"November" was a heavily researched project; few liberties were taken with the art and furnishings. The most challenging aspect was upholstering the 1 inch couch with matching chairs, but they are my favorite pieces.

Quarter-Inch Scale

Detail:

This distressed, blown-out set really appealed to me. From the crooked door frames to the distressed wallpaper, the design communicated a sense of history and humor. The banister lattice work required the use of surgical tools and much patience, but the addition of their delicate features made it worth it in the end.

"Imaginary Invalid"

American Conservatory Theater, 2009
Quarter-Inch Scale

Detail:

Another off-kilter design, this project was all about the subtle architectural framing and paneling. There were also many opportunities to metal, in the form of delicate lace beads and clasps. The most extreme example is the chandelier (pictured above); a thin wire was used as the center point for the entire piece. Small beads at the top and bottom hold everything together. The styrene "candles" are no more than an 1/8th of an inch tall, and the whole chandelier is no more than 1in x 1in.

Super glue, super glue, super glue.

"Constant Wife"

American Conservatory Theater, 2008
Eighth-Inch Scale

Out of the many eighth-inch models that were created for this play, this example was the most enchanting. Center stage is surrounded on three sides by floor-to-ceiling windows; the shutter were cut out of the windows, scored and folded back at varying intervals.
