Paint or paper??
I know many doll house enthusiasts use mini wallpaper, but have any of
you completed miniature murals/paintings or tromploei in a doll house setting? If you have would you post photos of your work & /or provide any tips? Also, do any of you make/sculpt your own dolls from polymer clays? Any photos or tips would be appreciated. Thanks Jolie |

The only tip I can offer, and this can apply equally well to paint or paper, is to do your painting or papering on separate insertable wall covers (thin cardboard, for example) to avoid having to work with 12-inch hands in a 1-inch (or half-inch or quarter-inch) setting! - Herb |

I have tried too. Made a little jointed baby about 1 inch long with
jointed arms and a face only a mother could love or could have left in the cabbage patch. I guess we both need to practice. |

Sometimes it takes a little work to make sure that it doesn't warp from the moisture in the wallpaper glue or the paint. If it's going around a visible corner, it doesn't work that well for a painted room unless you can do a very clean fold - difficult with cardstock. You also have to plan carefully for windows, doors, electric connections, etc. We have a dollhouse where we made one bathroom's back wall a completely removeable piece of foamcore to allow access to the hallway behind it. - Herb |
