Doodads and doohickeys.....

My friend and fellow miniaturist came down on Tuesday and we caught up on mini things.

She also brought down a package of IV clips and asked if I had any idea what they could be used for. Nothing occurred to me but I said I would take them to club and ask for input. So at the beginning of the meeting, I passed two of them around with a sheet of paper.

1 1/8" x 1/2"

• legs for dolls, elves' feet
• stacked and trimmed, they could be trays
• table legs
• mandolin (the slicing kind)
• lined up for a fence
• on their sides for a fence in 1:48
• snow shoes
• 1:48 scale curtains (upright with opening at the bottom)
• used to hold a light fixture
• a chair back (slats)
• sign post: upright with a toothpick up the centre and paper on both sides. Add a base of a circle of foamcare.
• undermount wine glass holder

The answers were read aloud at the end of the meeting.

This was a lot of fun and quite enlightening so we've decided to do it at each meeting.

Tina has a doohickey at home that she's wondering what to make of so she will bring that to the next meeting.
