Cloud Ceiling Mural

 I am adding a mural of clouds to the ceiling of the first floor of the AG dollhouse.

This is inspired by the Long Gallery at Harlaxton Manor in Grantham, UK.

Unfortunately, I am not much of an artist.

So instead of painting the clouds by hand, I bought a cling film depicting a blue sky and clouds, and used Mod Podge to attach it to the ceiling, before I put the dollhouse together.

If you do anything like this, I recommend unwinding the cling film from the spool for at least a day before you apply it, to let it flatten itself out a bit.

I used a squeegee to smooth out any wrinkles while gluing.

This makes me very happy, and it cost $6 for the cling film. It's far nicer than anything I could paint!

Here it is in place on the ceiling. I will trim the edges once the glue is dry.
