    Love the kit, love the possibilities, and love the Luck of the Draw option to win. So many ideas flinging around in the brain and I agree with past posts...I hope the idea in my brain can work through to my hands and make the idea into a reality. Thank you Dean and Co. for a grand kit for Flinging!!!!!

    Bummer!!!!! I was so sure last night when I went to bed that the albumn would be open now. The site was down so I figured you all were deep into eye-candy and crashed the site Oh well, I'll keep checking back. Love the names everyone's coming up with...too funny

    Although I also could have used more time (most likely for me it would be more time to procrastinate ;) ) and submit more pictures (I don't think the judges could see the anatomy pictures on my walls)...I think it helped the judges because there were fewer entries and less pictures to look at and say, "Oh did you see this?"

    Alright, who was it that was making a time machine???? Better get a hussle on it we might need it for the resurection ceremony

    My luck they'll come up with a "Fall Fling" or a "Winter Wonderland" or something clever.

    1/2 scale would be great due to having the room issue but now I can use items from other displays...I'd have to buy all new people and items...I'm sure HBS wouldn't mind but my pocket book sure would

    Yes. They are from a skeleton garland. They are 6" and came 8 on a string. They don't bend at the knees or elbows...well not willingly at least:D but they were just the right size. Just googled and found them online;)

    The blue is Valspar's Cosmic Blue and then aged with DecoArt Ebony Gel Stain. I used that gel stain a lot on ceramics. I'll have to take more pictures of my fling cause that is what I used on the shingles too. I loved that it gave a varigated effect rather than a complete coat like paint would and because its a gel it doesn't run like most stains. I did the roof of a 1/2 scale lightkeeper's cottage the roof and exterior of the Spring Fling and I still have some left in the 2 ox. bottle. I found it online for a little over a dollar. Great product!!!!!

    Thoughts and prayers are with you. Hopefully this will take care of the problem.

    A little Flinged out right now but I have a 1/2 scale lighthouse and the HBS contest in the works. Need to figure out where I'm gonna put the Spring Fling building so I have room to work on the other two. Until I get "unflinged" I need to do some much neglected house cleaning and reorganizing of my many mini items.

    Animal lover here too. I have two dogs...both have curled tails so no smacking of dollhouses or clearing off coffee tables. I've had labs and they could clear off a coffee table faster than I could. My chow is very cat like so I feel like I have a 45 pound cat :laughbounce:

    Wow, a lot of interesting eye candy. I am learning to put aside my perfectionism because it does not go well with my procrastination. I should have put more emphasis on the landscape but as usual time did not permit it. Life just has this way of messing up all my plans. I look forward to browsing the rest of the eye candy I'm sure I've missed a lot of them.

    The grim twist...the "dead" are people and the "people" are skeletons. The one skeleton was even overcome by the fumes. A very fun project.

    Congrats everyone. Though we were all winners I had my favorites and I can see I wasn't alone...lol WTG EVERYONE! I had so much fun and the deadline pushed me to complete my first house so I'm especially proud of my accomplishments. What a great community. Thank you Greenleaf and especially the judges...you had a job I wouldn't want for any amount of money in the world. You did awesome...love the choices.
  18. eglefther
    I'm hoping...on second thought...lets make that a resounding NO. The Spring Fling was my first completed house and I have eleven others either in boxes or partial state of completion.

    Rhonda, you are so welcome! And I so agree with you Cathy, I feel sorry for the judges too. It is just so great to see how many different ideas came from the same kit. Even those with the same theme are so different from each other. Can't wait to see them all posted!
  20. eglefther
    What a great idea!!!! If the HS doesn't accept how about the ASPCA? Please do make a list of needed/wanted items. I'll help where I can.

    Very well done. I see something different everytime I look at your gallery. I'm very impressed and a little (okay so a lot) green :lol:

    I can't say that I've seen any miniature house that had too much but I would agree with what has been said in that it needs to fit the time period you are going for. Victorian house should be crammed with things...but they would have to be the RIGHT things. I also think the details make or break a house. I suppose one could go overboard on too many colors. Hmm dunno...just love the eye candy

    Okay my avatar is changed too. Rhonda, I just went into my gallery, found the picture and clicked avatar next to the options button. I didn't have to resize it at all...course I don't know what size mine is...that would make a difference...lol If that doesn't work I'm sure there is someone here that can help. I've resized before but the old timer's thing prohibits me from recalling the details...lol

    Thanks to everyone for the awesome comments on The Red Door Flour Mill. It was a blast to make and for my first attempt I'm pleased with the results and happy you enjoy it. Thanks again...you are a great bunch. I'm proud to be a part of this miniature family.
