The full scene.
Lipstick on the cup and mug is, well, lipstick.
Front view of sink. Not easy to see here, but I simulated the "gunk" that gathers on a bottle of dish detergent with Gallery Glass stain (sunflower).
View from the top. I knicked the "cane" of the Chrysonbon chair to make it look old and unraveled.
Kitty really wants his kibble. The sink drainpipe are two bendy straws put together. |
This was another throw-together-in-a-weekend project. I'd been thinking about and saving stuff for the scene for some time.
When I was in high school my girlfriend's mother had a sign in her kitchen "This mess is a place." It tickled me. Recently, when I was experimenting with making mini bubble bath scenes I discvoered that clear beads look like dirty sudsy water rather than pretty bubble bath (use pearlescent beads for bubble bath). I made the bag of tipped over pet food (is it the cat's or the dog's? It's the cat's now) from a bag filled with a mixure of tiny beads, glue, and burnt umber paint. Plaque made by me (obviously). The sink, Chrysonbon chair and Chrysonbon plates/cups/bowls were purchases at mini shops that collected in my cabinet. The dog, ditto. Purchased for the room from Mainly Minis: Cat, dog bowl, dish detergent bottle, cat towel holder and towel, and checkerboard mug. (Mainly Minis has the coolest accessories.) Scroll down for close-ups. This scene now resides in my kitchen. |
