Witch's Lair
« on: September 24, 2010, 20:11:14 »
This custom build started off with two things..... a very nice pointed hat I bought and a spare "U" upper floor from a western sheriffs building. From this I created just for fun a witchs house. It would have looked better on a propper base but I've run out of them at the moment  ::)

Woah! So cool! ;D
I guess this answers my questions in your other thread. :-[

Here's a new one:
Where did you get the floor? :o ??? ??? ???
I think it would be awesome to use in a castle setting. ;D

Hi W.O.T ,
I've just had a look for the floor, you can buy sheets of printed paper from any doll's house website or you can make and print your own out - that's what I do.

This is so great Emma!!! I love your creativity!! How/what did you use to make the little books and maps?

Ok I cheat a little on this, if you google vintage maps and books you can save the images to print out later. I shrink and colourise the image, print it out on paper or card then if it's white I age it with some cold tea, then burn the edges with a match.
