Thank you, genieDOLL! :)

Thank you both! :)

Thank you, Samantha! The paper is scrapbook paper and the organ is a Bespaq set I picked up on a whim at a miniature shop in Duluth, Minnesota.

Thank you both!

Pgwyn, I printed off a leaded glass window design from the internet, then taped the plexi over it and used lead tape to trace the lines. The lead tape I used is intended to add weight to tennis rackets, and is rather wide. I cut it into 4 skinnier strips before laying it down. After getting everything else done, I glued the windows in and used Triple Thick on both sides to make the windows look like wavy antique glass. This is the tutorial I followed: http://glorioustwelfth.blogspot.jp/2011/03/how-to-make-dollhouse-miniature-lead.html

Thank you! Dana's dolls are beautiful!

Thank you, Jo! Quite a compliment coming from a doll artist like yourself!

Thanks! I saw a full-size one on Pinterest and had to shrink it. :)

[Big Bad Wolf Stuffed and Mounted]

You've done a lovely job! All the brickwork is so nicely done and the wolf's head is the perfect touch!

You're doing a wonderful job! The windows and stonework are both beautiful!

[NE State Day 2015, front]

Basically, you build each section twice, then sandwich the screen between. First, plot out the size and what pieces you'll need, then make a pattern on a piece of paper, outlining each piece. (The 10th picture down here shows it fairly well. Mom and I are in pic #14.) Lay a piece of wax paper over the pattern and assemble one side. Once the glue is dried on that, put another piece of wax paper over the completed side, then build the second one >on top of the first<. That way they're sure to line up. Paint first, then glue the screen between. It's tedious and time-consuming but definitely worth the work. Here's a picture of one of my sides clamped. You can see the notches I cut out to hold the top bracers, one of which holds the swing. I would suggest using pretty thin pieces of strip wood, as they'll be doubled. Using anything too thick would make the wall really clunky.

Have fun with your Garfield! :)

It's scrapbook paper from... Michaels, I think? It was still in stock at my store the last time I looked.

There's a process to it but I'd be glad to show you how we did it. :)

I love the tile! It looks fantastic!

Great idea to use that shape!

Beautifully done!

I saw your group over there while I was in Dana Burton's doll class. :)

[Nicki's House]

Thanks! I'm excited to work on this. It won't be as big of a rehab project as the others I have waiting. Quicker gratification! ;)

[Nicki's House]

Thank you, Mike! It's not a style I'd pick out, but doing something new and different can be fun.

Niiiice! I think you got a good one there, both the house and the husband! :)

[Cinderella book 03]

I had this book too! Did you scan and print it yourself? It's adorable!

[Right side. You can see the plexiglass I slid in channel moulding to keep curious hands out.]

I'm sorry the glue dots aren't holding. The top plexiglass on mine is getting scratches on it from the shingles whenever it's slid in or out, so no answer is perfect. The other 1:12 house entered (also an Orchid) had thick clear plastic pinned over the opening. All the other exhibits were in display boxes or under glass domes. There was no requirement, but it just makes sense to cover anything you don't want messed with.

[Fountain]

Thank you! Mom is making these fountains as her swap item for Nebraska State Day next weekend. This was my prototype and I decided to use it here.

[Back]

Thanks! Some of the trim pieces were so bad that I just cut new ones from Hobby Lobby strip wood. Others took a *lot* of wood filler, gesso, sanding, and paint.

Thank you!
