Hello, fellow creative artists! We are Peter and Tonni Vando from Middletown, New York. We made these 1/12 scale miniatures. We made the bedding and pillows and upholstered the sectional with 100% cotton, except for the turquoise satin pillows, of course. The armchair is an antique, from my childhood collection, probably made in the 1940’s.
Making the modern pink sectional from scratch was really fun, and I am tickled pink (ha ha) with our success. Just corrugated cardboard, glue, Scotch tape, cotton batting, and 100% cotton fabric, and a few failed attempts, immense patience, and a desire to get them just right. The little pillows were much easier than I thought they would be.
Hope you like them! Abstract paintings on the wall, and the whole fireplace are made by us, too.
Happy sewing to all!

How awesome is this! A really good job on the details. Loved looking at it!
Peter and Tonni- your creations are wonderful! Well worth the time & effort it took. I like the blend of colors and your abstract paintings are a perfect addition.
