Well I've been indulging myself over the last few days with dreams of fine chocolates! I've just finished work on my two chocolate shops and the last job was to make all the individual chocolates. so of course I've had to eat a few for inspiration! If you'd like to visit a great chocolate shop for real I would highly recommend Hotel Chocolate great stuff a bit expensive but very nice. So having browsed through their pages and my mouth watering at the goodies I made a few of my own.
The top picture is how they are displayed in the chocolate shops on gold trays.
As you might have read I've done another type of Victorian shop this time a jewellers. Like the wine merchants I wanted an open floor so you could see the jewelry displays better. They're not finished yet but this will give you all an idea of what I'm working on at the moment.
I decided to to two different coloured interior just for a change.
Here's my latest large shop the Chelsea Wine Merchants. As you can see I've altered the design of the top floor to create a walk way around the main room which gives it more light and visibility. I wanted to be able to see the great displays without having to crouch down to into it. So what do think? I hope you like the idea as I've done it in the jewellers as well.
If you'd like to see more visit the new Wine Shop page.
Well the weather has been a bit rough this week and it looks like more snow and ice over the next few weeks. So it's put my larger projects on hold as I'm still waiting for good weather to do some painting!
It's not the only thing delayed, my new computer has still not been built AARRRGGGHHHHHHH.
I should get it next week, but in the meantime I've got everything backed up ready for the transfer so it's causing a bit of havoc.
I have managed to get a lot done though and I will have lots of pictures to share.
First of all is a new street market for Melinda.
More pictures on my Victoriana Page.
Next I've finished one Victorian Pharmacy and I'm just waiting for some bookcases to finish the second.
My two Chocolate shops are almost finished, my last job is to make all the small chocolates. More pictures later today.
I've finished both the wine shops and will have finished the jewelers later today expect some great photos tomorrow!
