Working Miniature, Dollhouse Arco Lamp Video Tutorial

After many months of preparing and dwelling on the idea, I have finally finished my video tutorial.  The hold-up was over the lack of a tripod.  There was a whole long histoire about filming, with lots of drama.  Eventually, as with most issues, I decided to do without a tripod or a cameraman and do things ghetto style - if anyone in the ghetto ever decided to make a movie about DIY dollhouse arco lamps, that is.  The result is one of the most amateurish videos ever, but it is my first.  I am proud of it.  If the process is overwhelming and you prefer to buy a finished lamp, visit  http://www.etsy.com/shop/LaPetiteModerne.  Enjoy the video!

Miniature Saarinen Tulip Table Now Available

The first of my miniatures are now finished.  I made seven tulip tables, about 4 of which are sellable.  I will be placing them on Etsy in the next few days.  I feel I need to incorporate before I make the Arco lamps available, for liability purposes.  Not that I expect a battery powered miniature light fixture to burst into flames, but who knows?  I added the little yellow gloves that I made from a used pair of mine.  Isn't it adorable?
