My new Gnomes House I started working on this weekend. I will send more photos hopefully next week, when I have a chance to work on it again.
To help hid the frames of the windows and doors I decided to add some stones around them.
Ya hoo my Mushrooms look pretty good for my first ones.
I decided to take a nap after putting in the windows and the doors, and during my nap I had an idea, and decided I would add mushrooms to the side of the House. As you see I questimated where I would place them and hot glued on some more cardboard. I then added tinfoil to add bulk, so that the paper mache would dry and not be so thick. Lets hope it turns out ok, this is my first attempt at making a Mushroom.
I decided to add a unusual fire place chimney, more cardboard and a hanger and tin foil.
I cut off the top for access into the Gnome Home.
Adding the windows and doors.
Cutting out the windows and doors.
I started the Gnome House with making a cardboard surface that I added paper mache to form. I then let air dry overnight, and once dry I then remove the cardboard and start to build the home.
Exciting! What progress, you certainly are speedy but detailed with it! The mushrooms will be brilliant . I love the style of it, It looks like it could hang from a tree itself! Your living room looks pretty wonderful too, I like to be noisy and see the surroundings you work in!! Kate
