A Tiny Angel Tutorial

You might remember the little angel I made last year for my 450 followers give-a-way? Yesterday I made an even smaller angel.  :D

This is how I did it.

2 strands of stiffened ivory embroidery floss - for her arms and legs
1 small seed bead - for the head
3 strands of yellow embroidery floss - for her hair
Small piece of tissue paper and a small flower punch for her dress

First I folded the stiffened embroidery floss in half and inserted it into the bead. Then I pushed the fold up and added hair in the loop above the bead. I did a little wigging cross to style her hair.

Here is my finished little angel. Hope you like her. If you poke the photo you can see her better. My camera just doesn't take good pictures of things this small!

Palm Tree Tutorial

Pamela asked if I knew of a tutorial for making palm trees in dollhouse scale. This one by Leslie Shepherd at miniatures.about.com is one of the best I've seen.

Of course you can always look at a real palm tree and copy that using one of her techniques. These images are from realpalmtrees.com.






Of course you could always just buy a miniature palm tree. I would rather make something myself!

Blessings,

Isn't it pretty?! Thank you so much De! I hope my little tree looks as de-lightful as yours!

Merry Christmas blessings!

Fuzzy Dog?

This is my attempt at making a fuzzy dog for my dollhouse. As you can see, I'm not too good at this! I followed the tutorial I found by Marlene over at Somerset House.

It looks easy enough? You try it!

Here's what the dog is supposed to look like! Marlene, you are a genius!

Guess I'll go finish the laundry....
