The Cardboard Dollhouse Begins

The Cardboard Dollhouse Begins - see the tutorial here.

You can see from the photos most of the tools that I used: scissors, utility knife, various squares, and plain old Elmer's glue                                                          

After the basic structure of the dollhouse is all glued together and papier mache add to cover the edges, I gave it an all over coat of gesso primer. I am sure any white paint would work fine also.

Just some randomness

Cardboard Dollhouse

The Dollhouse is getting close to being finished. I have been working on furniture. There have been many times I have said " why didn't I just buy it" 

Next working on the cardboard furniture:

Finally making some headway on the furniture for the dollhouse. The bedroom furniture is almost finished. The bed will have posters with some sort of canopy and the closet needs the doors painted. It has a tiny drawer in the bottom and so does the vanity which also needs a stool for it.

I have more photos to post tomorrow and some artwork but they are on the other computer so until tomorrow...
