Here are a few more of the designs. These smaller boxes have a postcard or photograph as the background. I think this idea is very effective.

Zara uses a variety of materials for the boxes. Sometimes she chooses dolls-house wallpaper or wrapping paper for the background but sometimes she just paints it herself. Her husband makes some of the miniature furniture but it would be easy to purchase dolls-house furniture to get a similar look. She is very clever in the way she creates objects from anything she has to hand, often painting and cutting paper or cloth to give the right effect.

背景にポストカードや写真を使った小さめのボックスです。いいアイディアですね。

ザラは様々な材料を使ってこのミニチュアボックスを作っています。背景にはドールハウス用の壁紙や包装紙を用いたり、自分でペンキを塗って仕上げることもあります。ドールハウス用のものを買ったほうが簡単かもしれませんが、ミニチュアの家具は夫のケンが作るものもあります。ザラもペイントしたり、紙や布地を使って何でも上手に作り上げてしまいます。
