The White Orchid
The landscaping is done with mirror squares and clear glass pebbles. Accenting the house on each side, are crystal swans with golden wings.
The White Orchid
I'm just completely twitterpated over this house. The White Orchid is the only synthetic material house produced by Greenleaf and I am very, very fortunate to have one of the few produced. It's an exact duplicate of the Orchid Dollhouse, except it is made of Sintra instead of wood.
When I took the White Orchid out of the box, the first thing that went thru my mind was that the pristine white was such a perfect medium for textiles that I couldn't cover it with paint or wallpaper. My muse peered over my shoulder and said, "Well then, let's make it a "Designer House", not a dollhouse. I agreed and we went to work. I spent a couple of days going thru my stash of fabrics, beads and embellishments and what happened after that was just the pure joy of creating. I used velvet, chiffon, aurora borealis beads, lead crystal drops, pearls, clear glass, mirrors and a huge assortment of other bits and pieces. The end result is a house full of tone on tone whites, pure crystal and silver. While the pictures don't show it well, the whole focus of this house is a sensory experience. I hope you enjoy the gallery as much as I enjoyed building this delight.
