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. I want to use the trim from this house on a different house, besides it seemed kind of large to me and certainly not at all halloweeny.

Sometime I don't what's wrong with me, when I grabed the steak knife to pry off the stuff off the house, I knew it was a bad idea. That little voice said "go get a screw driver, this is a bad idea". But did I? Of course not, even though I waited for months to start - at that moment, I felt like there wasn't a second to spare. Well, I'm sure you see where this is going, the knife slipped and I stabbed myself right into the palm of my other hand. Fortunately, it was the meaty part of my palm, so some Neosporin and bandages and I was back in business and on my way to the garage for a screwdriver.

This is what I got done today.

I have a couple of works in progress for Halloween, because of all the detailing of my Queen of Hearts doll I was in the mood to do something larger, so I started a ghostie. 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.
