I'm still getting the base done for this house. Today, I put in the chimney on the side of the house.
I used cardboard. This is just to give me a shape. It will all be concrete.
On the other side, I already framed the window inside and outside and painted it gray.
You can still see the glue not yet dry on there.
I also worked on the front door. It's also gray with a Melissa Frances embellishment.
I put a little rust running down from the door knob.
This is the window box that will go under the attic window in the front. I used a flower embelishment that I painted white. Then I used a brown ink pad to highlight the whole thing.
I'm going to try putting lights in the turrets with some stained glass windows. We'll see how that comes out.
This is inside so far. Nothing exciting yet.

  4. I love castles as much now as I did when I was a girl. I have a few books on castles (for children LOL!) They are pop up books full of details of castle life. I love the flower embellishment on the front door. The princess doll has good taste. Looking forward to what comes next!

  12. You wrote for your last sentence: "Nothing exciting yet." Are you kidding me? You are the FONT OF CREATIVITY! You make ME, who is totally uncreative, imagine exciting, magical things to come! :)
    Best,
