WOYWW #606 - bizarre bazaar beginnings

 Hello all you deskers,

Hope you're having a fabulous week and staying safe and well. Is it REALLY Wednesday again?! 

Time to show you my desk and then pop over to Julia's Stamping Ground to hook up and have a nosey around some other crafty desks. Here's mine then ...

This is the beginnings of my latest nooknook project - it's going to be an Eastern Bazaar ... kind of. I was inspired by the lovely Shoshi's miniature carpet designs - I had thought I'd make some to go in my miniature rooms, but then I thought it would be fun to have a carpet shop and the idea just snowballed from there. I've never been to Morocco or Egypt or Turkey or anywhere like that where they have the kind of place I want to create, so it will probably be a bit far-fetched, but that's ok - it's my little world so I can make my Bazaar as bizarre as I like :o)

The base is made from chipboard, then I glued on a layer of tissue before adding acryic paint. Here's a closer look ...

The sections open out to facilitate lighting and to give me extra space for little shops full of exotic goodies. Eventually I'll make the ends look like book spines to sit on a shelf. I've made a pile of tiny tiles to decorate some of the walls - they were printed onto glossy paper, then cut out and stuck onto squares of card and sanded to finish the edges ...

To give you an idea of scale, the smaller ones are about 1cm. A labour of love, but nice to do whilst binge-watching Virgin River on Netflix :o)

That's it for me, see you over at Julia's - be there or be square!
