Missymew Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 It's the porch that really attracts me to this particular dollhouse. -Susanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LPCullen Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 That house is absolutely stunning, and it is MUCH bigger than it appears in that picture! I happened to see one while in New York, and that house is GORGEOUS!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallhouset Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Does any one know who painted it like that? That is fantastic. Another to add to my list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 Well after a good night's sleep (and actually dreaming dollhouses...) I keep coming back to the Mary Poppin's theme, don't know why but IF I could convince hubby I do think that that is what I would like to make out of it... Oh, one can dream, right?!? ;) Hugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deb Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 The Washington 2.0 Stand by for further details! Okay, I'm standing by!! <shifting from one foot to the other> I know! Everyone grab your sleeping bags, camp chairs, coolers and favorite snacks. This is like the virtual equivilent of standing in line for days waiting for concert tickets. <cackle> Very cool Dean! It's great to see such a sweet house coming back on the market. Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mind if I poach it? I may have to add that to my list of "to do"s. (And another storage box to start collecting stuff in.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiniMadWoman Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 What an adorable house! I'm adding it to my list . . . {{looking behind my back to make sure hubby's not lookin'!}} Does any one know who painted it like that? That is fantastic. I don't know who painted this house, but it's exactly the kind of painting I used to do and used to teach in my studio! I never would have thought to paint a house like that . . . definitely on my 'to do' list!! I finally know too what I'm going to do with my Robin's Roost!!

chesterfieldzoo Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Geez Dean. What a tease you are. Post a great pic with offers of news soon and then leave us hanging. Doesn't soon mean like today maybe? And what other houses are there going to be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 The toll painting on this little house is so pretty and inspiring, I ran a copy off and showed it to my husband and adult daughter. They agreed that it is really sweet. It will be forever before I finish my Garfield and the Beacon Hill (which I ended up buying by mistake because it was supposed to be out of order and then it came anyway and I ended up with 2 houses!) is sitting in the wings and will be my next project, but this sweet little house is kind of in the back of my mind now!! This hobby is beginning to turn into an obsession!! LOL I love Greenleaf! Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Color Me Holly Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Remember to share pictures! -Susanne I will! Just as soon as I find the liner brush I need. I could order it online, but I am allergic to the shipping charges. I am having trouble locating one here. I finally know too what I'm going to do with my Robin's Roost!! I can't wait to see yours.

TinyJudi Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 The painting is wonderful. I can see all kinds of possibilities with this house. The ideas are spinning inside my head...I better jot some of them down so I don't get overloaded. Ok...finish the Glencroft while patiently waiting for this house to become available....I must stay focused. Oh, it is just too difficult to focus right now. I am gonna go look at the Washington again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it might be kind of hard to show online, Nutti. I know there are books out there that show the different techniques, but I find it much easier to learn from someone in person. I think Micheal's offers classes in folk art or tole painting which you may find useful! You may want to purchase a book if you're so inclined, which I think you can also get at Micheal's, and give it a go. Most books outline the different brushes too and what they're used for. I can't live without my shading brush, dry brush and my liner . . . love 'em!! YES, your hutches would look absolutely charming with painted touches on them!!

She has some pretty good books, too. Plaid, I think, sells her line of stuff. They sell laminated practice sheets that can be painted. Jackie Shaw books are good, I think they are out of print. Beginning Tole Painting Series by Linda Wright YES, your hutches would look absolutely charming with painted touches on them!! I agree!
