I take no credit for the basic idea for this project!

When I was working on my Heart Arbor Project, I came across the August 1993 issue of Nutshell News which had one of Joann Swanson's Do-It-Yourself columns. In "Heidi's Grandfather's Chalet" she made the "boulder" stonework for the building & fireplace from foamcore. After using her technique to make the back of Louis' Shamrocks & Shillaghs, I simply decided to adapt it to make a brick foundation for my Willowcrest. So, credit for the technique is all hers!

You should also know that I've entered the steps to this project "backwards" so that they can be read in order, rather than from the bottom up.
