Shabby Chic
Chocolate Shop Vignette
Janet Smith designed this wonderful
Shabby Chic Chocolate Shop for an
on‐line class. This vignette is only
2.5” x 2.5” x 2.5” (6.35 cm
x6.35cmx6.35cm).
Janet’s husband is a wood‐worker
and builds these three sided
vignettes for her out of exotic
hardwoods to display her foods in
scenes on her sales table. He used
becote wood on the sides and yellow
heart on the base. The becote is a very hard wood; the results are so beautiful, as you can see from the photo of the
back of the store. The wallpaper and flooring are scrapbooking paper. The border is something that Janet designed
and printed onto paper.
Janet’s wonderful cakes were made using a 1/4” Kemper circle cutter and then painted using 3D paints. Her cakes
are really remarkable in their tiny size. The cookie sheets were cut from aluminum sheets, approximately 3/8" by
1/4", equivalent to a 18” x 12" cookie sheet. The pie tins are about 3/16" in diameter at the top equivalent to a 9"
pan. The pans she used for the brownies and the jelly roll are jewellery findings. Everything in the shop is made
either from polymer clay or paint. The Shop comes with a plastic baseball case, and the whole scene fits inside the
case.
