Decorating my Dollhouse for Fall and Halloween

Autumn is my favourite season to decorate my dollhouse. 

This is actually my house made from a couple of old cigar boxes and I think I "play" with this one more than any of my real dollhouses.  I love my dollhouses but sometime I find the walls too restrictive and dioramas have more a little freedom to expand.  

These Ghost picks are from Dollarama. They had pumpkins and one other style I can't remember. 

 

The doormat below is made from a sandpaper pad that had a sponge backing. I used a rubber stamp and markers to decorate it. 

The jack-o-lantern is made of polymer clay. This one I used a mix of sculpeys but I prefer fimo for these as they do hold the shape a little better.

I made a tinfoil ball slightly smaller than the size of pumpkin I wanted. I first wrapped it in a thin layer of cream with a slight bit of orange and translucent and then I covered that with orange mixed with translucent. 

I always add translucent to colours I'm using to make foods like meat, veggies and fruit.

I pre-marked where I wanted to cut and then I baked it. I carved the lid first and used tweezers to pull out the tinfoil.
