| 1/24 Tea Shop Kit - Sample |
I see Summerween posts all over, which got me in the mood for a Halloween project. I can't stay away from it for too long!
I got out this half-scale (1/24) tea shop kit I bought from Teri Hanson Miniatures at the last spring dollhouse show.
Her prototype has a nice color combination, but I'm changing the colors. I decided to make it into Halloween shops to hold some of my Halloween pieces and I don't have a shop in half-scale.
Here are the colors I decided on:
Here's the color scheme I figured out. It's easier to make a drawing to see how the whole thing may look.
Got the trim painted gray and all the windows and doors painted. I decided to make the bottom windows purple to add some contrast. The door frame will be purple or brown; haven't decided. Have to put "glass" in and then I'm going to make some stained glass on the smaller areas of the larger lower windows. That square on the door will have some Halloween art.
Some of the painted pieces. The others are also done. I think it'll look pretty good. That is the brick paper I'll be using. I want it to have a slightly aged look.
I'll have greenery and maybe some skulls or lit pumpkins in the window box. (That's the long box on the drawing with the green above it.) I think the lit window box outside and the tombstones/gargoyles will tie it all together.
I have quite a few Halloween pieces stashed away, but I see some new ones at Michael's this year. Waiting for the sale! I can always use new gargoyles and tombstones! I like getting different styles of tombstones each year which are always fun.
