Art in Progress
. 1895 farm house This dollhouse is a near replica of the farmhouse I lived in in the 1950s in Iowa. This dollhouse was the first dollhouse that I built, starting in 1976, and finishing in 1991, when I displayed it at the Phoenix NAME show (the one where everyone sweltered in the extreme summer heat). I built this dollhouse totally from scratch. I had no plans, but had slides of the real house taken at right angles to the sides. I shone the slides on a piece of paper and backed up the slide projector until the purchased windows were the same size as those in the slide. 1895 farm house This house is decorated as if a wealthy farm family lived there with grown daughters returning with their family for a dinner celebrating the graduation of the young daugter.
