The Perfect Pieces for the Compact Contemporary Home

            Made by Florida wood turning artist Stan Liner, these beautiful wooden pieces would look beautiful gracing the hall, living room or dining room of any contemporary home, adding a smartness and style with their elegant lines and beautiful woodgrains.  Stan uses exotic woods like African Ebony and Bubinga.  So why a compact home?  Well, in truth these four pieces of beautifully turned wood, are in fact pieces from my 1:12 miniature collection.  Stan Liner is a miniature artisan, specialising in making wonderful pieces out of cast off pieces of rare wood.  The Bubinga wood finial on the two piece footed urn makes this piece only two and a half centimetres in height!  Incidentally, the finial, which is five millimetres in diameter, can be removed from the urn, just like a life sized urn lid can be! 

The theme for "Looking Close on Friday" on the 29th of March is "wood grain".  I had several ideas, including a lidded container I have made of rare Tasmanian Huon Pine and a close up of one of my fence palings.  Then, after I took a couple of rather disappointing images of the Huon Pine lidded container, I suddenly remembered these beautifully hand turned wooden miniatures made by artisan Stan Liner.  The pieces stand on a miniature demilune table featuring a mirrored top, and the background is wonderfully hand printed paper from an artist friend of mine in America which wrapped one of her Christmas gifts to me.  Anyone who follows my photostream knows that I love and collect 1:12 size miniatures which I photograph in realistic scenes.  The artifice of recreating in minute detail items in 1:12 scale always amazes me, and it’s amazing how the eye can be fooled.  I hope that you like my choice for this week’s theme, and that it makes you smile.
