I worked on my dollhouse this weekend and want to share what I accomplished.
The first photo shows my antique china head, whom I've named Sophronia, in the library with one of the books I made. If you look closely, you can see a dried flower between the pages.
The second photo is of my Jamestown fireplace. It came assembled, and I just sealed and stained it to match the other furniture. The insert is made to simulate a coal burning fire, and it realistically flickers! The two tiny candlesticks with candles are new purchases, and there is a Meiji era Japanese Satsuma miniature vase on its way for the mantel as well.
Third photo is of my latest creation for tea. It's a cake made with polymer clay, ribbon, and moss. This is a project from a UK dollhouse magazine, which gives step-by-step instructions. It was a lot of fun, but I have a lot of practicing to do! It's challenging working in this scale. The china tray pattern is Blue Onion from Reutter Porcelain of Germany.
The last photo is of a framed copy of a sampler. The sampler is dated 1741 and by Anna Burr. I reduced it and printed it but had to make it look like material rather than paper so I crumpled the paper over and over again until a softer material-like texture was achieved.
Thanks for looking!
Your attention to detail is amazing. It is so inspiring. Thank you for sharing your progress. I, for one, will always look forward to your next update. I love the framed sampler.
Clmason456, thank you so much for your very kind compliments. Much appreciated. I so love working on my dollhouse, and I'm very happy it inspires others as others have inspired me! I try to make sure that the details really work together as a cohesive whole to depict an era. I have a couple of books on Victorian home interiors and period pieces so I refer to them as well as to the Internet for ideas.
What a fun project and it looks wonderful ! Thanks for for sharing it .
It is a lot of fun, Manikin. Thank you!
This are so well done that at first I thought they were the 1:1 version which is to say the real thing. Although of course I could tell the doll was a doll. Very well done with the flowers in pages of the book.
Thank you so much, fortapache. That is the ultimate compliment!
Thanks so much for the love, Caperkid.
