The Waiting Game
Prue knew it was only a matter of time before the mistress of the house made a slip up with the new arrival in the house, and when it happened, she would be ready to pounce!
The theme for "Looking Close… on Friday" for the 22nd of November is "not a real one". This theme was perfect for me, as I have so many things within easy grasp that are not really what they seem. Anyone who follows my photostream knows that I love and collect 1:12 size miniatures which I photograph in realistic scenes. The artifice of recreating in minute detail items in 1:12 scale always amazes me, and it’s amazing how the eye can be fooled. Therefore for this week’s theme, I have used all 1:12 size miniatures to create an image, and nothing in it is real, not the sofa, the painting and its frame, the floral arrangement, the cat on the sofa, nor its unwitting prey! I hope you like my choice of subject for this week’s theme and that it makes you smile!
The cat sitting on the sofa is an antique curio made of porcelain produced in Germany in the 1880s that I have had since I was a teenager. I found it at a flea market. The gold satin upholstered sofa was made by the high-end miniature furniture maker, Bespaq. The coffee table in the foreground is made by the high-end miniature furniture maker, Creal. The floral arrangement and the painting in the gilt frame came from Kathleen Knight’s Dolls’ House Shop in the United Kingdom, as did the bird in the wicker cage in the foreground. The gold flocked Edwardian wallpaper is beautiful hand impressed paper given to me by a friend.
