Thanks to Kris at 1 Inch Minis. I made this beautiful basket from her tutorial. I will be making more of these!
Sail boats by Mercedes of Liberty Biberty; handpainted pillow and shelf by Sandy Copeland; candles by Gaye of My Small Obsession; painting by Joan. Everything else in the photo was made or adapted by me.
Kathi, to simplify things a bit I used stain markers instead of liquid stain. I'm not very patient and this way I didn't have to wait for the stain to dry. :)
I got mine in a 3 pack at Wal-mart. They were in the paint/hardware dept. They are meant for hiding scratches in furniture but they are perfect for staining small minis.
I've been happily married for 33 years to my high school sweetheart and we have three great kids. All are young adults. I'm currently working part time as an instructional assistant at the local elementary school. My mini life is especially important to me because it takes me away (better than a bubble bath!) from the stresses of real life. I've been involved with mini-ing since the late 1980s with a break for about 10 years while my children were young.
My faith and my family are very important to me. I am so thankful that God blessed me with the gift of creativity!

~good tip on the stain markers!!:)
Great idea De! I'll have to look for those markers. Love the effect you did on your basket. It really looks like wood!
