Help!

I would like to make vanities, of course with mirrors. But I haven't got the faintest idea which material I can use for mirrors. I need  some foil or sheet with good quality fake mirror surface, maybe with adhesive blackside. Is there any like this and where can I get some? The real mirror is too thick and I don't know if I can cut it with my own tools. So if anybody have an idea for me, please leave me a comment, I would be really happy! I so much hate to have to stop a work not having the appropriate material! Thanks a lot!

Lemons

Last week I realized I've never made any lemons before. I gave them a try. They are a little bit darker shade of yellow than I wanted, maybe riper lemons?

And still for the publication

As I promised here are the items I also made for the publication. Sorry, the last little scene, the garden breakfast is not  ready yet, but only a few things I have to do with it.

Still for the publication

I think a fruit salad served in a watermelon shell is one of the most summery food you can make in miniature. I tried to present it as a miniature scene, too, surrounded with whole and half watermelon pieces. I hope tomorrow I will manage to be ready with all the miniatures I planned for the publication. Of course, further pictures are coming...

Black sideboard - the final version

Some planned items were added and some not, but I think this scene is ready. I made a backround wall and a piece of floor base to show the scene in a fitting milieu. Now this still life is waiting for only the photographer.

Black sideboard

I'm still working on the garden breakfast scene, and meanwhile another still life is on the finish. This black sideboard is made for the magazine, too. Some details are still missing, a few books, a bowl of cherries, a bottle of wine and perhaps a rosary around the cross. Any other ideas? I would like this still life to be in mainly dark shades with spanish feeling.




 Sorry, I didn't make good on my promise to make my next sideboard with real doors and drawers. Now in a hurry for my publication, so I haven't time to experiment with miniature hinges and inner furniture structures. Maybe after I'm over this all...

Into the garden...

I'm still here, just a little bit engaged. There were some birthdays in my family, Easter, springbreak, garden works and many orders, thanks to you! Now I try to make a still life scene again, with a garden theme. This mosaic table will be the base for all. Making the mosaic pattern was very (VERY) time consuming, but it was worth the extra work. I used thin, baked fimo sheets for the pattern. I will add a garden breakfast tray onto the table with some flowers. This miniature scene would be the part of a magazine article, which I was asked to make some miniature summer food for. It's not a miniature themed magazin, since there isn't any like this in Hungary, but a gastronomical issue. But I think, it doesn't matter at all! So I'm absolutely in a fever. I want to make no less than the most amazing miniatures I've ever made.
