so well received at the shop (they all sold at Christmas) I have been inspired to do more. This is my latest. It's another fabulous mini from Twiddleybitz. They market it as an ATC (artist trading card) hinged box, but, you know me..I like to think OUT of the box! 
I decided this would make a perfect miniature perfume cabinet. Hope you like it :)
first, this is how it comes, in pieces with instructions:

 and this is my interpretation. A beautiful little perfume cabinet!

 The shelving I added in..

 the perfume bottles I hand made from beads and metal bead ends, and miniature glass bottles.

 This bottom shelf has a recipe book in the back, a jar of rose petals, and a jar of lavender sprigs, all hand made by me. The lavender sprigs are so tiny. It's my favourite part of the whole piece.
