Selina Rose Gallery - Signing Off

How exciting, I just saw 10,000 click by - since I've had my blog it has had 10,000 views. Another milestone. They seem to be coming all at once - 100 followers, 100 posts, 10,000 views, my first giveaway AND my first finished project since I got back into miniatures. Well, it is not totally finished. Are any of our miniatures totally finished? - there is always the capacity to add just one more thing or come up with one more idea!

The Selina Rose Gallery will be going on a journey tomorrow to its new home with my sister Karen. There are still some things I have in mind, perhaps a window box, some family photos, a mini catalogue of Karen's art and a few touch ups around the windows where there is a bit of a gap between the front and back of the windows, but I feel it is complete enough to make the journey. Karen will also send me a photo of any of her new paintings to scale down for the gallery, so in a way it will be an on-going project.

Below is a final set of photos before I pack it up for its travel. There is not a lot new apart from the front which I have been furiously working on to get finished.

The Front Exterior



The Attic

I've added a rag and paper towels.


The Chill-Out Room


I made up a 'Paper Minis' book kit, A Collection of Still Life Paintings.

The cabinet is full of treasures including a vintage button with a Clydesdale horse on it.

The Upper Gallery


The Lower Gallery


I have added a sign advertising an exhibition by a guest artist, Gail Milne. Gail is another of my sisters (Karen's twin) and is also an artist.

The Whole Gallery


The Inside Door


The Lower Gallery Inside Window

Note the 'Please No Smoking' Sign

Signing Off

I was a good girl and remembered to sign and date the project.

Signing off now and passing the gift of my workmanship to my lovely sister Karen to house miniatures of her wonderful art work.

  10. A lovely gift for your sister! You should be so proud of your accomplishment! Now you can take this off your list of things to do. Isn't that great! One down and so many more to go because I don't think I ever saw such a huge list of things to do as the one you made for 2014. Oh well, you certainly will not be bored!
