Witch's Cottage

A while ago I got a very simple dollhouse from the local charity shop. It was a thick plywood thing with printed on details that a previous owner had attempted to engrave. I initially thought about finishing the engraving, but the details were quite big and didn't look great, so I quickly pivoted to gluing on new textures and details.

I replaced the printed brickwork with individual bricks made of foamboard, which I then picked off with my fingernails to leave an eroded effect.

I tiled the roof with rectangles of grey card to simulate slate.

For the floors, I laid strips of balsa wood to simulate floorboards.
