About a month ago, I very unexpectedly sold a piece to a gentleman who makes Sailor's Valentines in pocket watch cases. I had some cases for him and I brought this along to show him what I did with the watchworks. I called this my "Alchemist's Cabinent". Coincidentally, his father was a pharmacist and he intends to keep this under a dome....just to have. I was thunderstruck at the time when he asked to buy it and still am a little. I had no photos of it and he promised to take some and send them to me. These arrived last night, as promised.
Visit his site www.sailors-valentine.com to see some really beautiful, tiny things! If I sell enough of my things, maybe I can afford one of his.....sigh....

What an amazing cabinet Susan, I need to add some of those documents and scrolls etc to Dumbeldores office, so this is great inspiration thanks! Kate xx
Hi Susan.
Brilliant shelf and lovely long scrolls.
I love the colour of your wood too.
Brilliant.
Full ticks... lol

Ah Nik...the color of the wood. That's easy. Minwax Golden Oak and judiciously applied India Ink w/denatured alcohol combo. Make things look old and worn. A little trick I learned a looong time ago from Bill Landford. Use more alcohol than ink in the mixture...
