Suzy's Minis

 

 

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...
