My Little Red Dolly

Post by **Lynn** » Wed May 07, 2014 7:59 pm

Here is my Little Red Dolly. This house was a real fun project, thanks for the windows Brian without them I never could have made this house. The base is 6 X 3 inches and 5/8 inch high. The house including the base is just 3 and 6/8 inches tall. Once the base was cut out and pieced together I glued a piece of heavy cardboard much like we do for the houses at the bottom to keep it nice and sturdy. I used Meyer Imports German Glass glitter #80 red and Twinklets Diamond Dust. I did cut out a hole in the back, hoping for some light will shine a bit through the paper windows.

Lynn,

I LOVE the fact that you carved the fence and gate out of the base Dolly-syle. Of course, Dolly had a huge stamping machine that did it all in one slam - this was a lot of work for you. Brian's windows look great, too. VERY NICE

Well Lynn you nailed this one--so very professional that I thought this had to be a Lamey house! You are a true putz artisan!

Thank you all so much for your kind words, it truly means so much to me!
I would love to make more Dolly houses. Howard you mentioned a series of these houses, do you have any pictures? I have found a few pictures on EBay and the Web always keeping my eyes open for my next house. I have been chatting with Pete, he is working on some of the other window and door sets so I am really excited that I will be available to get these!!
