"Please, excuse my chunks." 😆😂🤣Haha!! Seriously, though. I consider myself to be quite a bit more detail oriented than most, but you impress me!! The care you take to make sure the dolls of your dollhouse have a complete and realistic-looking, lighted dollhouse with which to play is not to be surpassed! 🥰😇💟
WOW is this creative!!! I especially LOVE the use of the scalloped scissors to make the shingles. That added such a wonderful touch! I also loved the reuse of the entryway to make the gazebo. This came out fantastic!!
Thank you :) I bought those scissors last year specifically for making shingles. I love how they turned out. I had every intention of putting the front porch on the house but my flower boxes were in the way. Happy accident, because I love how the gazebo looks on the lawn.
At a loss for words, truly. This project is absolutely amazing and I am now bursting with enthusiasm to do something like this. Your customizations are brilliant. Your ability to just on-the-fly design items like that fountain is pure genius. This ranks as one of my favorite projects of all time! Amazing! And all that said, I still feel my praise is inadequate for this video...
Thank you! My partner laughs when any of you say I'm patient bc he knows I am not 😆 My impatience helps me find shortcuts and tricks to teach all of you.
The tiny house turned out soo cute! I’ve got a church in the same scale that I have been dying to make a start on, you have given me inspiration on all your custom details 😊
You not only craft super details, you craft a riveting video one must watch beginning to end! The greenhouse and outside details! I want to shrink myself and live there.
Thank you! I appreciate that. Filming, editing and voiceover takes a lot of time and effort. I can relate to that! I'd love to shrink down and walk the gardens. There's no furniture, water, or wi-fi in the house though 😆
I haven't done anything to the Tudor dollhouse my friend recently gave me, but I know what I plan to do with it. I'm turning it into an English pub with a bar downstairs and living quarters upstairs. I won't be decorating the Madison bc it's too huge to keep in my house. I'm repairing it, then finding it a new home.
I love all the little details you add! I actually laughed when you made the comment about the graduation hat because I had just thought to myself that that's what it looked like. LOL But it made a way better fountain! Everything turned out perfect!
"please pardon my chunks" not something you hear everyday lol. I cant tell you how excited I was to watch this and I wasn't disappointed. I just adore all the little touches you added to customise it. You really do have a way with the details that bring things to life, that I wish I could emulate. One thing I can and will copy for sure tho is the velcro for the battery pack, its the perfect solution for the Mouse house I'm working on. Right now the battery pack is just taped onto the side of the room box with masking tape which is kinda ugly but your velcro idea is much better! Thank you so much
That damn Gloss Mod Podge. I ALWAYS forget it's chunky until I start applying it. At least I'm almost to the bottom of the bottle. The Velcro works great. I found it in a sewing box that was given to me.
Do you have a sketch before you begin of what you will do or do you just build one idea on another? Your ability to see teeny things from bigger pieces of stuff and even trash astonishes me. I may have to tape my mouth closed while watching your videos. 💕
Hi! I don't plan beforehand. I tend to make it up as a I go along. Sometimes I run into issues bc of my lack of planning, but I can't seem to come up with ideas until I'm actually making things.
No, I don't think so. Cardstock would look great. Really fine sandpaper would look great, too, like tiny asphalt shingles. And it would sharpen the scissors 😆
This was a very nice project to watch! I enjoy watching your clever ideas for details. At the end, I was thinking that as your roof was detailed, that Manet next time, add siding to your outside walls with horizontal strips of paper or cardboard.
This was so fun to watch. I'm mesmerized by the flocking which becomes a garden in your hands. 🌷🌷🌷I must try this. The process of shingling the roof was genius. Love it all! 😍✨
Thank you! I used the same scissors to make shingles for a 1:48 scale house. They still work at a larger scale. It really depends how thick the piece of clay is and what I plan to use it for. For small pieces that won't be handled, I cure them for just 30 seconds or so (like the pimento pieces I made to put in the canning jars of olives). For something larger, a couple mins. I'll put the piece of clay inside folded aluminum foil and blow the hot air over it, keeping the heat gun moving so I don't burn the clay. I'll also use the heat gun to partially cure a piece so I don't smush the detail, then I'll bake it when I'm done working on it. Clay is stronger when baked so I bake all my larger pieces and anything that will be handled and may break.
@@queencityminis It turned out just adorable! So many clever customizations. The gazebo and fountain were brilliant additions. You definitely got a giggle out of me with the ‘graduation cap’ comment. I’m obsessed with the flocking uses (and colors) and going to order a selection for myself. You are so inspiring!❤
This is the cutest little house I've seen! You did a fantastic job and all you're details are just beautiful! Makes me want to start a dollhouse, but I've got a long way to go! I did do a couple of mini Victorian pictures frames the other day from polymer clay. I haven't baked them yet, 'cause I want to make a few more things. Love your videos!
Do you find wood glue dries yellow? I’m doing an apothecary counter kit and I think Beacon 3-in-1 might have to be what I use for everything that doesn’t need superglue. The fresh Gorilla wood glue (mammoth bottle, too) ruined my white paint job. Hmph!
I hope you sold this house for at least $1.5 mil! 😅 It would be well worth every penny! I don’t have patience to thread 🪡 a needle let alone do what you just did! Kudos to you!🥰
As usual, another genius tutorial!! Your ideas, your customized details, esp as small as this kit, are beyond what most people would overlook..this is what I also love to do, which is why your work/ tutorials are so interesting..your ideas I will definitely, absolutely put to use in my dollhouse crafting!! thank you so much for sharing with us all of your genius ideas, please keep on doing what you're doing and sharing ❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏
Absolutely adorable Shyra. Never thought I would enjoy tackling something like this but you changed my mind. Mind you, I may not have the patience to do it. We'll see. Thank you for sharing. Cheers Robyn ❤
This is absolutely magnificent. It is honestly beyond beautiful. I am always impressed by your work, but this one really hit me. I haven’t looked yet, but I hope there is a link to the kit. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing talent and creativity.
I am a lifetime model builder in different scales , at the moment I am modeling in 1/144 scale a diorama of the invasion of France and one with the railway bringing up defenses .The model you build has piqued my interest to add some small damaged building to my diorama :-) I watch all your videos and the inspire me to no end thank you 🙂
Your attention to detail is amazing 👏. I thought beginning with this scale would make my first attempt at doing mini would be easier 😂😂and use less material when i missed up, i don't have any i deal why i thought it would be easier 😂. Thank you for sharing this showing me that this scale is definitely something that I should not attempt. Your Amazingly Talented.
I hear you! 1:144 would be a tricky start. I find 1:24 scale easiest. That's half the size of 1:12. It's small enough to require less detail and less material, but big enough to be able to work with.
