Display Case Tutorial Part 5

Last part... we are finally done! I think this was somewhere between 8-12 hours. Not really sure though.

Here it is....


For the trim I added to the top, I used the same technique as for the decorative disk at the bottom, only with rolled out snakes instead of a ball. That hid my glue mishap well! I kept it a solid brown oxide to match the other trims and places that I did that.

I cut a piece of red velvet for the inside. I think it really makes it pop!

Here's a front view.

Side view.

Back view.
I forgot to say earlier that when I was painting, I dry brushed some black and brown on the hinges so they wouldn't look so new.

Then I decided to play dress up J.




Well, what do you think? I think it turned out okay by the end. I hope everyone enjoyed following along, hope I didn't get you too lost!

Morgan, this will be on it's way to you Monday or Tuesday J.

    Just read the whole thing through Lorraine. Nicely presented tutorial and what a great piece in the end! Amazing what can be done with polymer clay... Clever save on the "frosting" of the glass.
    Thank you for putting this all together and posting it. I know how time consuming it is making the item, taking the pictures, downloading the pictures, uploading the pictures, writing the comentary, etc, etc!!

    Your a great sport to go to the time and trouble.

    Lorraine, one word, BRILLIANT! For thinking about how it's to be done (a display cabinet! wow! your husband may be right about keeping this one :) you'll just have to make another for yourself), for the tutorial, for the painting (I see you don't really care what colour clay you use because you can paint it into anything :):). Thank you for sharing this , Lorraine. I have not really worked with clay and you make it look too easy :).

    I have decided it is really tough to take pictures of painting steps. Once you start painting, it's hard to stop to do other things :)

    It's so wonderful! I can't wait to get it. I have a 1:12 room box on it's way to display it in. I can't wait to get it.

    Thank you and your welcome to Clara, May, Cia and Iris! Did you guys notice I joined your blogs :)

    Sans, the painting steps really are hard to picture once you get going. Sometimes I use scrap clay to make things that will be painted, waste not! :)

    Morgan, can't wait to see what you do to the roombox!

    Thanks Mieljolie! I make so many small things and I never have anywhere to put them... of course I still don't since I gave this away XD.

    Thanks Rosella!!!
