Almost out of the office

This final week before the summer break has been crawling past. But just one more day to go (less, if our secretary sends out a 'You can all go home now' email mid-afternoon tomorrow).

So with little brain space left for creativity, I figured another round-up was in order: offices.

One-twelfth scale modern miniature architect's office with Eames chairs, a white table and architectural photos framed on the wall.

One-twelfth scale modern miniature office scene in shades of light blue and orange, with a dolls pulling out a visitors' chair on one side of the desk.

It was actually quite hard to define in my mind what should be included,

and what shouldn't. This scene squeaked in, even though it's more of a home office:

where as this scene didn't, as it's more a shop or showroom than an office.

I'm sure I've missed some and will add the tag to them when they pop up...

Today was the first day of the second week of my holiday. It's also the first time in years that I've had so much time off over Christmas, which I could get used to very easily.

And tomorrow's the end of the year. I have a wee treat* planned to mark the occasion.

(*Or a big adventure, depending on how you look at it...)

A questionable exercise

While I was putting away the pieces from my last scene I spotted a couple of things I'd picked up weeks ago from the Typo factory outlet lurking in the piles of things to use.

And, suddenly, there was another scene.

Can you guess what it is?

Here's another clue...

It's the office of a lady P.I.!

(Perhaps it's our big game hunter, who has upgraded her office since we last visited?)

I've obviously been watching too much Ugly Betty recently...

As I suddenly felt the need to create a homage to the Mode offices...

I ended up creating a second space-saving version of the room:

Big game hunter

A surprise delivery from Amazing Miniatures this week included a fabulous perspex chair and one of her new perspex rhino heads.

Which inspired me to create my first scene in a while.

I envisage it as the office of a successful 50-something single woman, who's still looking for Mr Right.

Scene in context

So here are the final framed photos, along with a few other things I've made this weekend: the desk (why it's taken me this long to make one, I don't know!)

and some more books for the (mini) book shelves.
