Quilled in Michigan

  Hello, again! It's time for the next part of my quilled dollhouse! For the record, although I almost completed this part, I didn't actually finish it, and I got busy...so maybe don't expect too many updates in the near future. 😂 Here is version #3 of the stairs! I didn't take photos of version #1 and #2... They were awful. And I suffered through making them for HOURS. No kidding! This part of the project literally took me THREE DAYS to complete! 😭 I stopped adding a backside the third time around, and that saved SO MUCH TIME. Moral of the stories is: If they ain't gonna see it from the front, then it don't need to look good in the back. So yeah, I decided to only worry about the part people would see and not the rest: Aaaaand here is the making of the bookshelf for under the stairs: If you look closely, you can see the remains of the original shelf that I tore apart in rage...or at least wanted to tear apart in rage. And here...(drumroll please!) is the al...

 Welcome back, Y'all! This is part two of my journey creating a 3d quilled dollhouse, which has never existed before. This is where we left off last time, with the bedroom completed: Here is my inspo for the fixtures in my bathroom: And here they are in progress: And here they are complete! I added a ceiling light, wall art galore, a mirror over the sink, towels (both bath and hand towels) and toilet paper. Some of which you can't see from this angle, but it is what it is, haha. This is a better angle to see them: And here is where those rooms are in relevance to each other. And yes, you're receiving a sneak peek of next week's project: The Stairway (Ugh, the stairway was AWFUL...)

 Welcome to my journey through creating a quilled dollhouse! I decided to start this project without any real inspiration, since quilled dollhouses aren't exactly a thing. It has been quite the undertaking, but a lot of fun too! I started off with this cute wire doll bed that I found a photo of on Pinterest, and decided that I thought I could recreate it with paper: This is what I ended up with!  It wasn't bad, but I could definitely see ways to improve it. And most importantly, it ended up WAY to big to use in the frame I had picked out.  And yes, it took me 1 1/2 hours, but it was definitely worth it in the end. 😁 I then got to work on re-creating it in a smaller version! This is the either the headboard or footboard, (I can't remember which) and it was almost exactly one square inch! To give you a better idea of how big it is, here it is next to the original one I made: This one also took me 1 1/2 hours, but that's because I had to do a lot of the work with tweezers...
