Apothicaire - Apothecary - Streets of Paris Event - VIDEO TUTORIAL - NEW IMAGE SETS


The final business in the Streets of Paris event is an apothecary.  Just as with the Bookstore, I’ve used a smaller bay window attached to the second floor on one of the sides to create a faux business.  In the window are bottles, vintage drugstore ads, and a mini scale with weights.
You’ll notice that the window has a pretty blue awning and the faux glass in the window has the business name and other details printed on it; you’ll find both of these free images further down in the post.
On the front of the building, I used die-cut scrollwork to hang vintage drugstore ads that you’ll find in my new Vintage Drugstore Ads collage sheet or in the larger Vintage Drugstore Ads digital image set.
Once again, for lighting, I’ve used a tea light that is hidden under the awing.

NEW - VINTAGE DRUGSTORE ADS COLLAGE SHEET
This sheet contains 19 images, some funny and some creepy.  To purchase the sheet below, click on the image.

NEW - VINTAGE DRUGSTORE ADS DIGITAL IMAGE SET

Elevator - Streets of Paris Event - VIDEO TUTORIAL - NEW IMAGE SET


At long last, the Paris shops have installed an elevator in the center of the building.  


 The secret to this elevator is an easy-to-assemble lantern kit, which makes the construction a breeze.  

By adding vintage stained glass images (from my new digital image set, details below) printed on vellum to the inside, filigree, and elevator images (free further down in the post) to the outside, you can create a lovely miniature elevator.
On the inside of the lid is a tea light which gives the inside a soft glow.  The elevator is suspended from the opening in the ceiling using a combination of basswood, chain, and pulley.
In the video tutorial, I cover how to construct the elevator. Although this elevator is a non-working one, in the tutorial, I cover how to make one that is working, plus the option of using a staircase instead.

This image set contains 29 unique stained glass images.  These images are great for collage projects or used as faux stained glass (printed on transparency film) in miniature projects.  To purchase this image set, click on the image below.

Librairie Ancienne & Moderne - Old & Modern Bookstore - Streets of Paris Event


Upstairs above the Cafe du Chat Noir is the Librairie Ancienne & Moderne (Old & Modern Bookstore).
Notice the sign on the second floor.
In the lighted window, you can see all kinds of books shaded by an elegant awning.
Since the area on the second-floor sides is open, I decided to use some bay windows to create a faux business.  The first of two businesses is a bookstore.  I’ve used a 1/24 scale window as there isn’t enough room for the full-sized bay windows I used on the bottom.  Even though it is half the scale of the windows below, it still works well with the scale of the building.
To give the shop more presence, I added a sandwich board advertising the shop and a case of books to the sidewalk.

To go along with this project, I have a new collage sheet plus a video tutorial where I walk you through how I constructed the bookshop window. 

NEW - FRENCH BOOKSTORE COLLAGE SHEET
This sheet contains bookstore-themed items such as an awning that is sized to fit the “Regular Bay Window – Half Scale – Large Center Window” but could also be used for your other miniature projects.  There are four posters, a sidewalk sandwich board, a business sign, and lots of bookstore section shelf labels.  To purchase this sheet, click on the image below.

MAISON de la MODE - House of Fashion - Streets of Paris Event


Maison de la Mode is now open for business and is carrying elegant fashions and accessories.
In the bay window, you’ll find a sampling of the items the shop carries.

The shop occupies all three rooms on the second floor with doorways between each room.
Sparkling lighted (with fairy lights) chandeliers grace two of the rooms and the front bay window.
A vintage cash register sits atop a wood counter painted in complementary colors.
The hole in the floor is to accommodate an elevator which is coming soon.
The walls are decorated with sundry fashion-themed posters.
In addition to jewelry, the shop carries the lovely velvet jewelry box pictured below made from a chipboard kit.
There is a large selection of hats and gloves.
Each room is packed with all kinds of beautiful products showcased on glass shelves and in glass cases.
Throughout the shop, you’ll find lovely dresses.
The balconies are a perfect place to display the shop’s line of couture dresses.

To go along with this project I have created four new collage sheets and two digital image sets plus a video tutorial where I walk you through how I outfitted the shop.  You’ll also find a button below that when clicked takes you to a large photo album crammed with additional pictures.
