Greetings to all...

It's a new month and time for a new project...this one was inspired from some images I saw on the internet...the images were under copyright so I can't show them...

I'll post another picture shortly of the finished house in raw cardboard and some of the assembled parts...

My version of the bow roof house has been sized to fit the "Pack-O-Fun" houses...it sits on a 3" x 4 1/2" x 3/4" base...I'll post a link to these houses later...

More later...stay tuned...

Bow Roof House update...

Here's a photo of the assembled house, base and other pieces ready for the next steps...the door and window frames are cut from glittered card stock...roof trim scallops were cut with inexpensive craft/scrap booking scissors...the one-piece window panel lets me install all the windows at one time...those are toothpicks sticking out of the balcony...they make it a lot easier to hold the balcony in place while the glue dries...

The colors will probably be silver, gold, pink and turquoise extra fine glitter...with my usual base finish of craft store glitter with a small quantity of mica flakes on the base...

Stay tuned...

Howard...

Nice little house Howard, I love the roof and how the window and door trim is on the outside of the openings.
