Three days later... This is all that I have. Waiting for oil paint to dry is a PITA ;-) when you need two or three coats. The shell is so thin on the edges where the two halves meet I really thought it would break while I was sawing it out. Hrmmm.... I see Kilmouski has added a fly away cat hair that has landed over the front door. Grrrrrrr They are as fine a spider silk. I may have to shave him or give him a bath in GLUE! There is a lot more to do. I love it when it is time to decorate. That is fun....but several days away at this point. I could never get one of these together without the help of Bostic Blu-Tack. It holds things in place for me while I am fitting things. Now I can start the back side.

It is going to be a while before I touch another walnut. lol I decided I would like to have a vine growing up and over the awnings. I started with very fine wire and soldered all the pieces together. Trying it on the shell as I went along soldering. Then I painted the wires brown. Now I could spot glue the vine to the nutshell. The next step was to glue the 1/2 mm beads on. YEP one by one. I found that they were really secure by painting clear nail polish over them after the glue dried. Once I had all the "berries" on I really liked it without any green foliage but thought it had to have it on the vine. :-( I built the bay window by cutting up three double windows to make one bay and glued that to a styrene box I built. In the window there is some magic happening. These holographic tiny stars blink colors even in relative darkness. I just glued them in a pile for the bay window display... "Portable Rainbows". If you could see inside it, you would notice there seem to be some much smaller ones floating in mid-air too. Those are glued to a second & third sheet of clear styrene on the inside of the house. They step back from the window front. I still have to make the sign that will stick out from the side of the bay. I am going to have to use someone else's printer for that. PHEW.... Maybe too much information. ;-)

Having lost their caterpillar to his own agenda of spinning a cocoon, the travelers are going to have to camp for a few days while they look for an obliging beetle (or some other creepy crawler) to pull their caravan. It's no easy task to convince an insect to wear a harness or go in the direction you want him to for that matter. They tend to want to stop all the time to chew on a leaf or a berry. When the walnut gypsy wagon occurred to me, I knew I was going to have to try it. As usual as soon as it started to come together I had several other designs pop into my mind. I am sure I will have to try another one eventually. I am still waiting for clear 3 mm round beads to arrive for the front lanterns. Those fixtures may change entirely before I am finished, they are just waxed in place for the present. I had intended for this one to have a polymer clay insect hitched up to the wagon. While I was working on it I realized that it would have to be mounted on a base or the poles that extend from the wagon to the bug would surely get broken over time. Anyway... I really prefer the houses not mounted. The wheels do turn so gluing them down to a base would have been a shame.

Y I have been busy again making a Christmas walnut shell cottage. This time one to sell hopefully on eBay. The listing should be up later tonight and I will then post a link here.... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=310805102137 This one has a Christmas tree inside the big bay window. On the back of the house there are lace curtains in the small windows. It is too bad the gold star ornaments don't photograph very well, because they are holographic. They sparkle & wink in a rainbow of colors, even in low light. The snow glitter sparkles too but that also doesn't show in pictures. :-( Yes! This is the same house. It is just a view of the back side. Of course the house could be hung on a Christmas tree but a better idea would be to hang it in one of those domes for a pocket watch. Those are optically clear and have a hook on the top, inside the glass. BTW...Later this week you should see what that hand I posted a picture of was all about. Now that it has arrived in it's new home in France. I will post a link to it here.

A great way to give your dollhouse charm is by making your own fireplace mantel. It's very easy to do. And you can make it any size you want. You will need one thin wood veneer. I have 1/16 x 4 x 24" bass from Hobby Lobby. For your tools you will need a glue gun, ruler, pencil, white glue, sand paper. And a sharp utility knife. This one has a snap off blade so you always have a sharp edge. I bought it at Home Depot. The first piece to cut out is the back of the mantel. Mine is 4 1/4" tall x 3 1/2 wide. ((If you would like to put a textured paper inside your mantel this would be the time to glue it on leaving an 1/8" to glue to wood onto this back piece.)) Next the walls of the mantel. Mine are 4 1/4" x 5/8". You will need 4 of them. You need a top shelf and bottom for the mantel. I cut out 2 pieces each 1" x 3 7/8". I do sand these two pieces. I like worn rounded edges and corners. I like using a 1500 grit. And finally the piece in the front of the fireplace, the frieze. Mine is 2 3/16" x 1 1/2". Mine needs a real old cottage look so I'm opting for a nice tall one. That's all the pieces for the main structure. Glue your walls to the back of the mantel with white glue. I use Aleene's. Also glue the bottom and top. The trick here is to get everything to stay together and keep it straight. Let dry completely. I usually let it dry against a straight flat wall. If needed I add a weight to make sure it stays flush to the straight wall. Otherwise you will have problems installing it in the dollhouse. Next glue the frieze in place. This is the basic structure I use for all my fireplace mantels. Some may be bigger, narrower, or smaller. But the process remains the same. The next step is to add trims. This is where you give your piece the feel it needs. I'm doing this one for an English cottage. So cute and girly is the order of the day. I'm layering trims. The first trim you need is for the top and bottom of the mantel walls. My first trim is 3/8" wide. Notice I do my side trim first then cover the rough edge with the front trim. Your next layer of trim will have to be thinner. So I would use thin cardboard like cereal box weight or cardstock paper. This trim will be 1/8" to 1/4". You can also cut out a fun detail. Like dental moulding or swags. First I'm doing a simple second layer trim on the bottom. This one is 1/4". My top trim is scalloped. I have a pair of scalloped edge scissors to do this. And finally one more 1/8" trim on top of all of the trims. Perfect! Now we need to trim the firebox. Two sides go on first. They are 1/8" wide. Then I add a shelf at the top that is almost 1/4" wide. And top it off with the remaining 1/8" trim. Done! How about making some girly addition. I'm going to do a little 3D work on the frieze. First I draw a design freehand. Next use your glue gun to apply 3 dot and the 2 swags. You can cut those annoying glue gun webs by releasing the trigger completely and then touching the hot nozzle on the string. It will cut the string. Any remaining strings can be taken care of with a hairdryer. You may want to practice on paper first. The technique is like pulling sugar in candy making. Remember this is vintage style. So it doesn't need to be perfect! If you can't do it just use white glue. Make sure it's not runny. Paint your entire mantel with acrylic paint. It can be craft paint or house paint. Makes no different. Lay it on there thick! If your paint is too new you may have to do 2 or 3 coats. Let's add character! I use ink pads to achieve a very old look. They are all browns. Stampabilities Brown, StazOn Saddle Brown, and Color-Box Putty. It makes no difference which order you apply them. Use a hard bristle brush to get the ink in tight corners. Now if you want to go all the way with this project you can add fire. I order my fire kit from https://www.modeltrainsoftware.com/ I order the fire kit with the 1.8mm bulb and 3 volt battery with the switch. You can do the pico lights if you want undetectable bulbs. They put out a lot of light and work great too. Drill a hole at the back wall at the very bottom. You can use a drill, a screw driver, a nail to do this. Whatever you have on hand. The wood is very easy to poke a hole in. I used a little screw driver. I started the hole on the front and turned the fireplace over to continue the hole from the other side. You wouldn't want to risk ungluing the back of the mantel! I build a fire stack with real sticks from the garden to hide the bulbs. Start by building up the wood stack around the bulbs. Notice I did bend the wires 90 degrees ready to be pulled back through the hole. Continue building the stack until the bulbs are hidden. Glue inside fire box with hot glue. Now let's make it a wee bit more romantic with moss. Get the hot chocolate and S'Mores cause you are ready to snuggle up next to the fire! Thanks for joining me and following along. I hope you give this a try. I promise it's really easy. You know what I always tell you: one step at a time. hugs,
