Little house in the garden

Some of you may remember that I was sent a miniature house with the missing roof for my main dollhouse.

I decided to have a play with this mini project as I’ve reached a bit of a dead end for now with the main house.

I quite fancy the idea of setting it in a garden or field and making the location rather than just the house.

I also wanted to experiment using different materials to the usual paint and tiles. For the roof I used colour permanent marker pens to create a varied tile effect.

Although there are limitations with the blending and colours achievable by not using mediums like paint, I think the result was quite successful. Especially for a first experimentation!

I then used a magnolia paint for the main walls. I’m not sure house these will be the finished result however. It all looks a bit pristine at the moment.

I used some AstroTurf free samples for the garden and the dollhouse grass I had left over from my main house for the surround.

The Missing Roof and a Surprise

Some of you may have noticed that in the first photo, where I showed my newly assembled house, one of the large roof sections was missing. Unfortunately it had accidentally not been sent in the original package however I’m glad to say that it arrived safely today!

Even better than this, the seller sent me a miniature house by way of apology which I had great fun assembling this morning!
