I was asked to make a Tiny World in this gravy boat; this will be the one part of the dish set that they will keep. It was fun to figure out how to make it work in a vessel that isn’t round!

Tis the season!
Next up, Tiny Worlds
In just a little more than a week, I will be setting up my booth at Paradise City Art Festival in Marlborough MA! If you are planning to go, here is a link to get a ticket discount. Right now I am working on Tiny Worlds.

Tiny house, tiny town, tiny world!
I have acquired some very pretty teacups in the last year or so and I’m excited to turn them into something new!
I got a shoebox full of these cups and saucers from my neighbor who was clearing out her house.
And this teacup (below) came from the one thrifting expedition that I have done in the last 18 months or so.
It is fun to completely change gears! Of course changing gears in my world can be sort of messy…
And I have grandkitty Hattie staying in the house these days- she is helping me out :-)
By the Sea Tiny Worlds
Two lighthouses for the end of summer.
I bought a whole box of cups, saucers, and 2-handled cups (?) in the below style so there will be lots of future scene in them.
This cup and saucer make me think, rough seas ahead!
TW 11 and 12- Lighthouses!
The last 2 for now are 2 lighthouses.
The ocean and snowy tiny worlds are rarer because I have to find the right kind of cup to put them in. Somehow, flower designs don’t work for me and they are what I find most when I am in the thrift store.
TW 9 and 10- Fairy Houses
Forget-Me-Nots and Lily of the Valley decorate this cup.
This is a glass sugar bowl, I think? It came with a creamer which I will make into something another day.
Tiny Worlds 7 and 8
A bright yellow house. It is fun to use the same cup and using the colors of the decoration, come up with a variety of designs.
This Tiny World is made on a lovely cup with Paul Revere’s historic ride.

Winter in Boston didn’t show up this year until March! We had enough snow to cover the ground yesterday but it was pretty much all gone by this morning. I will be happy if I don’t see any more real snow until next November at the earliest.
This kind of snow I can deal with. And OOPS! Ignore that hair on my snowy hill!
Tiny World Pincushions 3 and 4
Another tea cup with violets.
And a mid-century Modern cup and saucer, made in Germany and found in a thrift shop.
