brandan Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 I finally finished the project and feel that pang of darn it is done and now what !!! But I am sure I will be busy lol. If anyone would like to see the final pics of the funeral home they are in my albums I moved the final pics to the beginning of the Halloween album. No funeral home would be complete without the casket after all . Now...to finish that castle for Claudia and the Pierce dollhouse. Any tips on wallpapering in the pierce would be appreciated . I wish I could show the video of the haunted funeral home to get the whole effect of the lights and the voice hee hee. Brandaen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparklepuppies Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Brandaen, that's just wonderful! I really like the Canterbury bricked. I'm not sure I would've thought to do that. I bet it's really great with the lights and sound! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanaholly Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 I'm a ways from getting the Pierce back together, much less papered. What are your plans for it? Like Kathie, I shall bash it a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elicia Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Very nice....I love the stone wall around the front.....is that one of your creations? If so, please share the materials you used...also, the lighting is great...love the pumpkin on the front porch.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brandan Posted September 4, 2009 Author Share Posted September 4, 2009 Thanks everyone for the kudos !! I needed a little pick me up and it is wonderful when your work is appreciated by such talented artist. I found the front stone work in a bargain bin sale and the pumpkin is a lexmark pumpkin pulled apart so I could put a 12 v light in it . The Pierce .....ok so I am afraid of the second floor wallpapering !! the little nooks where the roof comes down into the second floor freak me out a bit. I am not bashing the kit because it is for someone who likes it that way . Any tips on the papering ? I would love you forever ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 (Psst, when it's in dry fit and I find lots of nasty nooks & crannies, I go ahead and prime and paper those areas) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandan Posted September 4, 2009 Author Share Posted September 4, 2009 I guess I am asking if you guys paper that area first ? I guess I am having trouble fitting my mind around how everyone papers that area in Greenleaf houses ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debra from Olde Cape Cod Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 I'm just starting the Canterbury, yours is fabulous! Is the brick fabric? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandan Posted September 4, 2009 Author Share Posted September 4, 2009 Thanks very much ! Actually the Brick is scrapbook paper ...I really like the way it looks I was nervous at first cause I wasn't sure if I should have just used magic brik .

Lynette Smith Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 I love what you've done with it! I've been longing for a haunted house, now I've got yet more ideas running rampant! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 I guess I am asking if you guys paper that area first ? I guess I am having trouble fitting my mind around how everyone papers that area in Greenleaf houses ?I'm much help, it depends, when it's in dry fit, on what a bear it would be to get to to decorate after it's glued together. If I paper first, I leave 1/8"-1/4" margin on either side of each wall piece It's a lot easier to trim off extra paper afterwards than trying to piece extra after it's together), and lay the pieces side by side to get a drop-match on the wallpaper; it's so much easier for me to figure out these things if I can wait until the house is together to hang the paper, but sometimes the area is just too small or fiddly for that.

Monica_the_haunted Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 I paper the areas 1st... always. I personally cannot stand trying to fit my head and hands simultaniously inside those tiny rooms. I just dryfit and mark where the floors will be and then I just put the appropriate wallpaper up to the line where the floors are going. My Arthur still sits undone because of a wallpaper mishap after the house was assembled so, I feel ya on not wanting to do it after assembly.

brandan Posted September 5, 2009 Author Share Posted September 5, 2009 thanks so much Monica and Holly ! I am full of trepidation but I will show the results when I stop trembling in fear lol. Thanks so much for your input though, it is those dang little areas of angles where the roof is at the second floor wall but I am gonna try and paper those first and try and match the rest of the dang wall. Wish me luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roxxie Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 The Haunted house is verrrrry Spookily Great! My favorite detail ...the candles in the skulls.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grynche Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 What a creepycute little house. I love it. Now that I know what the Canterbury looks like, I'll have my sis send me the one she rescued. I'm inspired to stock up on Hallowe'en items this year. A haunted house I could get 'into' doing. Great work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
