    Great job Whitney! That is quite the journey from start to finish! I do hope you have the opportunity to see the dollhouse in action. I love the idea of storytelling with it.

    • @WhitneyLaBrie

      me too I would love to see how he uses it. He said that other magicians use dollhouses in their act and that they may want me to build new ones for them..how cool would that be!?

      Yes, I sat with the changes for a couple of days, trying to figure out a way to tell him that I wasn't going to do it! lol...but then I was like..that's ok, if he understands that I have to kinda wing it with wall paper and weird trim, then I'm ok with that too. Then I drank some wine and rolled up my sleeves and got it done! lol

    A quick corny magician joke:
    A Latino magician was nearing the end of his performance on stage.
    For his grand finale,he announced to the audience,
    “I shall now perform my finest moment.
    On the count of 3,I shall vanish into thin air!!!”
    He counted:
    ‘Uno…’
    ‘Dos…’
    POOF
    He dissapeared,without a ‘Tres’.

      oh for sure, fantasy is right up your artistic alley! If you have the space and the time, I recommend at least one dollhouse build, they really teach you a lot!

So my favorite house designs are by Greenleaf…but they are known to be a little difficult to build and also their wood kinda sucks…but they have small ones that would be good for a starter house. Real Good Toys..featured in this video are high quality wood and much easier to assemble…but also do not have the ornate designs. I would check out both brands and see what you are attracted too! 🥰

Most times you can really think about each room and what you visualize being inside (furniture, decor) and then take a little time with it, so building an entire house really quickly this way a little different for me, but also really satisfying too!

      hahahahahaha! Same..hard wiring is my next big things I want to learn, I know a little but not enough to do what he had to do with this! when dry brushing I try to do small areas at a time and also you can go in different directions so not to create too much pattern. I try to imagine a story line, for example, "maybe wind blew this directions for a long period of time, or a tree was near the house and so it scratched the paint off here, or the roof was leaking and so the paint in this area came off." hope that makes sense!
