It's So Hard To See Clearly.....
There is not much to show that is New, Dear Readers, in the Tree House Library, and what little has been added is Difficult to Show! To begin with, another panel of the Divine Blue Ceiling has been adorned with stars. I am not gluing the panels in place just yet as that makes it SO difficult to access any of the interior parts of the room.... I want to hold off as long as possible! So you can see the gaps where they don't quite stay in place. But even though looking Up at the ceiling requires bodily contortions... I think it is worth it and is starting to look the way I imagine it should! From the very beginning of this project I have Imagined making this room a "Cabinet of Curiosities" .... filled with objects that a Victorian collector would find interesting.... or a Naturalist would collect.... So I have Begun to assemble a few pieces of this collection....
But here I am afraid you will have to stretch your Imaginations if not your bodies....
because the results are not as perfect as I would like.....
The First exhibit is supposed to be a Glass Flower....
an orchid, perhaps....
You can see the beginnings below....
And it is displayed under a Bell Jar....
Which makes it kind of hard to see.....
And it is a trifle Large for the scale......
(Made from a Gelatin Capsule..... I want to find smaller ones...!)
And when you put it in the Library.... it all but Disappears!!!
(Well.... it IS a Glass item inside a Glass Jar!!)
Unless you shine a Glaring Light on the back of the room!
And even then it is so easily overlooked....
I want to make some more of these...
And there will be other "Collections" too....
But they are So hard to see!!!
One other thing that I managed to make this week I almost decided not to try....
I wanted a Gothic Candelabra to sit on the Library Table.....
So I started with some wire and jewelry findings and beads....
I forgot to take any pictures until it was mostly assembled....
I started to paint the candles white.....
But then decided the color was wrong for this room....
Besides.... they are beeswax candles......
So I painted them a lovely ocher color....
And when I had trimmed the wires to the right length, I tried it out in the Library.....
And I had to add my Favorite Glitter Flames to the candles.....
Can you even See the glittery parts?
(These are SO hard to photograph!!!)
Or now... can you see the Burning Flames...???
Or when we try it in the Library..... Can you see them Now???
Or Closer.....
(And can you even see the Invisible Bell Jar Behind the Candles...?)
Or shine an additional Light into the room......
Or move the Bell Jar closer......
Where it Might even get Noticed......
If you look Really Carefully!
So that's my week......
One thing and Another......
Really hard to see!
