I bought the 'Sugarplum' dollhouse kit made by Greenleaf. We followed most of the directions, but did make a few modifications.
Here is a photo montage of the fabrication process…

It was a lovely challenge and really helped me to grow as an artist. I can not wait for another opportunity to do book illustration work again :)
