MagickCrafters Miniatures and Art Dolls: Miniature "Woodcarver's Shop Collection"

OOAK "One-of-a-Kind" Original Art - "The Woodcarver's Shop Collection" (1:12 Scale Size)

I really enjoyed making this woodcarver's shop collection. The idea of creating an area where a woodcarver would work, crafting his brooms, making broom repairs, and carving wood sculptures, started with the creation of the little wooden mallet. (It's hanging in a brown leather holder on the front of the work bench.)

When I had finished making the mallet, I thought it would be cool if I could hang it on something, so the idea of a broom maker or woodcarver's work bench was born. The work bench with the three holes in the top shelf was the first piece of furniture to be introduced into what became a broom maker's shop collection.

The little "owner" of this woodcarving shop dreams of wood-crafting tools. He collects old posters of woodworking tools and hangs them on his walls. He is the creative messy type, but he keeps a basket on the floor near his carving table so he can clean up his wood chip curls when he's finished working for the day.

You can see the dime sitting on the floor in front of his work bench for size reference.

I love to carve and my brother is a wood sculpture artist, so it seemed kind of "neat" to create a wood-carver's shop. However, this shop is set in the past; it is intended to look old and used. ... I love things that look old... Perhaps this shop would go in an old European village, or in an old Amish or rural miniature scene setting.

I have split up the "Woodcarver's Shop Collection" up into 5 different ebay auctions. They all end soon.

Update: February 11th ... All 5 of the "Woodcarver's Shop Collection" auctions have been sold. Yea! :-)
