I wanted to showcase my black furniture and this wall hanging is the result.

From Brenda McDougall:
Here are some photos from my “Manhattan Glam” project. This is a 1:48th scale Art Deco Manhattan penthouse built inside an Art Deco candy box.
The views from the floor-to-ceiling windows are actual photographs of Manhattan at night. With the exception of the grand piano, I made all the furniture from scratch. The gold fabric is silk a friend brought back from France. There is a full bar set up – with ‘glasses’ – ready for the evening entertainment. The full shot of the bedroom with some of the details on the door and dresser.There is the very tiniest of “kitten-heeled mule” slippers lying beside the bed – the only thing that is out of place in the apartment.

This was the Miniature World of Central Florida project for 1995-1996 and was designed by Ron Mummert. In 1995, my family visited Arizona and I was able to get the furniture kits and the Native American pieces that are on top of the fireplace. Rainbow Hand made the kachina. I really like the modern, light look of the room.

I have a 1950s kitchen built in a breadbox from the same era.
I wanted as much detail as possible, including the Photoplay and MAD magazines, grilled cheese sandwich, roller skates, and Mom’s cigarette in an ashtray.

From Betty Turmon:
The container for my Art deco bedroom is an old Art deco clock. The doll is by Kat Wingler. I made all the furniture. The chairs are covered with thin black leather from an old glove. The challenge was fitting a battery and switch inside. This room was so much fun to do.

From Sharon Zingery:
This is an eclectic composition. There is a lucite table and two lucite cats. I purchased the wonky cabinet at the Bishop show. Shannon Test punch-needled the zebra rug. The grandfather clock is actually an ornament from a Frank Lloyd Wright gift shop. Unfortunately, the clock face is temporarily gone missing. The Pete Aquisto silver frame was a gift and a cast theme luncheon. A picture of the cat is of my recently deceased Luca. And eclectic collection from various sources. One plant from the left is from the class I took with Charrita Teague. The stand is actually intended as a pastry display. I had the black loose side cut to fit the loose side box. Send that I could have a modern looking floor. I included the picture with him was out the Loose eye cover because I thought you might prefer one over the other.
