This is my house zoomed in so you can see more detail!

This is my dollshouse

This is my dollshouse (one of the layers). In this room there will be 2 bedrooms 1 girls room and a boys room. As you can see on the far left there is a little gap with nothing there, there will be some stairs here. To seperate the two rooms I will use a peice of cardboard with a door in the middle and with a tiny door knob. For the girls room (far right room) I have used stripey wrapping for the wallpaper. For the bead I had this metal shaped box that held 2 soaps but I used it for a bed. I put some thick foam for the matress. Then with other wrapping paper I put it on the bed for the cover and I did the same fo the pillow. In the bed there is a toy snake (you might not see but on the bed there is some green that is it) I made this by using a peice of thick foam and stuck a peice of orange plastic bag shaped as a snakes tongue for the snakes tongue. I covered the bed in plastiec bag. Also I ut a ladder attached to the bed this is made out of cardboard. Also there is a toy next to the bed it is ament to be a stuffed pig (toy) but it is actualy made out of foam. For the other room I havn't done anything but i have put some wrapping paper on the wall which is ament to be wallpaper. In this room there will be a bed made out of cardboard, foam and fabric also there will be some C.D's maybe a guitar, some shelves and a wardroabe. And then on the other floors there will be a kitchen, master bedroom, dining room, front room, these 2 rooms, loft conversion, bathrooms and also some stairs to get up to each floor. I will attach the layers together by using a super glue also I will try and have a backgarden.

My Peacock Gallery Artwork!

For the peacock gallery I am going to make a dollshouse. The picture on the left is not my dollshouse but this is the sort of layout I want to do. the layers of the house will be made out of cardboard and the other furniture will be made out of lots of recycled parts from diffrent places such as tubes. I am going to make the people in the house by using either cardboard for a stickman or i might use recycled things like my old tops for their clothes.

Paper animals

My Paper Animal

This is my animal! And no it is not a elephant! I did not like my elephant because it kept on wobling, it fell over and most important it didn't look like a elephant! I chopped of its head and used it for an owl. I paper massed the body then i covered it in glue and added a black cover for it's skin. Then i cut out felt for the eyes and white stomach. Then I cut out yellow plastic as the shape of feet. Also i used a pink flannel for the mouth and the ears. I also used some yellow plastc for the beak. For the wings I used black fur and stuck it on with super glue! That is how i made my penguin. BUT it didn't look like a penguin it looked like a owl so it is actually a owl. So i decided to call it a ellepenowl. Because it used to be a elephant then a penguin then a owl.

Paper Animals!

This is a elaphant in the making!

This is the body of th elephant it ismade out of sellotape and newspaper. I am now goin to make the head of the elephant i will do the same technique as in the picture but it would be smaller. I have also made a trunk that is not in thi picture. It was made out of rolled up newspapers. After that i would make the tusks out of scrunched up newspapers. Then for the legs i will make the shape out of cardboard and i would stuff it with newspaper. I will do the tail the same way I made the trunk. Iwill papermachey it and then paint it grey and add details.
