Last Christmas my hubby bought me a doll house, and while it's been sitting in my doll room gathering dust, I have been hatching a plan. I want to turn this house into a derelict house, one that was once owned by a man of magical talent . . . a man of interlect, who might have been a master of chemisty, a wizard, a sorcerer, a scribe or to put it simply . . . a combination of them all.
It will take me forever to finish it, but I am determined I shall!
After all the sewing I needed a change, and so for the past few days I have been creating some pieces of furniture for one of the rooms. Non is complete yet, but I wanted you to see where I was heading.
I made the birdcage hanger from three stacked washers for the base, a small piece of dowell, a paperclip and some jute string. The bookholder is made from card, dowell and washers. Both are decorated with sculls, doll hands and more green flocking. To make the candle holders I used the brass backing plates from small door knobs and plastic noteboard tacks which I painted gold to match the brass . . . the candles are birthday candles which I cut to size.
The other pieces are from my 1:12 scale stash. I am currently working on a Grimoire for the stand and some other books for the dressers. I could have purchased some but that wouldn't be as much fun would it?
