Nina, you are Such an Inspiration!!! I have been trying to decide for ages whether to try the sandpaper bricks or the egg carton bricks on my Lovely Old Dollhouse! I figure I will start with the chimneys in case I can't bear doing the Entire house! Your sandpaper bricks look so good, I am leaning towards trying them! Are they hard to cut to size? This house is looking really Fantastic!
ReplyDeleteThe sandpaper ones are pretty easy to cut. I use a guillotine style paper cutter to cut them into strips and then just hand cut them to match the brick slips I have (3/4 of an inch long). I like the texture of the sandpaper, too, and there are some great colours already available. It's easy to colour the sheets, too -- diluted acrylic paint stippled on works a treat! Egg cartons would make good quoins or stones :)
