Intrinsicat Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 I just found this community and am very excited to learn from the experts! To make a long story short, I'm thinking that I can condense my love for Halloween into some smaller projects by working in miniature (while most people have more boxes of Christmas decor, I have 2 Xmas boxes compared to about 15 Halloween boxes). Because we're moving I've whittled that down to 5... but after finding this online: Haunted Dollhouse it just seemed like the perfect smaller outlet since I'll never end up living in a Addam's style house. I've been wandering around here reading about the different techniques and suggestions (I have a lot to learn). I just won a Beacon Hill on eBay - along with a miniature Ouija board and creepy portrait... it's a start! I'll try to wander around some more before I asked any repetitive questions - glad this place is here!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fairymom Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Hi there, welcome to the forum. yes I also love halloween. my favorite theme for minis. i used the beacon hill to do a haunted house. it is just a perfect house for doing up haunted! good luck i know you will have fun with it. you can check mine out at http://community.webshots.com/user/fairimom i named it the Thornhill Manor after the estate in Jayne Eyre. one of my favorite books. there is also the Shady Acres, a much smaller house but just as fun to build. i also like to make haunted rooms in carvable pumpkins and cauldrons. very fun and great decorative centerpiece for your halloween party table. i am working with my daughter on a haunted dollhouse right now. good luck, keep me posted i adore looking at other people's haunted houses! everyone has such a unique style! please let me know if i can be of any help! heh-heh-heh have fun!-holly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hydroped Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Hi Intrinsicat! Oh yea We Love Halloween It's my favorite holliday and I'm ashamed to admit I've never made a mini haunted house - It's on the list though I wonder if I can get one done by Halloween... hmmm probably not - too many UFO's around the house (UnFinishedObjects) LOL. One of the items I'd like to figure out how to make is a mini FCG. I've seen a photo of it done in mini but still haven't figured out exactly how Welcome to the Forum!!! -David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minis On The Edge Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Welcome to the Forum Jen!! I LOVE the link you sent us too! What a cool house! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilovecats Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 COOOOOLLLL!!!!!!! I can't wait to see how your house turns out! I will be starting my haunted house in another month or so. Looking forward to seeing your pictures! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intrinsicat Posted June 8, 2006 Author Share Posted June 8, 2006 Thanks for the warm welcome! Fairymom - you're haunted house is amazing! That's very much similar to what I'm envisioning! I just LOVE all the details! I'm sure I'll be bugging you with lots of questions... I mailed away for an old 2002 copy of Miniature Collector because the front cover had a haunted house on it. They added a basement level by placing it on something and building a hill to hide the extra level on the front side. Which, of course, was a perfect place for a cemetery. So many ideas.... I'm moving this summer, so I have to do that first... so it'll be slow going. I'm going to take this time, though, to learn as much as possible since I have a feeling I'm taking on a major project for being completely new to this. But that's my nature. It's nice to find out that haunted dollhouses aren't shunned! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nice to find out that haunted dollhouses aren't shunned! I have become obsessed with my haunted house and haven't even started it yet! I have the October 2002 copy of MC! The builder is Patricia Paul and I will be doing the same thing with my house, the basement with the front and sides as a hill. I will be using a similar theme to her house, she has it's inhabitants as mostly skeletons, I purchased some fimo and sculpey to make my own. Her is her website so you can see her cool skellies! http://patriciapaulminis.com/haunted.htm I am in love with her skellies and want to do up a couple of skellie ladies drinking tea...a skellie butler, a skellie in a hip bath (see page 18) when you get your MC., a skellie sitting in front of a dressing table etc.... I also want to make a mummy for outside and other creepy inhabitants! I purchased a pram yesterday from ebay and will have a skellie nanny pushing it out front with some sort of monster baby in it. I was going to do a baby skellie, but that's kind of morbid. So i figure some kind of monster baby would work just great! I am sooo excited that someone else will be doing a haunted house and i can't wait for your pictures! I forgot to say welcome btw...sooooo welcome! margarita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
