The Tower

















As you all now know, this year you can follow our creation a 'Good Witch' Tower in the AIM Magazine

We are thrilled at being asked to do a regular monthly slot and the series will begin with the kit review. We have purchased a Dolls House Emporium Gatehouse Kit for this, of course, we wouldn't be Bearcabinminiatures if we didn't alter it a little to make it into The Tower! :) The series will follow the construction, decoration and furnishing of the Tower, with everything handmade or adapted by ourselves or fellow AIM members. I have all my plans and ideas laid out, I just have to get busy making them all now!

I will be working on the Tower regularly throughout the month, but I won't be sharing until the articles are out in the AIM Magazine and then I will do a little 'extra' 'Tower' post here :)

So, to wet your appetite, here are a couple of special items that will feature in the Tower...







The AIM magazine is published for free online at the beginning of every month, I will give you all a gentle reminder when it's out :)

Hope you all have a great weekend,

Julia xxx

  8. Thank you all, I hope you will enjoy following this, though it will be a long project! Hopefully, I will tempt some more of you into the witch theme as this Tower will be a soft, subtle witch theme. The gorgoeus little dragon is by Nicky, here's her link:

  11. I'm so excited with this new project... know what? I'm doing the Gatehouse Tower, too - for my beary witch project. Slow but steady going for a long time. It will be fantastic to see what profis like you and your husband will do out of this tower. Good for me that my project is more the funny type... ;O)

    Greetings
