The Dollhouse Oddesy

Caitlyn and I have been working on a dollhouse since Christmas. This is what we have to display so far. We've done more, but are not ready to display it yet, lol.

Here's some furniture we bought for a buck each and finished. We added the mesh to the breakfront which I thought was a nice touch. We bought the sewing machine and the copper pots and the barrel. We made the Internet for Dummies book and a set of Brittanica (there are only 6 so far, it to took 3 days to make them--You can read the print inside). Caitlyn made the pie, loaf of bread, plate of cookies and the Turkey from Fimo. We made the bowl of apples by painting wood beads. The plates and bowls are all bought, but Caitlyn painted them. The Flowers are just tiny cloth purchased flowers in a horn bead glued onto a button. The pin woven rug was more intricate, lol.

This is my second attempt at a dolly and I must say she is alot better than the first. She is made from Fimo, with her head sculpted on a button. Here she is getting dressed, and she still needs wigging.

Here's the first attempt--kinda pathetic huh? Someday maybe if she hopes and prays God shall give her feet.

Well, we've been working diligently for a month now, and this is all we've gotten ready to display. We have learned that making miniatures is alot of work. It will take a year at this rate. We are trying very hard to buy only what we don't think we can manufacture.
