Greetings to all…
This month’s project is my version of a vintage house that was shown in the November 2007 issue of Country Sampler magazine on page 12…the picture is copyrighted so I can’t post it…(but I guess it’s OK to identify the source)…my interpretation is probably a little smaller…but I did try to capture the proportions, details, stucco finish and colors…
A few notes…it sits on a 4 ½” x 6 ½” x ¾’ thick base…fence is ¾” high…posts are 1” high…finish is ordinary birdcage gravel applied over white glue then primed and painted…a few selected areas are blushed with extra fine clear glitter…the two windows could have been cut a little larger…the door and window mullions are hand-cut cardstock with a couple of coats of metallic gold paint…the front porch is a triple-thick piece of cardboard…
Also note…there is a small, triangular piece of cardboard that is not shown on the pattern that you’ll have to cut to fit…see the red arrow on the work-in-progress photo…it fills in the gap between the front bump out room and the part of the house with the other window…
Speaking of cut-to-fit…there will be some cutting and fitting of the two roofs to accommodate the chimney…so I’d make the pieces oversize to start with…then trim as needed…
The patterns are in the PDFs below the work-in-progress photo…I’ll post a picture of the completed house later this month…stay tuned…
Howard…
