This is my first project made with paper clay.  I just discovered the miniature blog sites while browsing the Internet, and i ran across a blog with a miniature of Hagrids Hut from Harry Potter, the person said they spent about 2 years in building the home, i created this one in 3 weekends on my days off.  I don't have a long enough attention span to work on the same project for two years.  I have got to say i loved my first experience with paper clay, and i did the best i could making the interior, lights etc.  I had fun also making the veggies out of regular clay, and my little man eating plant in the front yard.  So this is my version of another persons version of Hagrids Hut.  I don't believe in perfection, and i do find myself rushing to get things done, i always believe an imperfection can be covered with paint or an item in front of the imperfection.

  3. Hello Stan! Thanks for following my blog, as you can see I returned the visit! ah ah!
    I'm perfectly okay with you, perfection does not exist!
    rather, we must do our best to get a good result, and after several tests, finding the right solution.
    but this does not mean to wait too long!

    I greatly admire your work, for three reasons:
    1 - this hobby is usually the preserve of women, and instead you're a man, and I might even marry you for this! :)) my husband can not do anything like that, nor is he fond of miniatures ...
    2 - I find that working paper mache is much more difficult than working with wood, because you know even shape it!
    wood, apart from the problem of gears and precision, after all, just paste, sand and paint ...
    3 - you are quick, easy, secure your movement. perhaps this stems from your experience?

    Finally, you have a lot of imagination, I like the idea of the house of the gnomes!
    with this, I salute you and I do my best compliments.
    I wish you many more followers to your blog, you deserve it all!
    a hug from far Italy!
    Caterina

    PS: You have a beautiful dog! :))

  4. Welcome to Blogosphere!! What a wonderful first attempt with paperclay, it's wonderful stuff to work with.

    I love your Hagrid's Hut and there are many Harry Potter fans in Blogoshpere. :o)

    Perfection is not something I do either...because there are few things in real life that are!
