Sarah's Dollshouse

These are the pictures showing the construction of the Tudor Dolls House fireplace for the kitchen.

I used thick card and glued on pieces of balsar wood to give strength to the joints.

I cut out the bread oven and the salt saver as we saw in the Tudor houses at Stratford Upon Avon.

I covered the fireplace with Polyfilla to give it a rough texture. I then painted it with white acrylic paint mixed with sand.

The bricks are cut out of sand paper that I have coloured with pastels over the top to give it some extra colour. Once I stuck them on the fireplace I rubbed in some charcoal to leave a 'sooty' stain from the fire.
