Jeweled Miniature Celestial Instruments

Some new Jeweled Miniature Celestial Instruments. I did not age down the brass as much I usually do..So these seem to be more shiny and jeweled than my usual celestial instruments.
They are available on page here:

Most the instruments shown with Todd Krueger's 1/12 scale wizard. To show size..

And just to show Todd's wonderful wizard.. Heheh..

 Wizard Sun, Moon, and Star Lens. A very pretty purple blue glass cab in the center.

 

 

 

 Lots of gears and parts under a thick lens.

 Crystal Ball Orrery.. I got this idea from the recent "Red Ridding Hood" Movie..

Although I really did not like the movie.. I loved the orrery in the movie.

 Some interesting orreries with lenses. The lenses magnify the gears when you look down into them.

Special Commission Table and 200th follower...

Hay everyone.. almost a month since my last post.. and Wow I noticed I have 200 people following my blog now. Weird people care about my work enough to to hit the follow button.. Hehe.. Thanks so much to everyone and Hello to all the new followers out there..

Been trying to catch up with some of my commissions. Thought I would share one with you.

This is a larger scale miniature table.. Not really sure what scale it would be. A collector from the Netherlands asked if I could make a wizard table that would fit into his display cabinet. The table is a little over 8" long and 5" tall without all the stuff on top..

Candelabras and Orreries

Some of my new candelabras available on my web page. I have not made any candles for years..
I am proud how the stands turned out and I think they look good displayed in my medieval book shop.

I have also some new orreries, hourglasses, crystal balls and other metal minis available.
