good evening...

probably of not much interest but to a few...but i found it interesting...apparently it's not a mirror as i first thought...

the reflective black surface the houses are sitting on in the photos may be a piece of highly polished black granite...

Hello everyone,
I also think these houses are wonderful. Great detail and workmanship. She states that she used white glue and white paint mixed together to make snow on the base. Has anyone else ever used this technique? I think I would like to try it but i am unsure of the proportions. It may just be a case of trial and error.
