Store progress (Houseworks Street of Shops)






I had a field day at Michael's today (lots of good bargains) and worked a little on the shop after work. The outside is now aged (with a wash of brown paint, crackle medium, and sanding) and I've begun working on the inside walls.

Also, all polymer clay 2 ounce packs were on sale for 99 cents, so I've begun experimenting with it. So far, I suck, and that's ok, but at least you can tell that my coffee mugs are coffee mugs... at least I hope so!

That is definitely a coffee mug!

If it starts to make you really crazy, diner white mugs are pretty easy to find in 1:12.

Paint and finishes look great! (And it's so funny that you've immediately fallen into the "let's do a smaller project first because it grabs me" trap -- everyone who builds dollhouses does this, and it's why I have a trail of supplies running the entire length of my tiny apartment even though I swore I would not do this again!)
