Greetings to all…

It’s a new month...June...(well, perhaps a day early)...and time for a new project...

There were several houses in the original Dolly Toy Company series with printed graphics rather than glitter, mica or foil finishes…this is my fourth interpretation of a Dolly “printie” house…here’s a list of the other three I’ve posted on the forum…

Just a few notes…I would suggest making the balcony first before locating the mounting slits in the front wall…I did not cover the inside or bottom of the balcony…I just painted these areas with a green craft paint that was close to the green of the graphics…

I'll post the printed graphics in a week or two...graphics for the green roof can be found here…

I’ll post a picture of the completed house later this month…stay tuned…

This project is finished. I'm still planning to make a printed stone church later this year...that will make five Dolly Toy Company inspired houses...stay tuned...I'll post a "family portrait" of all five later...

Looks awesome Howard! I have some really big Dolly houses that have the "stone" look to them. I will send you the graphics of you like through email.

Thanks for the offer...but I already have graphics and have started on the church...but perhaps you could post the graphics you have on the forum as a PDF and make them available to others...
My very best regards...

One of your very best Howard.

This is a beautiful Swiss Chalet - VERY nicely crafted!
I especially like the "icing" on the tree

Oh my, this is gorgeous Howard. So bright and cheery. It’s hard to imagine the faded houses I’ve seen once looking like this.
