Starting my blog for 2016 I would like to wish a Happy and Creative New Year to my visitors!!
As the first post for this year, I've chosen to present my first construction I made for my daughter some months ago. With this post I'm starting also a new chapter for this blog that has to do with playable DIY and scratch build constructions (dollhouses etc.) that I will do in the future.
About the House. It is build by cardboard covered with wood stucco as a hardener. Windows, doors and floor is made by balsa wood and the window's glass is a transparent plastic sheet.I wanted to be as much realistic is possible without loosing its "Comic based" look.
Below you can see some pictures taken during the procedure.Unfortunately I've forgotten to capture some stages of the construction.

That house sure is super-cool nice. Did your daughter outgrow her toy?_Working with the most basic of stuff, art and crafts come into their own unique measuring place... and one can enter into the world of the scratch-builder. Everyones efforts in creating what I always see as beautiful things is worthy of praise. Well Done. Greetings from BB
ReplyDeleteThanks BB! No, she is still playing with it, with her girlfriends. Although , the residents have changed! ( and changing all the time..)When I did that house for Peppa she was 3 years old and there was nothing else in her mind but Peppa Pig! Now she is almost 7 and the residents are the "famous to all" Playmobil! I still enjoy playing with her..( hehe, I'm playing the pirates that comes from the sea to...dring a coffee with her..:))
DeleteA lot of fun we had with this house but unfortunatelly I didn't manage to continue with other buildings as it was in my plan...
Cheers,
George
