My character Junior Masaman from the upcoming Elliott Earls movie, The Saranay Motel. He's a mysterious session musician and amateur maxillofacial surgical artist of sorts. Cigar Box guitar by Johnny Lowebow (and it is AMAZING!)
I'm working on a series of wee fairy houses within vintage wooden cigar boxes. I found this teddy bear furniture at Hobby Lobby recently and plan to distress, stain, size and fairyize it to fit nicely within the boxes. :)
Ukulele Ray's variety of original Lunchbox-A-Lele prototypes at at ArtSpace On 6th in Scottsdale, AZ.
This cigar box is a vintage "Meditation Natural" wooden box. I altered it and hand painted the furniture and accessories to make a little dollhouse world :). The painting technique I used required multiple layers of color and crackle to get this shabby look. Gold highlights were brushed on to give a little sparkle.
I installed a wee operable window, wallpaper, and curtains. The curtains are topped with handmade paper roses, tulle, gold ribbon and pearls.
This sitting room comes with dressing table w/mirror, porcelain tea cup and saucer, mail, LED battery-operated working hurricane lamp, rocking chair w/ handmade pillow, rug, clay flowers in pitcher, and teddy bear.
Size of the box is 6 1/2" x 6 3/4" x 2 1/4". All furniture and accessories are 1:12 scale.
Thanks for looking!

An actual relic. Circa 1900, this instrument is very similar to 1-string fiddles used in Yiddish Vaudeville.

It's a little bit dusty. I think cleaning it might take away its character!

I'm exploring the idea of creating little fairy houses within a vintage wooden cigar box. I love the idea of a little enclosed world :). Thanks for looking! Tori
Here is the top of the finished cigar box. I added the purple alcohol ink to the embossed flashing tape, but then I dabbed most of it up and went over it with Slate alcohol ink.
My latest project completed: a cigar box ukulele made with a La Aurora Preferido box. Not perfect, but it sounds kinda neat.
