Miniature Melbourne Music No2 - The Tote

 I've just completed my second miniature Melbourne music venue - The Tote hotel in Collingwood.

The Tote is an institution. It nearly closed for good, but a public outcry and lots of grassroots support revived it.

I really wanted to capture that corner door, it's the "face" of The Tote.

Each of those cigarette butts is about 2mm long.

"Don't read the Herald Sun" - pretty solid advice, actually.

Lots of fun to make, and the miniature has already sold to a private collector who has previously purchased another of my miniatures in the past.


Now I have the lovely challenge of trying to decide which music venue to do next!


Cheers,
