Pretty happy with how the "mural" looks in #themysticpearl I especially like the little door under the stairs.🤭

Still having a tough time getting back to creating minis.🤔 I'm coloring a page (from Secret Garden coloring book by Johanna Basford) to use as a mural in #themysticpearl
I'm excited to finish. Little more coloring, accents w/ gel pens, then clear sealer.

Coloring page of garden from the Secret Garden coloring book pictured.

Inside the dollhouse where the "mural" will be. Love the placement of the tiny door under the stairs.

I had a mini meltdown, then did some major rage cleaning, ending up moving the dollhouses upstairs (except for #TOMH and #themysticpearl) and closing the door for a little while. Using this room more like therapy when visiting #myminitown #mpminis #dollhouseminiatures

So Pops met Dorella who knows lots about dragons, and they made fast friends.

This pair sits above my work table in the craft room. The mirror was a gift from my daughter and is similar to a mini one in #themysticpearl that I made a long time ago. #polymerclay #polymerclaypeople #greenwitch

Hanging moon mirror looks down on green witch and old man caring for a baby dragon.

Now for the other side of #themysticpearl A sandbox to play in, benches to sit, some trikes for the kiddos and a sweet seat with an umbrella to relax and read a book.
#dollhouseminiatures #miniatures #mpminis #myminitown #myminiatureworld #atthebeach

Outside the Mystic Pearl, behind the fountain are benches and a turtle shaped sandbox.

In the sand sits a yellow Adirondack chair with a yellow and white striped umbrella. A drink is on the arm of the chair and a book on the seat.

Marie and Trixie have some company making protest signs. Phil and Tim brought wood and their tools to help out.

My hubby has a notebook full of "signs" so I had him print a couple small for my gang.
