Miniature "Kiki's Delivery Service" House diorama // Studio Ghibli Crafts

Back at it again with another entry into the Studio Ghibli Craft series. This time, it’s the Kiki’s Delivery Service Okino House, covered in moss and flocking. Yes, a location that only appears in the film for seven seconds during the first five minutes of the film. Craft and flock along at home and we learn how to hide mistakes with layers and layers of moss and ivy.
This is episode three in an ongoing series on crafting various things from my favorite Studio Ghibli films. Stay tuned for more episodes, culminating with a Howl's Moving Castle miniature episode.

Maybe Destiny Island or Hollow Bastion castle, perhaps?
