Scarlet Letter Project

My son took over the miniature studio this week for a school project.  I acted as a consultant.  He had to create a project that represented something from Nathaniel Hawthorne's Scarlet Letter.


He decided to build the door of the church.
He used some wood and glued it together , then painted it.
He also made hand forged iron strap hinges and nail heads.
The straps are painted cardboard, the nail heads are painted beads and the door knob is a key chain glued to some cardboard and painted.


He set the door on some cobble stones with moss.

  4. Hi, Troy - Your son's project is a great choice. He's done such a good job making the strap hinges and other accessories for the door - which is also made very well. It must have been a fun time to work with him; I agree with Elizabeth that you may have to share your workroom in the future!
