I really wanted to thank you for sharing information about the frames for pictures and other clever design ideas... BTW ~ folks who have a lot of money will often build their homes like a lot of dollhouses are... but just like in your dollhouse, we can build a world of our own design! 😊

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

Thank you so much! You are exactly right Patricia!! I'm so Glad it was helpful! 💖💖💖💖☺️

[@SaraH-te9vb]

Such lovely family photos! What a delightful way to enjoy them! Thank you for the ideas!

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

You are so Kind!!Thank You 💗

[@kathleenphillips6445]

Thank you so much for sharing this technique! I love how you put all the black and white family photos in the dollhouse (I saw it in another one of your videos). You do such nice work!

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

Thank You Kathleen 😊!!! I really like the cozy feel of old black and white pics. Although my mom did have some art on the walls we had more family pictures than art! 😀💖

[@beatriceblankenship1239]

Your mom is a Beautiful lady, I think it’s a real treat to see you incorporate your Beautiful family in your dollhouse.thank you for sharing this dollhouse adventure with us,I’m loving it very much and fill very inspired .keep up your wonderful world of a dollhouse adventure.

Very beautiful photographs your aunt and mum are stunning xxx

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

Thank You Paula!They we're/are Beautiful Women ❤️ It's ALOT of fun seeing peaking in the dollhouse and seeing them as children! Thank you for watching ☺️

[@CassandrajustCassandra]

I love the family photos. The women in your family are so beautiful with stunning bone structure. The men are also very handsome, now we know where your natural beauty comes from. The detail in those frames is incredible. What a truly achievable result this method gives. Time to look for molds! Thank you so much Gretchen for consistently making such helpful and down to earth videos.

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

You are so kind! Thank you! Check links below my description for the molds i used. I'm so glad you feel my videos are helpful and down to earth. i feel miniatures and dollhouses are for everyone not just the elite. Thank you for being here and for all your feedback and continued support!

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

Thank you for Such a Sweet compliment ❤️☺️ l have some many old family pictures! It seems a shame to leave them in a box to fade! I think putting them in my dollhouse keeps their memory alive!😊 Thank you for your feedback l'm glad you think my style is down to earth. That is the BEST compliment ❤️!!!😃

[@peggyhemenger8983]

I'm so grateful for this tutorial, I was wondering how you made those intricate beautiful frames. I'm grateful even more for another glimpse into your family history. Your grandmother and mother were both so beautiful, and I love seeing these old black and white photos. I'd say you definitely look like your mom. The photos do look great in the vintage looking frames. I've got some liquid sculpey I've yet to try, now I've gotta find some molds!

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

Definitely try this technique! Check out the molds in link of description box under video. Thank you for watching let me know how it goes!

[@johnahenry1028]

Your family photos, look really good in frames.

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

Thank you it was ALOT of FUN! Thank you for watching ❤️

[@Dotlikesred]

Oh Gretchen you are such a genius! ( I know you're going to laugh at me, but the rest of us "dolls" know it's true!) You should be doing break out classes at doll/miniature shows and expos! Have you ever done that? That's a show I'd want to attend. These photos of your family are so beautiful. I especially love the ones of your mom and your great grandmother. ❤

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

WOW!Such a Wonderful Compliment! Thank you! I think about classes all the time! I'm glad to hear you would be interested! I have so many ideas sometimes I don't know what to do 1st! Lololollol 😂😂❤️ Thanks again

I love seeing all the family pictures. I think they make the dollhouse very personal.

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

Yes I totally understand the value of old pictures. We have lost many pictures over the years...tears. These pictures in the Dollhouse will ALWAYS be on display. When I'm gone they will be a Part of this Collection 🙂. These Pictures are safer in my Dollhouse than where I found them in box in someone's basement.

[@laurawiles410]

@@littlegretchensworkshop7665 I do think it's a wonderful way to display the photos so they can be appreciated. It's just that your skill level exceeds my own. I always seem to cut wonky and get glue in the wrong place. For those like me, practicing on copies is a good idea. Obviously, you can pull it off with the originals, because they turned out great. 😊

[@tinynina76]

So beautiful! Results are good- very nostalgic. Thank you for showing this technique.☺

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

You are So Welcome! I hope you try it! It is simple and budget friendly!

Love it! My doll houses are not historically acurate either. They are what I Like,the way I like them. They are my little escape rooms.😊

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

YES, ESCAPE ROOMS 🤣 LITTLE ESCAPE ROOMS! When I work on my projects it's like l find the space in my mind that's INSIDE THE DOLLHOUSE....then I know what to CREATE!

[@pamcreswell3912]

Thank you so much for your tutorial. I learn so much from your videos that I have used in my gnome treehouse.

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

That is Wonderful to hear! that these techniques work even for gnomes house!LOLOLOL! I appreciate you for sharing that! Thank you for being a part of my journey!

[@recoveringsoul755]

Wow I'm surprised the baked clay is still flexible!! That's great. Very attractive photos of very attractive family. I've seen someone use these molds to put hot glue inside, and then paint the result, but hot glue doesn't hold up over time as well I Don't think.

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

Yes the flexibility is a plus for me because my walls have issues and frames will conform and not lift away from the wall! LOL!

[@shandy6870]

I popped over to this video from a video posted today "Mini Picture Frames from Scrap". What a great idea using polymer clay to capture the intricate designs. Usually miniature frames with that much detail are made with metal and are quite heavy. Thanks for sharing your secret.

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

Thank you! I'm so Glad you enjoyed this!!

[@candacemackey7545]

I love that you are sharing your family with us! They are so beautiful. Putting their pictures in your rooming house shows how much you love them❤ Thanks for the frame demo, now I can make some of my own.

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

GLAD you enjoyed it 😊

[@diane64yorks]

Hi, I love the frames, thank you for showing how to create them, your old photos are lovely, they are going to look marvelous in your dolls house, I love b/w and sepia photos, I have some of my family including my great-grandparents. I'm looking forward to your next video, best wishes from Diane in Yorkshire, England 🇬🇧

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

Thank you so much , Glad you like them! i feel this is a wonderful way to have them on display always instead of in a box or dusty album! The will be a part of this Dollhouse collection forever! Thank you for being here!

[@kerryhitzke4490]

You know, no real house is historically correct. Homes start simple and build up over time, adding all kinds of furniture, pictures and knick knacks that reflect the changing ages of the family members and the new people who join the family. Your house is really authentic. ❤️

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

THANK YOU ❤️❤️😊 That's how I feel every Doll house should be! Unique and Authentic! Not duplicate of anything that currently exists ....it should be One of a Kind ☺️ thanks for being here!

[@sarahrussell1076]

Wonderful thank you so much ❤ my house is sort of Victorian but sort of not. It’s what looks right. ❤

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

I LOVE TO HEAR THIS SARA!!! IT'S YOUR DOLLHOUSE! There is no Such thing as YOU CAN'T! You can have a wood burning stove, a loaf of Wonder bread and Tide laundry soap all in the same dollhouse! HAVE FUN!

[@tara44789]

Thank you. I actually made frames this week with resin. I love the black with gold. it gives such a good antique detail. I'm certainly going go try it. I actually made one yesterday with my great, great, great grandmother's picture and gave to my mom. Rub n buff is wonderful.

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

WOW! I nevern thought of using Resin to make frames! LOL! Yes that Rub n Buff is Awesome! What a LOVELY Gift to be cherished FOREVER!

[@tara44789]

The UV resin works good, hard type. If you have a cheap UV light or nail dryer it's much quicker.

[@shirleymiller9267]

Thank you so much for sharing your technique. Gonna get my molds out and get frame making!

Those silicone molds look like an absolute boon to have!

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

They Truly made life easier!!! Lolololol!!! Wish I had those when i was a kid! LOLOOLOL!!

[@tinykeyholeminis]

💖 I have the same molds..and I have used air dry clay in the past which is pretty simple after you get the hang of it..but there are a few tricks to make it easier...the liquid clay is a much simpler way... there is a bit more work with a solid clay.. I just recently tested out resin for the frames...the resin took triple time to cure and was still wet on the inside and that was bc the mold is not clear...I haven't painted them yet and the resin is clear so its hard to tell how well they turned out.. I will have to give the liquid sculpy a try..🤔 maybe I will try that next time...I do a black base and use a dry sponge stamper to highlight the details with Metallics and that works out lovely... and now that I just got my new fav.. metallic antique copper ..I most certainly will be painting some with that! This was great to see your way of creating the same frames bc you showed me how to use a medium I didnt think to try...🥰 Thank You for sharing! Always Learning something Great!!

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

I'm glad you saw something that inspired you! I'm looking forward to hearing how it turns out! Thank You for your support!

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

Thank You 😊💕☺️

[@elizabeths4371]

VERY Informative! I've used dollar store Air Dry clay in these silicone molds, and once they're cured and painted they become quite durable. Even so, the air dry clay is by its very nature, more fragile than liquid polymer clay, so I'm definitely going to have to give that product a try out, too- a GREAT tutorial!

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

I haven't used air dry clay in years I need to get me some! I didn't know that some dollar stores have it! Thank you for sharing and watching ❤️

[@tamdaniels5382]

Oh Yes Curtains!!! I’m excited!! Those picture frames were fabulous!!! And I hope you don’t mind me saying but You Look Just Like Ur Mom!!!

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

LOLOLOL! I TRULY DO! I think as a child people thought i looked like my Aunt but as a Woman I LOOK just LIKE MOM!!!!

[@marykayryan7891]

This was really interesting. I made over 100 frames for a house whose sole purpose was to display pictures of women who rebelled against 19th century standards for womens' lives. I made mine out of epoxysculpt using the same molds you did. I have never used liquid polymer clay in this way. How long did you have to bake them for? Thanks for the new method.

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

Hi MARY KAY! I baked them for around 20 minutes. They are still flexible too! I never tried epoxy sculpt i need to try that! 100 FRAMES WOW! That is AMAZING!!! I would Love to see that!

[@FreshGrey-pm4vw]

I have used the air dry clay for other projects and its very cheap - the liquid clay looks easy but for one ounce only at $8, might be a bit spendy.

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

I totally agree! I use the liquid clay because of the flexibility! The walls in this Dollhouse are not completely flat so a little flexibility is needed for this project. Thanks for the air dry clay suggestion!

[@livinglife8333]

I hope these are copies of pictures, 😊

[@littlegretchensworkshop7665]

Nope they are not copies they were forgotten in an old box and decided to give them REAL honor inside the dollhouse. In the box they were forgotten.

[@donnacameron4515]

Where do you order the molds and that liquid stuff from. I love the ornate frames. I have made wooden frames but some fancy ones would be nice as well.
