answers to above questions...

lee...i use Sulyn brand "crystal" glitter (hobby lobby sells for about $7.00 for large size...12-oz?...also available on-line...try amazon)...i also mix in a some mica flakes...i don't measure...i just mix...maybe 75% glitter 25% mica...i do run the mica through an old fashioned hand crank flower sifter so the flakes are small...

no painter's tape or spray adhesive...windows and doors are installed after all glitter and mica are applied...i use ordinary white glue...the cheap hobby lobby brand...about $2.00 for their large bottle...

brian...it's a small house...only 5 x 7 base...6" tall...actually would probably be easier to make and finish if it were larger...

tom...first...hope you are on the road to recovery from your surgery...haven't used any "fuzzy" windows yet...but real soon...i hope...

my very best regards...howard...

This is one of my favorites ever, Howard. The color scheme is perfect. I've missed out on some months of work, so I'm catching up now.
