I did it! I got my ADO Halloween Challenge projects done with plenty of time to spare. Woop Woop. The 1:12 scale dollhouse witch is borrowing the witches from MacBeth's cauldron which I made for the Shakespeare challenge. I will be posting them when that event is over.

Halloween House

I got a used dollhouse that I want to turn into a Halloween House and after way to long deliberating on how to paint it, I jumped in today. First I had to pry off the hearts and flowers and take off some trim.

Halloween WIPS

I'm almost done, just have some cleaning up, painting and details to get finished. It's also been to long since I made any doll house dolls so I started one that will be a witch. I'm still wanting to make some 1:24th scale dolls but this one is going to be 1:12th scale.
