a little bit smaller

Thought I would see how small I could go and still keep the detail, well this is it, a dolls house communion set in 1/24th scale. The goblet measures just 5/16" tall. Had to make three lids for the flagon as I lost the first two, dropped them and never to be seen again!!

Feeling a little lopsided!!!!!!!!!

I love turning these, a mortar & pestle along with 2 quirky lopsided goblets, am busy making stock for my next fair but also love turning a few things for ebay, these three items are in the exotic wood cocobolo.

I use my own technique for turning things lopsided. Now listed on ebay item 120738941294

busy inventing

Had an idea last night and spent a couple of hours this morning turning and putting together.

This is a 'penastrole', it is a ring of the future for a wizard or experienced witch.

I have turned this in rosewood and cocobolo and different pieces of acrylic, it measures

1" diameter and 3/4" tall to the top of the astrolobe.

still on the wacky things

Something else a bit different, still trying to come up with new ideas, this time a Wizard's staff, this one I have turned in an exotic wood 'cocobolo' it measures 4" long.

The handle end measures approx 3mm wide.

Normal turnings

A day off work means a day in the workshop, gone a bit more normal this time, but soon back to my witchy things, this time though I have turned a dolls house communion set in olive wood, what a lovely wood to use, but very hard to get hold of, got a few pieces left though.

Just put this set on ebay.

Checking your dreams

Ideal for a witch, a pensieve, I have turned this in three seperate pieces, rosewood, cocobolo and acrylic.

It measures 2" high.

As seen in the Harry Potter films, a pensieve will allow the user to review their dreams, I can visualise this with two or three witches stood around it arguing over who will use it next.

Yes I'm still in my witchy mode, life is never boring in my workshop.

Unusual turnings

Back at work but still working on new miniatures, the items above are medical, but also suitable for a witch, a pill silverer and antique stethoscope, below is a medicine holder, a witch could let the brew mature and then pour it into the goblet for drinking.

These are now all listed on ebay.
