hello I'm in a different environment today an alternate universe if you will
with foliage if you've made it this far forth game thank you for being here
you've reached a boss level you may even hear the cars outside
since I'm next to a road Oh someone gave me very strong eye contact out my window
literally the street is right there hello anyway today I am making a potions
cabinet or a curiosity cabinet I'm not sure what I'm going to call this video
yet we'll see it's a collection of old vintage trinkets bits and bobs and it's
based on partly imagination and also like old alchemists and Apothic Reis
cabinets that you'd have in the Victorian times I want to say maybe
medieval I definitely should have looked at some facts before I started talking
but mostly based on a fantasy that I've seen such as Harry Potter in fact it's
kind of like a miniature version of what Snape's potions cabinet would look like
potions I can't do sleep Potter no I've had this idea in my head for a while and
it's taken me a couple of months of searching through vintage stores and
secondhand stores in Brighton where it is some of the things that you find in
there is weird weird definitely haunted vibes in a lot of these shops especially
snoopers paradise which is like this big secondhand store where they have so much
drops and old vintage things and forgotten objects that people have left
and old books postcards photos everything like old antiques old cameras
cases I love just rifling through and seeing what I can find
it's kind of like looking through people's old forgotten memories things
that they've left behind I think there's so much beauty in old sometimes broken
stuff I want to know why it's like that imperfection is so much more interesting
than perfect new stuff to me because it tells a story and
would be really boring without stories okay let me show you how I put together
my potions cabinet of curiosity first I started off with this miniature
wardrobe that I found online and I wanted to add my own tiny shells into
the inside of the Wardrobe so using these tiny bits of wood and
some super glue I just cut them down to size and then filed them down so they
were nice and smooth and glued them to the inside of the doors when you're
using super glue make sure you hold it against to the other surface until it's
dry it takes longer to dry than hot glue but it's a lot neater and doesn't
splurge everywhere I repeated this process three times to make three little
shells because I wanted to fit some different sized objects on there and
then I had to paint the cheaper white wood to match the rest of the wardrobe
so I used acrylic paint to do this once they were all painted the same color
would I just let this dry and I got some little glass domes ISA from eBay and I
wanted to sculpt some little things to go inside them for example I scoped a
tiny mushroom to go in one and then my grandma had a whole box full of old
trinkets and pieces of jewelry that I thought would look really nice in the
cabinet including these amazing tiny little books and in the gold one was a
whole ribbon of pictures of Queen Elizabeth I think it was and then in the
silver one the silver one was my favorite the silver one had pictures of
Paris like tourist pictures of Paris which all folded up neatly and I thought
these would look really nice in the cabinet I spent a while looking for some
rocks and different kind of gems that would look nice in the cabinet too I
think this one is called bloodstone I'm not 100% sure feel free to correct me
also found a tiny key who knows what that once opened as well as this
beautiful silver pendant which actually opened I'm not sure exactly what it
holds maybe medicine tiny skulls I filled one
of my domes with skulls I'm aware that this is not a hundred percent accurate
scale obviously they would be tiny humans if they were real skulls I tried
to find some authentic little jars the only actual vintage one I could find was
this perfume one that still had perfume in from however many
to go very potent a bit too potent I also got these tiny bottles from eBay as
well with miniature labels to stick on to them once I stuck the tongue of Toad
one onto the bottle I actually sculpted a tiny toads tongue to go inside also
made some little eyeballs and there was a label that said human eyeballs so I
put that on a jar and filled my jar with eyes was slightly concerned as to how
and why these human eyeballs were collected but try not to dwell on
thoughts such as those the larger jars and bottles actually looked best on top
of the cabinet and then I painted my mushroom to go inside the dome and that
fit really perfectly on the tiny shelf that I made on the inside door also made
a little cockroach for another dome I sculpted this in fimo clay painted it in
acrylics and then it just about fit into the other glass dome that I had
literally the legs nearly broke off as I was pushing it in but it fit once I
painted the toads time you couldn't really see it inside the bottle but we
all know it's there so it's fine place this big old key on the bottom
shelf I tried to spread out all the metal objects so there wasn't a load of
silver together so I put them all on different shelves attempted to fill this
tiny bottle of glitter mist but it looked nice with a little label on it
also found a miniature clock in my grandmother's box and a large chunk of
amethyst and then of course a little label for my cockroach some tiny gems to
finish it off and it was complete
comment if you have any cool ideas about the objects like where did they come
from what is the real necklace meant to hold what does the key unlock how does
one collect eyeballs if it was Snape did he murder some people that's a bit doc
hopefully it was a young fresh Snape that wouldn't murder anybody
they were just eyeballs from dead people oh my gosh this is getting worse anyway
