multi-color dormer house...

Post by Howard »

good evening...

this is one of the last major projects i'll do this year...here is a link to a vintage piece that is similar to the one i built...

http://www.cardboardchristmas.com/papateds/Hom2005.html ...scroll down to october...

i also worked from other pictures...all with different dormer, window and tree arrangements...

this one is about 5 1/2" tall...base measures about 4 1/2" x 7 1/2"...finish is sifted sawdust colored with craft paint...

never thought i would like green icicles...but i do now!...

my very best regards...howard...

my very best regards...howard...
