I didn't have anything to match the previous couple prompts, so I skipped them. But today will work to show the main resident of the Van Buren half-scale dollhouse... the elderly lady is still waiting in the dining room for her lost love....
** Today is Day 24 of #septemberspookyseason24 on Instagram. Daily posts and some giveaways via @wyrdworldminiatures. (Click photos for full size.)
The doll was one of those generic porcelain figures I had bought cheap somewhere. I painted her fully gray (even her hair), and then redressed her in lace and fabrics I also dirtied-up. Thought she fit here well. Even the vintage "ghost" girls by the window wore their best!
I still have to add a few pictures on the walls and some silverware, plus more Halloween accessories. The spooky table and bench seat is part of the Gothic set from SDK Miniatures.
But speaking of the theme... look there's someone at the door, why it's Mr. Pumpkinhead! Well...and he's wearing his Sunday Best! Oh... do you think it's safe to let him in? We really don't know him very well...
I put the patio temporarily in front of the house and I think it looks really good. I have to make some adjustments and also add more on the outside of the house and the balcony, but I like how the colors match. It looks so much better with black squares.
One thing I did add that I can't believe I forgot - a couple gargoyles on the top roof. Not a great photo but the best I can do until the whole house is moved.
There are more visitors coming for Halloween, so stay tuned! Working on the attic and a few things in the kitchen yet so be sure to come back soon!
Thanks for visiting again!
