In a mod mood

I chose this sofa that Mod Pod miniatures sent me back in February as the starting point for a scene.

Mid century modern miniature sofa with attached coffee table.

While digging through the stash I realised that the Jens Risom chair that was in Elvira's parcel went rather well with it.

I added a few gifted and purchased accessories

and a stone floor (last seen in January last year).

And then I had an 'Aha!' moment as I remembered the box of op-shopped beads I picked up in April 2012 and tucked away. And how much they resembled the La Gardo Tackett garden sculptures I'd admired at the California Design 1930–1965: Living in a Modern Way exhibition in Brisbane back in January.
