Pumpkin dollhouse tutorial by Tori West

A few weeks ago I stumbled across this amazing tutorial that shows you how to make a pumpkin dollhouse from scratch using paper clay. I was totally amazed at the finished house and thought it looked fantastic, a real work of art. This is something I'll definitely be trying at some point this year. The good thing about this tutorial as that as the house is built from scratch you can customise it to look like anything you want so lots of scope for the imagination. The tutorial doesn't have many photos although many of the steps are cleverly illustrated which really helps. Here is a link to the tutorial so you can have a look and maybe think about building your own pumkin dollhouse :

1/4 scale pale pink rose shabby chic dollhouse furniture

My first set of 1/4 scale mount board furniture in the peach and cream colours was quite a success on ebay so I decided to make some more but with a more romantic feel to it. This latest set is hand painted in the palest pink acrylic paint and has a lovely pink rose design on the front doors. I have added deep gold acrylic paint to the very edges of the doors and the corners to give it an aged look so that it fits in perfectly with the shabby chic theme. The items that you can see in the above picture will be up for auction on ebay from this evening (seller:fizzyclaret) and will finish next Saturday evening(16th March).

Quarter scale and twelfth scale dollhouse furniture and accessories

Here are three of the items that I will be listing on ebay this evening. The first is a cute mushroom fairy house teapot which isn't twelfth scale as it's too big but makes a cute little addition to a miniature teapot collector. The second photo is a miniature flower basket. I can't seem to stop making flower baskets at the moment! The third is a quarter scale (1/48th scale) side board made from mount board and decorated with acrylic paints (the doors are decoration only and do not open). I decided to stick with the peaches and cream colours so that it matches the shelf unit I made a few days ago. All of the above items will be up for auction tonight (ends next Sunday) on my ebay site seller:fizzyclaret.
