  • This is Part 1 of 2 of my Ghost Story Project. In this video I will show how I created some of the basic architecture bits that make it more of a Victorian Room Box. Part 2 will go up next week and it will cover the Ghost, the accessories and the Story! Make sure you're subscribed so you don't miss it!

    I'm not finished with the video yet, loving it so far, but I wanted to stop before I forget.. heh Your flooring is actually paper. Being a paper crafter I recognized it right away. It's sold by Tonic Studios, and I believe you can sometimes find it on Amazon. Called Craft Perfect. It's a cotton paper blend. That being said, they have a ton of different "speciality papers" A lot of different patterns. Problem is, you can't always get the one you want in stock. They have a lovely cobblestone textured one that would probably look good in miniature as well, though I'm not sure about the scale. www.tonic-studios.com/pages/search-results-page?q=speciality+paper&page=3

Like this one, could maybe be turned and used. www.tonic-studios.com/products/craft-perfect-luxury-embossed-card-salmon-harlequin Not the same, but similar pattern..

I put a bit of craft foam on the gripping part of those plastic clamps. They were leaving marks on something I was making so I put the foam on and that was the end of that, no more marks.

I made a little prototype out of a cocoa tin, and it turned out great! No innards, though. I was more interested in testing my tree-mimicking ability, and the landscaping. I'm planning to make each room separately, and then arrange them inside the tree-trunk somehow. Should be interesting!
