Highland Haberdashery

This is the first in a long line (hopefully) of Tissue Box Creations. Tissue Box material, well, it ain't high on density, in fact, it's pretty flimsy stuff. However, I see that as a challenge. While I wouldn't choose it for all my cardstock work, it's fun for this kind of thing. The structure will be constructed entirely and only from the material provided by the tissue box. Well, except for window glass and perhaps interior detailing.

Materials so far - A tissue box, Xacto with #11 blades, little bottle of white glue and small paint brush for application, pen, nylon burnishing tool (usually for dry transfers, by WS), scale ruler and small square (also by Xacto, I believe).

Here is the structure after a couple hours work. Most of the time was spent drawing out the walls and cutting openings before any assembly took place. At this point there are four walls and a base.

I decided to add interest and make it a corner site so that I could have a nice pair of large windows to display...hats! Didn't take long to decide what to make it. It had to be an 'industry' or retail shop that didn't need much space for storage or a workshop. A haberdashery fit the bill nicely.

Up next...winders!
