Makeup Theme Dollhouse

"One:11" dollhouse - Commissioned Assignment From The MakeupRoom


One of my good friend, Jyue Huey. She is the best makeup artist in town, her makeup skill is incredible, I learned some of my makeup skill from her, but I have never reach her level.
She own a makeup service company, always have a new ideas, new creation....

One day, she asked me if I can do up  a dollhouse miniature for her recent makeup event theme ?
I was so excited ! after a short discussion with her and her theme mate and see the picture and the actual event set up, I decided to give it a try.

I get my crafty best friend Carol, who are really good and in love with miniature making to join me for this project, and she is too, very excited and happy.
We don't have a very pro planning or details discussion or neither sketch .....
We just crap the material  and start making ! lol

So, I went to Carol's house about 2 to 3 days a week, from around 11am to evening time, about 8 hours each time to do the project.

We get so excited each time when we manage to figured and completed an item, sometimes we get frustrated when things don't work out like what we imagine, and failed but we still manage to create after all, the fun that we had was incredible and unforgettable !!
The thinking of finding a suitable materials was infinity !!

I can't wait to show you the project, let's not talk so much and see the picture !!

Miniature Dollhouse

Hallstatt Cafe


I knew I couldn't stop having fun to create miniature or making them from a kit that I found from store or from online store, since I started the first one ( Castle), I knew this is no ending. haha!
Today, I'm gonna share this European style romantic cafe dollhouse, it took me on and off almost 6 months to finally complete today and I couldn't wait for another second to share it with you.
I had the most fun time while putting this miniature dollhouse cafe together, also had the most hard time ever ! lol
So many intricate details and it makes me wonder since when I have "big and fat fingers" ?! 
Besides the intricate items, the wiring connection for total of 10 light bulbs via switches is also a huge challenge ! I messed up for the first time when I try to connect all the messy wires, and I really did a wrong connection and caused all the light bulbs to blow !! It was quite frustrating.

I have been trying hard to think  and figuring how does the wiring work..... and luckily I have success for the second try, so so happy !!

The outdoor chairs and tables were another biggest challenge, to bend all the wires in the same shape and fit for all.... It took me very very long time and lots of lots of patience.

The amount of cutting for paper cups, saucer, straws, plates, even pack the tiny macaron in the tiny mini plastic bag and wrapping those display in the shelve with wax paper..... many times I nearly give up!! haha !

Come ! come ! let's have a cuppa while continue telling you the story .....
(It's gonna be lot's of pictures !)

Welcome !
