A couple months (feels like days) back I completed this unique and very metaphorical piece - it's now in my Etsy store, for sale, along with all my other creations looking for a home... - 'When one door closes another opens' is the tile of this piece that I've extracted from my imagination and represented on this form... - The whole point of this piece was to initially communicate the positive attitude that can be applied to life that when one door closes another opens... #fireextinguisher #vintage #smallfurniture #wallsanddoors #whenonedoorcloses #themedart #smallscale #cornertable #timecapsuleart #mentalhealthquotes #myart #modelmaker #artist #thisweekindioramas #dioramamaker #timecapsulescratchbuilder #timecapsuleart #meaningfulart #scalemodel #makersjourney #metaphoricalart #scratchbuilt #art #lettheartdothetalking #diorama #artistoninstagram #dioramaart #craftsmanship #metaphorforlife #handmade https://www.instagram.com/p/CFxLXvhnAxV/?igshid=2rqz71s8wozd

(1/24 scale) 'One door closes...' I've always wanted an excuse to do a miniature fire extinguisher and now I've found a reason... I used a straw, BB pellet and then plasticard cut to shape oh and some electrical wire. The Fire extinguisher details are a sticker I made on word 👍 have a lovely boiling evening all 🔥😁 #fireextinguisher #vintage #smallfurniture #wallsanddoors #whenonedoorcloses #themedart #smallscale #cornertable #timecapsuleart #thepasttothefuture #myart #modelmaker #artist #floor #dioramamaker #timecapsulescratchbuilder #timecapsuleart #meaningfulart #scalemodel #makersjourney #modelmaking #scratchbuilt #art #lettheartdothetalking #diorama #artistoninstagram #dioramaart #craftsmanship #artist #handmade https://www.instagram.com/p/CB3YQKoHrhB/?igshid=1ox89g5qt6j3j

(1/24 scale) 'When one door closes...' The whole point of this piece was to initially communicate the positive attitude that can be applied to life that when one door closes another opens, where that may lead and what that might look like are to be found out by you. I slowly developed this idea by adding in elements that suggest this further. The fire extinguisher represents the desperation that I have felt at times in life and that I tried my best to put the fire out but it wasn't enough and so the fire still burns behind the door... I was maybe trapped in my own head space, a lobby of sorts searching for an answer to my future and brushing any failures under the carpet. It was only by looking back through my memories and reconnecting with myself that I found the next chapter. I read things that maybe pushed me in a forward direction and made me believe that a door was there. Once I dealt with any failures I realised that a new door had opened infront of me. I perhaps wanted to go back many times but instead I read the 'do not disturb' sign and continued into the light of what ever my new adventure held for me... This is my personal interpretation of the story that this piece holds but I would love to know if you relate to it in any way? #fireextinguisher #vintage #smallfurniture #wallsanddoors #whenonedoorcloses #themedart #smallscale #cornertable #timecapsuleart #mentalhealthquotes #myart #modelmaker #artist #floor #dioramamaker #timecapsulescratchbuilder #timecapsuleart #meaningfulart #scalemodel #makersjourney #modelmaking #scratchbuilt #art #lettheartdothetalking #diorama #artistoninstagram #dioramaart #craftsmanship #artist #handmade https://www.instagram.com/p/CCEUQhZHbR5/?igshid=4ncyz5qpx8su

(1/24 scale) 'When one door closes...' Just doing a little bit of reading... This is a tiny book I've made that sits on the corner table open on two pages that says 'The next chapter'. My thinking is that when a door closes in life it must be seen as the turning of a page, a new opportunity and low and behold a door opens before you... On the closed door I've included a little 'do not disturb sign' I mean you don't want to walk in to the past do you? Also I've just uploaded my behind the scenes Saturday video on YouTube which is where you can see some of the progress to date (I do talking in these videos too which is weird 😂) #donotdisturb #vintage #smallfurniture #wallsanddoors #whenonedoorcloses #themedart #smallscale #thenextchapter #timecapsuleart #thepasttothefuture #myart #modelmaker #artist #littlebooks #dioramamaker #timecapsulescratchbuilder #timecapsuleart #meaningfulart #scalemodel #makersjourney #modelmaking #scratchbuilt #art #lettheartdothetalking #diorama #artistoninstagram #dioramaart #craftsmanship #artist #handmade https://www.instagram.com/p/CB8WJeqn07_/?igshid=otugil5d9q36

(1/24 scale) A few little pieces I've put together that will be important going forward. The corner table was inspired by a few corner tables I looked up online. The books will both be titled 'Good memories' and 'Bad memories'... #smallbooks #vintage #smallfurniture #wallsanddoors #whenonedoorcloses #themedart #smallscale #cornertable #timecapsuleart #thepasttothefuture #myart #modelmaker #artist #floor #dioramamaker #timecapsulescratchbuilder #timecapsuleart #meaningfulart #scalemodel #makersjourney #modelmaking #scratchbuilt #art #lettheartdothetalking #diorama #artistoninstagram #dioramaart #craftsmanship #artist #handmade https://www.instagram.com/p/CB02q7SnUmI/?igshid=9ri71nrn3pc3

(1/24 scale) 'When one door closes...' This weekend I've added in a further two LED's behind the open door and added in a curved white background to simulate all the possibilities the future may hold! I've also weathered the door frame around the 'do not disturb door' to simulate the blazing fire sweeping through and staining the wallpaper... #donotdisturb #metaphor #smallfurniture #wallsanddoors #whenonedoorcloses #themedart #smallscale #thenextchapter #timecapsuleart #thepasttothefuture #myart #modelmaker #artist #fire #dioramamaker #timecapsulescratchbuilder #timecapsuleart #meaningfulart #scalemodel #makersjourney #modelmaking #scratchbuilt #art #lettheartdothetalking #diorama #artistoninstagram #dioramaart #craftsmanship #artist #handmade https://www.instagram.com/p/CB_HLz6na0O/?igshid=16wph32d3klds

(1/24 scale) I've added some details to the two door frames. I want them to be similar to represent they are connected. I've taken inspiration from a picture I found on Google images 😁 it's got a bit of 'The shinning' vibe going on haha don't be confused in the video I've uploaded as mid week I fitted the battery door with screws and I show that in the video however I've since changed to a sliding mechanism 👍 #smallart #vibing #smallartists #wallsanddoors #whenonedoorcloses #themedart #smallscale #button #timecapsuleart #thepasttothefuture #myart #modelmaker #artist #floor #dioramamaker #timecapsulescratchbuilder #timecapsuleart #meaningfulart #scalemodel #makersjourney #modelmaking #scratchbuilt #art #lettheartdothetalking #diorama #artistoninstagram #dioramaart #craftsmanship #artist #handmade https://www.instagram.com/p/CBqhHodnm1H/?igshid=szj5amew1ylo
