Hi Will, nice houses, would you tell me more about how you made the base? Thanks

These little houses are really cute, Will. I love the round windows on that last one you posted.

Thanks BurghGal, Lynn, and Barb for the compliments! This last house was kinda fun because I gave it a totally different look than my usual houses. Lynn: The base for the last house was completely by mistake! I 1st started off with a flat base, but then decided to build it up by adding a frame. Long story short-- the flat base literally "sunk" into the frame, thus gave it the effect of a wall of sorts! So, since there was some extra space available, I decided to fill it with an inner fence and some low-set shrubbery. Walla! :mrgreen: I will now share a popular quote from a famous 20th century painter we all know and love--

"There are no mistakes, just happy accidents!" :lol:

I had that happen to me once but didn't think to add a fence!
