"Abandoned" Dollhouses By Artist Juli Steel

Using cardboard and black paper punch outs...

...I crafted two miniature shutters for my 1/12 scale Castle Tower dollhouse.

These shutters will eventually be situated near the two tiny windows of the small tower.

I used this Christmas decoration for lighting the small tower; see photo below, it temporarily decorates The Great Hall fireplace. I love it ❤️

These punches I used for miniature hinges and such for the shutters.

I love it when I use my craft supplies for different kind of crafts.

Work in progress: I'm building a Castle Tower dollhouse.

Here is my custom Rarity doll using a Scaris Catrine doll. She is rerooted with aubergine saran hair from @customdollhairAU and is wearing a work in progress outfit.

I really intended to round off her outfit with a cutie mark but I literally ran out of time packing and getting ready for my big move so she's not quite as polished as I would have wanted her since I also wanted to curl her hair too.

“The unicorn stood still at the edge of the forest and said aloud, “I am the only unicorn there is.” They were the first words she had spoken, even to herself, in more than a hundred years.”

Some of the families of Sylvania have gathered for the Christmas tree lighting. But where is Daisy Maple?

A Discovery in the Enchanted Forest

Blythe a Day October 2023 for: Pumpkins

Fuchsia came across the most peculiar specimen as she walked through the Enchanted Forest. Orange gourds growing on branches. It was a Pumpkin Tree!

(The specimen that Fuchsia encountered was actually Solanum integrifolium, an ornamental eggplant, also known as Pumpkin on a Stick.)

Building a versatile room for your bjd pictures.

I posted this in the Granado themed thread on Den of Angels, and I thought I’d add it here too for those who’d like an insight on how I built the “Treasure Room” for this year’s @doll-granado​ photo contest. Maybe those tricks can help you build your own bjd space for immersive photos: The room I built can be taken down to pieces; Most of it is made of cheap foamcore sheets. - So you have the walls, which are two separate pannels of 5 black foamcore sheets glued together with hot glue. In the photoshoot I simply covered them with fabric to simulate a tapestry. - Then I built two different set of shelves in black foamcore, (foamcore and hot glue are really easy to work with and aren’t expensive.) Those two pieces are the most difficult to store afterward, but depending on what you make as furniture, you can use them to store your own stuff - The practical part of using foamcore is that you can pin stuff in it. This is how I made those little picture frame stick to the wall, the mirror, the unicorn tapestry and the curtain. When you’re done with your shooting, or if you need the space, just unpin everything and put them away. So you have a base set made of foamcore, and by changing the fabric on the wall and the deco around it, you can morph it into many different room design. Now let’s add a Granado face to this post: Funny fact: The two artwork on the right are actual paintings that were stolen and NEVER RECOVERED to this date “Poppy Flowers” by Vincent van Gogh, and “The Concert” by Johannes Vermeer Guess who’s the guilty party? hehehe
