Grey House

After trying to take a year off from building to take a break I made it 5 months and just had to clean up the craft room island and start to create a new house.  I found a picture of a brick house I wanted to create, then I thought I am not in the mood for making the bricks and that I haven't done a wood house in forever.  Plus, you can see pictures below when I started creating the house to match that it ended up being to big and I ended up cutting the house in half and just created a house with some of the same architectural lines of the inspiration picture. I thought it would take me forever to finish the house since I had taken so many months off but this went really quick at about 7 days.  But from 5 to 8 hours per day or more standing at the craft island with a sore back building, it became so addictive I couldn't stop certain nights and had to force myself to go to bed.  I hope this brings some inspiration to you. Have a wonderful Month.  Stan

Gnome Tree Stump House

 Hi Everyone, I wanted to share my latest creation.  I was gong to take a break from building more houses since the Denver Miniature Sales Show is in September, but I can never sit still.
I had just spent 3 weeks driving and touring 3 different states to try and find a future retirement house to buy, which will be a vacation home until were ready to retire.  But I came home so exhausted after all the hours on the road and looking at house I came home and even though I was exhausted I was inspired to create a Gnome Tree Stump House.  I just wanted to share the house I just completed last week which only took me about 7 days from start to finish.  .  It turned out pretty good for all the paper pulp I used to create the bark look on the house.  I think it will take about 3 more weeks to completely dry all the way through since it is from 1/2 to 3/4 inches thick in areas. I get so involved and carried away when I am creating I again forgot to take step by step pictures. I one day will hopefully see if someone could video me so I can show you how my fast crazy building process goes.
 I ended up finding pictures online to quickly turn into Gnome artwork around the house.  Its not perfect wood frames. But I work quickly to keep my prices down.  Plus most people re decorate the interiors anyway.  I hope it inspires.  Have a wonderful month.  Stan
