George Bernard Shaw once said, we don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing. Happy Spring ❤

[@Merveillesenpapier]

That's a very good quote. So true ! Thank you! happy end of april to you !

[@judyzennnaro7336]

I love the way you live in your art, your home is your little castle. Living in all your art. I know sometimes it is very difficult to box up and ship some of your artfully made treasures.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you Judy ! My home is for sure my little Castle :)

[@joycolli2023]

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS!!!!❤❤❤

[@carlamaggi9036]

Grazie Laetitia per condividere tanto generosamente le tue conoscenze nei tuoi corsi. È stata una magnifica avventura per me seguirti e sperimentare nuove tecniche. Continua a deliziarci!

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you very much Carla! You did for sure a beautiful dollhouse and it was fair to share it so that it could be fully admired ! :)

[@roksannastephens4375]

Hello sweetie. Lovely, such whimsy for the soul. Hmmm, starting small does sound like a good idea to create a doll house. I, too, love inspiration from books for my art. Ty, for once again, sharing your sketchbook with your lovely drawings.

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you Roksanna and glad you liked to see the sketches :)

[@roksannastephens4375]

@@Merveillesenpapier Yes, of course

cant wait to join this workshop been waiting all year for it and it's a little gift to myself

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Well if you join I hope you will enjoy it ! At least you are sure this way you will love this gift :)

[@rozanidesignsmasquerade7050]

That was great advice❣️ So often, we begin projects that seem never ending and we lose interest. There they may sit unattended, collecting dust or being eaten by little creatures. You are a great motivator, among your many artistic skills. I can only imagine the joy in completing an entire castle dollhouse with detailed furnishings and decor. Perhaps I may create something similarly smaller as a home for my characters. Thank you for the inspiration and for sharing your enthusiasm with us about this wonderful art form that we enjoy so much. 😍

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank You Rozani! I' m glad it it motivated you in some way! yesit's sad to leave projects unfinished... compteling projects especially big ones is so satisfying !That's a good idea ,to start a small dollhouse if you have little inhabitants who need a home. You are most welcome ♥

[@rozanidesignsmasquerade7050]

You’re most welcome. It’s not often that we can share the ins and outs of the creative process. There is a very rewarding feeling of being understood from another creator. Very much appreciated. 💖

[@jkom601]

Dear Laetitia ❣️can’t believe how time flies! Somehow ran across your KZbin in 2010 and was absolutely enchanted❣️You are such a beautiful inspiration for me and feel so blessed to be part of your adoring group of Papier-mâché magicians ❣️❣️thank you ❣️❣️❣️❣️

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you Mary Anne, yes time flies that's for sure. Thank you for your kind words and for still visiting me from time to time ;)

[@jackiedrowley3351]

You inspired me to make one now I have three of them .

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Oh nice! Glad to read that Jackie !

[@annissa8959]

Oh, this is so lovely and inspirational! I am a miniature lover myself and had plans to build a very grand mixed media dollhouse, but I had to quit the project due to not having the economy for it. I made quite a lot of often cardboard based furniture for it, but the polymer clay dolls ( my very own characters) that I wanted to live in that palace I have continued to make and I even had a story idea for all of this. Maybe I will be able to return to this project in the future.

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you !I hope you could go back someday to your own grand Dollhouse and find creative ways to complete it !

[@jessicastrideart]

They look so beautiful and magical! I always love seeing your drawings too, they are works of art in themselves.💖

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you Jessica! You will see a lot of them in all the White Cat Videos coming :)

[@Heather_LoveTheLittleHouse]

Oh! Your dollhouses are so unique and beautiful!!! Your craft is magical. ❤

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you very much Heather ;)

[@witchapparatus]

Beautiful as always!

[@lianapalumbo8457]

Its funny that you said to do a little bit every week so as not to loose interest. These last 2 years have been very hard for myself and my youngest daughter health wise, and things have been left. Well about 2 months ago i started to do a little bit everyday. I started with 15 minutes and then if i was ok I'd do another 15, and I'd do this everday, except on the weekends. However I noticed that it became second nature and slowly I was able to sort out everything I needed to, health permitting. We are now sorting things outside. Its hard work as we live on acreage and have rescue animals but we're getting there. Sometimes I feel we overwhelm ourselves and it all seems too much. I've been keeping an eye on the lookout for a dolls house to do up. Thank you Laetitia for all your encouraging words. Have a wonderful week 🤗 xx

[@Merveillesenpapier]

yes it's such an underestimate way to togo back on track on a lot of things and especially big projects or overwhelming tasks I can imagine it was a lot of work from your part it's good that you are getting there ! You are most welcome! A good end of week to you too!

[@amandajephson9964]

You are so perceptive, about the process of creating! I so agree about not letting time go by without doing a little bit everyday on a project! I am so inspired by your doll house creations they are definitely a very exciting project. I can't wait to do my own on your workshop soon! I am sure it will satisfy a desire many of us have to decorate and redocorate many rooms! And how about the wish for a Chateau, without all the maintenance, ha ha !

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you Amanda! Glad if you are inspired :) yes there are so many satisfying aspects of creating and decorating all these little rooms, maybe creating the castle we would love to live in ...

[@lynnedaniels650]

Your dollhouses are breathtaking! 😍Carla's is beautiful too!

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you yes Carla made a beautiful house with very creative and fun rooms and pieces of furniture !

[@anthonylewischurchill-theg233]

You are truly amazing, Thank You for inspiring me THANK YOU, BLESS YOU

[@Merveillesenpapier]

You are most welcome Anthony! Have a lovely creative weekend !

[@lorraineabernethy3042]

Well! Your work and your words have motivated me to go back to that unfinished Little House and continue the work! I am excited again....and have just mixed a new pot of glue.....I'm ready! Many thanks, Laetitia.

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Hello Lorraine! I'm very glad ro read that (and sorry I'm late and slow with my emails ) oh that's exciting your dollhouse deserves to be finished!!! And you had such lovely ideas for it , I'm curious to see it completed ! You have done the biggest and most difficult part ! Show me your progress and join one of our dollhouse skype this spring if you want !

[@zetasattic]

Another magical inspirational video so thank you very much ! A long time ago I made miniatures with clay and balsa wood but what you create with paper is amazing!! Thanks again for sharing your world with us ❤😊

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you Dawn! Oh nice I didn't know this wood! Thank you for stoppping by:) You are msot welcome !

[@barefootbutterfly]

[@marjanwolfs6273]

I'am making "real"dollshouses for many years. It is all 1:12 scale and I love making dolls and flowers. Not very good in making things with wood. Some day , I don't know when, I want to make a fairy dollshouse like yours. They are so beautiful and it fits in a story. I'am looking for your white cat house. I love cats, houses, well everything you make. Have a very nice weekend.

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Thank you Marjan! real miniaturist dollhouses are fascinating too! It's not a house Im doing this time it's some rooms and miniature versions of her castle.for the different scenes. You will see that in the first white Cat Video Thank you Marjan! I hope your weekend is more sunny and warmer than here....

[@ladycharlotte8693]

Thanks for the advice, I think I will make a card board mock-up of a cottage, to begin my inspiration, I would love to make a dollhouse of my home , but with a fairytale twist…..will you show us how to make figures? Also I adore your storytelling, your images and movement with boats and carriages, the little accessories as you tell your stories are amazing, just lovely✨love your channel 🕊

[@Merveillesenpapier]

That's a fun idea to make a dollhouse of your home like in the novel "The Miniaturist ", I have some workshops all about characters and small dollhouse characters on my workshop website ;) Thank you! Glad you enjoy what I share here ! :)

[@Sanity_Faire]

Did you do the art in that book? I’d like to hold it and study for hours!

[@Merveillesenpapier]

Do you ask if I did the sketches in the sketchbook when I show the butterfly bedroom and all that? , yes of course, you will see more more in the White Cat Video.probably coming next weekend :)

[@ladycharlotte8693]

I would soooo buy a copy of one of her sketch books!

[@Sanity_Faire]

@@ladycharlotte8693 yes yes! Oui! :)

I love your house! 🥰💖🏰
