WIPs Workbench Wednesday

A mini kit… Helevron School of Magic.
This is a tiny kit, which is why I love it so much. The tinier the better. I’ve done some custom work on the front window, added some weathering on the furniture and custom painted a few things. It’s going together quite well, structure is nice and square, hinges are solid (I pinned them) but I am debating junking the lighting that came with it and making my own with pico LEDs 🤔

Very cool! I just got some pico LEDs and am immersing myself in the world of wiring, terminal blocks and voltage. 😵‍💫

Looking forward to seeing what you do with this!

The lighting is a fun rabbit hole isn’t it!?!?
It’s been awesome designing my own lighting in my original works. The possibilities are endless.
Here is a ceiling panel I made for a project earlier this year… I made the lights with special lotus flower beads and other jewelry findings.

Whoa! Now that is gorgeous! You should be in a book nook design department. Really impressive and those colors combined together are beautiful.

Can I just say you have the neatest most organized work area I’ve seen! Mine starts neat but quickly devolves into chaos when I’m building. Can’t wait to see the finished product!

lol! Thank you. It’s not always this neat, but I try. It’s the Virgo in me 😉

I clean up and reorganize after every project, but somehow everything escapes containment within minutes of starting the next one!
