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

@@BentleyHouseMinis My pleasure. They have some gorgeous cotton fiber papers. Some would make some really nice wallpaper too. Also, these papers are made to take a variety of mediums.. As you see, they take paint very well. Also sprays, inks, pastes, etc.

@@AbiNomac Right.. they do sell out, and discontinue, their papers quite often sadly.. However, they will have something similar sometimes. 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.. It could still look nice when painted the way you want it, etc. This one is nice too, as an alternative. www.tonic-studios.com/products/craft-perfect-luxury-embossed-card-steel-diamonds-a4

One "beauty" trick used by some ladies was to take a bit of Laudanum to give that frail "fey" look they thought so desirable. Worked well, so long as the lady did not over-imbibe. Some parents also used it to calm their over-active children. A forerunner to today's ADHD meds?

So great! You're inspiring me again, Ara! I love that you're making the most of your cutting machine. Mine's gotten a bit dusty, except for a batch of little glitter-houses I made before Christmas. Now my mind is going back to my tree house. 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!

And one more thing.... this box is turning out great and can I just say... That floor! Holy cow, was that a kind of meditating for you? Hahaha Alrighty then. Off to part 2, see ya there.🤗
