Humble Cottage Dollhouse

A bit of progress on humble cottage.
 I made a fake little basement shutter from bits of left over wood.
Made a nice size front stoop.
Added concrete and sculpted some stone shapes into it while it was still moist.

Painted the stones.
The front is a mix of stones and stucco. All done with the same concrete.
And this side is stucco too.
I did the floor white with a lot of water to thin it out.
I was only going to do one wall of roses, but things change!
For the door, I used hot glue to outline a design. Then painted it cream and accented with gray. I then took a utility knife and sandpaper to super age it.
The top of the outside turned out great with this nice chunk coming off.
I have to hinge the door in place and add knobs. Then maybe a bit more aging. Thanks for coming over!

  5. Love how you used the hot glue to make a design. I have never thought of that, totally brilliant. Looking forward to seeing how she all turns out.

    Maybe someday you could a "Purple Rose" Cottage :-)
