A touch of Provence: French Stone and Stucco Cottage Dollhouse Tile Roof Continued

I finished putting the tile roof on the dollhouse and I aged it.

I had the idea of having a lot of mortar stuffed between the tiles. I think it looks very rustic.

I also gave the plaster a couple of coats of the paint. It's a very yellow cream color. It looks like margarine. I am going to age this paint later.

I painted the inside plaster the same color.

A touch of Provence: French Stone and Stucco Cottage Dollhouse Tile Roof

I am working on a Terra Cotta tile roof for this dollhouse. I want a really rustic roof. So the perfect plastic Spanish tiles from the dollhouse shop wasn't gonna do it. So I tried using the pine shingles.

First, I soaked the pine shingles in a orange water bath.

Then I used the hot tip of the glue gun to shape the tiles into a dome shape.

I set the tile with some hot glue inside to make sure they keep their shape.

Next, I loaded the tile with plaster.

I glued a strip of scalloped cardboard on the edge of the roof to support the first row of tiles. And I put plaster behind it for even more support.

We'll see how this turns out!
