The Mad Science Lab
Some time ago, my friend and fellow miniaturist, Ray Storey asked me if I would be interested in building a mad science laboratory. He is a maker of beautiful miniature lighting and glassware. So the collaboration began, and the Mad Science Lab was born. It is complete with a leaded glass dome skylight by Barbara Sabia. This is a dynamic structure which has a dark cage room in the back corner that houses a bit of magic in the form of a plasma globe which is constantly emitting blue lightning from a glowing red center, as well as a bubbling flask of some potent mischief on the table full of Ray Storey's wonderful lab glassware. The cabinets in the corner were made by Bubba's Mini Country Cupboards, and includes a wonderful scientist doll made by Jeanne Rullie. The store room holds a diverse array of the mad scientist's equipment and ingredients. This piece is now part of the Kathleen Savage Browning Miniatures Collection in Maysville, Kentucky. If you are interested in viewing this piece in real life, you will find it on display October through December at the Kentucky Gateway Museum in Maysville.
