WIPs for now, and other news

 Hello!!

Surprise, two post in one day!!!

Okay, let's talk about the WIPs and my change of direction with my crafts.

I have a Modern Container dollhouse percolating since December/2019. I can't find a way to get past the creativity block to finish this dollhouse.

This is original (bought from Banggood) and my inspiration (found in the Homify webpage):






This is the progress so far:



I still have a Rosendale Mansion, a Brookwood-ish  and a Cottage Bungalow style dollhouses waiting to be built. And a couple of tissue dispensers I'm going to turn into a fairy dollhouse...

I shift my focus to coloring and painting since the Pandemic hit Brazil. I haven't worked in a dollhouse since January/2020 and I can't see beyond this block. 

Vacation fun-times is coming next October but unfortunately I will not going to visit my sister this year because, you know, quarantine times... Maybe I can get my groove back then.

Till then,

Cheers!

The Beacon Hill-style Dollhouse - 25 days of work

 Hello, Strangers!


I'm not going to apologize for not blogging, 'cause honestly, I'm not all that sorry.

I finished the Beacon Hill-style dollhouse back in October, 2019. It was a fun project and of course I bashed somethings, 'cause I'm me... ;)

Since I took about 30 pictures I'm not going to post all. Just some before during and after, ok? OK!!

This is the original, MDF 1/24-ish bought on Elo7 here in Brazil.



The first thing to go were the mullions:



I extended the living area to add a kitchen/dinning/living open concept area. The second floor 'bathroom' was extended a bit too:




I changed the french doors on the second floor too. The staircase was a pain to built AND glue in place:





The flooring were made with the trusty popsicle sticks, the baseboards were coffee stirrers and the wallpaper were all printed in my ink printer. I bashed the attic/roof so I could add two more rooms:





Exterior siding were popsicle sticks also, and the roof was a printed pattern.





I bought extra porch pieces so I could add a second floor porch:




And she's done!







'Till the next one,

Cheers!
