Gingerbread!

 Mini Gingerbread House

I have been admiring the Gingerbread houses in the magazines and decided it was time for me to make one for my dollhouse kitchen.  I am very pleased with the results!  I was not sure about the glitter because it seemed like it was maybe a little too "glam" but it actually turned out to just the right amount of sparkle.

I started with a molded plaster house

The house is raw sienna paint and the white "icing" is fake whipped creme used in making mini foods

Glitter added

The final result added to my dollhouse

Mini Queen Anne style doll

 Sometimes you need a miniature doll for a dollhouse project and you just have to make one yourself!

This was the case for me recently.  I wanted her to look old and a bit rough around the edges.  But she needs appropriate brocade clothes and crazy big 18th Century hair!

Here she is...I love her.
