Accessories Traveling Doll “House”

In sculpture class, we were given a project to make a tool that didn’t already exist. I had a doll show to go to this past weekend, so I wanted to make something that could carry a doll safely.

Unfortunately, I didn’t complete it soon enough for the convention (I only had worked on it for 2 days), but I did get a prototype completed. I would change a lot and get a bigger bag, as the only way Bee could fit was if she was sitting. Still, for my second time working with wood, I think I did okay.

I’d like it to not only be bigger (which would require a bigger backpack), but less messy. I didn’t know how to get out my mis-shot brad nail, so it’s kinda there being ugly. Her clothing is in the drawers.

Here is a really quick time lapse of it.

 

Thank you! Yeah, it’s a little rough all around. But, it’s better than I thought it would end up being so I’m pleased. If I redo it this way, I want to paint it or cover the wood completely.

 

Yes! My critique in class today went really well and I got some feedback from my professor and the woodshop tech. They can help me smooth it out.

I’d also like to make a “trunk” style carrying case that would allow for two MSD sized dolls, but still keeping it like a little portable house. I will post more photos when I make improvements!

 

Thank you!

 

Thank you!

 

It was a very open first project in my sculpture class. We didn't always get fun projects :p
And, yeah, there's a lot I would do differently now but that's a good idea
