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.
Picture in a book of La Gardo Tackett's garden sculptures, with a container of wooden beads next to it.

 And so it was off downstairs to the spray can collection for a makeover:
Four geometric wooden beads lined in a cardboard box, having just been spray painted white.
Now I have to wait 24 hours before I can do the second coat and then another 24 hours until they're dry,,,
