Cute, cute, cute! Thanks so much! Is a 3D engrave of the bricks a part of your design? I’m trying to figure out how you did it.
Wooh! totally cool!
Unfortunately not included. I was curious to see the file and to try that, because I’ve never had 3D engraves come out so “clean”…
Oh darn. I forget that Discourse deletes the raster. I’ll upload a zip with it in there!
You make the coolest stuff. Thanks for sharing!
We need something stronger than “like”… I am in awe of this…
This is perfect! I might just have to make one for my dollhouse loving friend!
Love this! (As I am making notes on how to use this for gingerbread next year )
Do have a question though, I am not familiar with the filter you mentioned in Inkscape, so I am going to look into that to see what it does. But you mentioned the screenshot and loading into the raster program to copy back into Inkscape. Couldn’t you have exported that as PNG and loaded it back in without going through the step of putting in the raster? It’s similar to what I did for my stone chimney, although I did mine a bit differently since I didn’t know how to get a vector shading. I just used blur in gimp and then inverted the colors.
Possibly - but I knew the screen shot method would work so I went with it! I did try exporting to the raster program and it came it as flat grey, so I presumed anything done via the vector program would be wiped…worth testing though!
It’s a big big for dollhouse - but if everything was done with 1/8 it would be half the width, so the size could be reduced at least that much!
Yes, I realize that I’m going to have to pull apart your design a little bit and adapt… if you don’t mind! It reminds me of the fireplace I created inside a match box once - using card stock and water color.
this is something I have never tried before… Including the painting to look so real. If only there was a video… Thanks for the parents. maybe I will acquire an artistic friend in the near future.
Absolutely feel free to modify the design in any way that makes your heart happy
The technique is called dry brushing - and on something that’s already three dimensional it’s shockingly easy - and as a bonus, if you don’t like what you did you can always laser another one! This video has a nice overview. I tend to use a much smaller brush (1/4" wide or so), and dump less paint on the paper towel, but this is pretty similar
I used a mix of white/black/grey - and didn’t mix them smoothly which got a random mix of those colours. The other option is to do each colour individually starting with the darkest.
That is cool…
Thank you so very much.
so cute! thank you!
So cute! Thanks for sharing!
