A dinosaur in my Cabinet

A small dinosaur of undetermined species and unknown era took place in the Cabinet. The skull comes from secret excavations under my dollhouse. I built the display box for the monster. That box was easy to make, because it wasn't Godzilla-sized, just tiny bat-sized.



I also added some shells in the display table


And found a new home for my naturalised seahorse.

Egyptian cat mummy



The Curiosities Cabinet is proud to present two new additions to the Egyptian fund. Two cat mummies of the Late Period coming from the necropolis of Tell el-Ashmounein. Of course they are 1:12 scale and made of FIMO, the wrapping is particularly meticulous but not made of linen [I didn't have fine linen ].



Art Nouveau carpet



At last I finished this carpet. I can't remember how many hours I have worked on this one, but I'm satisfied with the results. I eventually have the colours and the the design I planned.

Witch travel trunk


I had planned a few years ago to build a witch cottage. I know it's not original, but I like witches, so I've decided to make witch stuff anyways. Some three years ago, I bought an Orchid kit by Greenleaf to make this witch cottage, or maybe a fairy house, or the house of Little Red Riding Hood's granny, or the house of the seven dwarves in Snow White or ... something else. The kit is safely kept under my bed, it follows me untouched moving after moving. I have made more and more witch stuff and Harry Potter items. I have built a Harrry Potter shop, called "Les Dragons Azimutés" , but still no cottage. My world of wizzardry is always on the move, which is why I needed a travel trunk especially designed for witches.
